That's a video game. I'm not into gaming, and so I've never played it.
From what I heard, though, the KH series, which sounded like such a bad idea
when it was first announced, has actually been pretty successful. I do know
of some "Kingdom Hearts" manga. It's weird seeing the Disney characters
drawn in black and white surrounded by manga conventions.

I think there was some video game called "Mickeymania" that featured
Mickey as a badass, in adventures inspired by the earlier Mickey shorts, when
he really was a badass modelled after Douglas Fairbanks.

This toonzone thread has some information about it.

It doesn't look very interesting. The alien characters all look the same.
The two new characters, Hanako and her grandma, I'm trying to place the
character design style for them, I'm not sure.

So, do they do puns with their word for "what"? ( Nan or nani ).
