Below is the description and cover artwork of the new novel. On the Destiny Islands, three children–Sora, Riku, and Kairi–are living out their peaceful, carefree lives while yearning for whatever lies beyond the great ocean. But one night, an unexpected disaster takes place, and the three are torn from each other and their island home. Meanwhile, at Disney Castle, Donald Duck and the other castle residents are in an uproar upon discovering King Mickey has suddenly gone missing. When fate brings them together, Sora, Donald, and Goofy set out on a grand Disney adventure to find their friends.

Firaga 5,947 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I find their lack of Kairi disturbing... Any lack of Kairi is disturbing to you. Also, blegh, the illustration... Edited January 7, 2015 by Firaga Sensei Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reyn 1,755 Posted January 7, 2015 Any lack of Kairi is disturbing to you. Also, blegh, the illustration... Whats wrong with the illustration? Just because it's the same art style as the Manga? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firaga 5,947 Posted January 7, 2015 Whats wrong with the illustration? Just because it's the same art style as the Manga? Pretty much. I'd go into detail on why that is, but the long and the short of it is that I don't like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted January 8, 2015 Cover is "Meh", but I want the book really bad. So of course I'll be broke in March Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted January 8, 2015 So what makes it a novel? Is it just going to be all text or will it be all four volumes of the manga combined into one book? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultima Spark 753 Posted January 8, 2015 So what makes it a novel? Is it just going to be all text or will it be all four volumes of the manga combined into one book?It's two of the previously JP-only text novels translated and combined into one.
