    So, I was browsing my local bookstore yesterday and came across the recently released KH Final Mix manga.

    These: http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Heart...70094933&sr=8-1&keywords=kingdom+hearts+manga

    Intrigued, I flipped through them, but was disappointed to find that they seem like compiled versions of the manga collection released years ago by Tokyopop, which I still own.

    Does anyone know what the differences are (if there are any), or if despite owning the previous release if this is a worthy buy? I also own the Tokyopop release of Chain of Memories, which from what I understand is set to get a another release in this same fashion soon.

    I also believe KH II will finally get an uninterrupted manga release. This is the only Tokyopop release of KH I never purchased. Which I am glad I didn't, as it was cancelled anyways. So, given that I have both the original manga collection of KH and CoM, should I just skip these releases and wait for KH II? Or do these new releases have qualities that may warrant a purchase?

    Thanks. ​

    Hey I was wondering the same thing as you. I have brought the yenpress kh2 volumes even though I already had the Tokyopop ones. I noticed the lines seem cleaner and less bold in the Yenpress. There are some minor translation differences and all the Japanese sound effects have been translated which is good :) But I don't know if in the final Mix for kh1 manga has any extra content or not
