The cover art for the ninth volume of the Kingdom Hearts II manga series has been revealed in a Japanese magazine. The art shows the main characters, Sora, Kairi, Donald, Goofy and Riku (looking like Xehanort's Heartless) in The World That Never Was. Volume 9 will be released in Japan on February 21.

 

Update: Square Enix has released the cover in full. You can view it below.

So this will contain chapters 59, 60, 61, 62, 63 and 64, I assume.

I'm praying they skip doing a Re:Coded Manga. I personally find most of the mangas really, really great so far. But, I really would like it if they caught up with the series by at least one game behind. Like once KH3 releases they're already working on a Dream Drop Distance manga perhaps.

 

I might be thinking a bit over the bar, but come on, who doesn't want that? A Birth By Sleep manga wouldn't be anywhere near as long as the KH2 manga was. It'd probably be as long as the Chain of Memories Manga.

 

Then again, I wouldn't mind if they actually skipped doing a BBS manga and went straight to a Dream Drop Distance manga, trying to explain the key events from BBS in certain points on there. 

I'd prefer if they did every game

I see where you're coming from. I would sort of like to see what they do with Birth By Sleep's story. 

 

But I seriously don't want them to make one out of Re:Coded. Complete waste of a game. Only worthwhile things in it was the two secret endings, which could be added to the beginning of Dream Drop Distance's manga.

 

A Re:Coded manga would be a complete waste, honestly. I mean there's no doubt the people writing it would put their own fun spin on the story, but again, 95% of it has nothing to do with the canon story. It's mostly a rehash of KH1. 

 

Plus, the Re:Coded Cutscenes on the HD Remix told the story really well too. I'd much rather have the people writing the mangas save the trouble of even bothering with Re:Coded and get straight to Dream Drop Distance once they're done with Birth By Sleep.

Well.....a lot of people don't think it's a waste even if they didn't like it. It's becoming more important to the story and we can't just deny it's existence.

 

Besides, I really doubt they would skip it. 

This looks super cool. Like the juxtaposition of Sora and Kairi.

 

Holy damn it looks awesome

This look amazing! Love the way all the characters look!

It hasn't been called anything apart from "guardian" or some variant. It's probably not even a Heartless... did you not play Birth by Sleep? ("Defeat Xehanort and his shadowy other!")
