DESCRIPTION
The door to Kingdom Hearts was sealed, dealing a blow to the heartless and restoring the worlds to normal, but Riku and King Mickey were trapped inside! Now Sora, Donald, and Goofy's search for their friends leads them to the mysterious Castle Oblivion, where a hooded figure tells them, "Ahead lies something you need, but to claim it, you must lose something dear." What could be more dear than their very memories themselves? And what do the shadowy members of Organization XIII want with them?

55/100En este castillo,perder es encontrar,y encontrar es perder//Here,in this castle,to find is to lose and to lose is findContinue on AniList___Kingdom Hearts:Chain Of Memores___ La segunda parte de esta gloriosa saga, en este manga nos cuenta el viaje de Sora y Riku por el Castillo del Olvido, después de que Sora, Donald y Goofy persiguieran a Pluto y Sora encontrara a un Desconocido encapuchado. Este Manga es mucho mas acelerado que el original siendo solo __2 Tomos__ de __13 capitulos__ en total, siendo una historia realmente breve y facil de leer, siguiendo la misma idea que el original, contarte la historia de una forma comica y acelerada para quien no pudiera jugar o quiera jugar estos juegos. Siendo el mas tedioso de jugar y mas facil de leer, mostrando una cara completamente mas hogareña de la Organizacion XIII, los nuevos villanos de la saga introducidos.
Esta historia nos pone como bien dije en el momento que Sora, Donald y Goofy estan vagando por una llanura desconocida, sin saber que hacer hasta que encuentran a Pluto con una carta del Rey Mickey, persiguiendolo intentando coseguirla, terminan perdiendose, una noche de descanso Sora, habla con una persona encapuchada. Despues de esto Sora nervioso prosigue el viaje, encontrando el Castillo del Olvido, donde nos diran la mistica frase de "En este castillo, perder es encontrar y encontrar es perder" dando en el manga a un momento muy pesado repitiendo la frase multiples veces, pero dando una explicacion de lo que ocurre, ademas de explicar a Sora, que a medida que avance se encontrara con las cosas de su pasado, repitiendo los mundos en los que ya viajo anteriormente otra vez, pero esta vez con todos los habitantes olvidandose de ellos, teniendo otros momentos, dramaticos y comicos. Mientras Riku pasara por lo mismo pero peleando contra la oscuridad que le invade.
El arte mantiene ese estilo ridiculo y dramatico que el autor quiere darle, dandole un toquecito mas evolucionado, mas refinado en ciertos momentos, con una ligera evolucion de unos personajes mas detallados, ademas de dar un poco mas de contexto a que hacia la Organizacion XIII mientras Sora y Riku viajaban entre los pisos, contandonos como funcionaba un poco el "Backstage" y siendo un poco mas informales al trabajar, con momentos como Marluxia, Axel y Larxene bebiendo y comiendo pollo frito o viendo como Vexen, Zexion y Leaxeus viven como si de estudiantes se trataran repartiendose las tareas del hogar.
Como bien digo este manga es mucho mas rápido de leer que el anterior, pero a la vez también se hace algo mas... pesado a o acelerado al ir a toda prisa, sin dejar tiempo a llegar a entender como se esta desarrollando todo, que posiblemente sea un poco la idea de como va también el propio juego.
**___Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories___** The second part of this glorious saga. In this manga, we follow the journey of Sora and Riku through Castle Oblivion, after Sora, Donald, and Goofy chase Pluto and Sora encounters a hooded Unknown. This manga is much faster-paced than the original, consisting of only **2 volumes** with **13 chapters** in total. It’s a very short and easy story to read, following the same idea as the previous one: telling the story in a comedic and fast-paced way for those who couldn’t or didn’t want to play the games. Since it’s one of the most tedious games to play, it’s the easiest one to read, showing a much more domestic and lighthearted side of Organization XIII, the new villains introduced in the saga.
The story begins, as I mentioned, with Sora, Donald, and Goofy wandering through an unknown plain, unsure of what to do, until they find Pluto with a letter from King Mickey. While chasing him to get the letter, they end up getting lost. One night, during a break, Sora talks to a hooded figure. After this, a somewhat nervous Sora continues the journey, eventually discovering Castle Oblivion, where we are told the mystical phrase: **“In this castle, to lose is to find, and to find is to lose.”** In the manga, this moment becomes a bit heavy due to the constant repetition of the phrase, but it helps explain what’s happening. Sora is also told that as he progresses, he will encounter pieces of his past, revisiting the worlds he had previously traveled to. This time, however, all the inhabitants have forgotten him, resulting in both dramatic and comedic moments. Meanwhile, Riku goes through a similar journey, but fighting against the darkness that threatens to consume him.
The artwork maintains the same ridiculous and dramatic style that the author aims for, but with a slightly more evolved and refined touch in certain moments, showing more detailed characters. Additionally, we get a bit more context about what Organization XIII was doing while Sora and Riku were traveling through the castle floors, giving us a look at the "behind the scenes." The members act more casually, with moments like Marluxia, Axel, and Larxene drinking and eating fried chicken, or scenes of Vexen, Zexion, and Lexaeus living like college students, splitting up household chores.
As I mentioned, this manga is much quicker to read than the previous one, but it can also feel a bit more... overwhelming or rushed, moving so fast that it doesn’t leave much time to really understand how everything is developing. That might very well be the point, just like how the game itself feels.
