%%Until an English translation is authorized by the Asimov estate, names are taken from his original story and manga-only characters are romanized as best as possible. Please seek consensus if you have a "better" romanization.
Beginning in 2013, Creator/SideRanch ([[https://www.sideranch.co.jp/gingateikoku/ website link]]) has been producing a ComicBookAdaptation of Creator/IsaacAsimov's ''Literature/FoundationSeries''. Crediting the 1984 Japanese translation of ''Literature/TheFoundationTrilogy'' by Creator/HiroyukiOkabe, Seldon Project mangaka (including Creator/UzukiKumazuki and Creator/KeitaroKumazuki) have been adapting the [[FeaturelessPlaneOfDisembodiedDialogue plain text]] of Dr Asimov into visuals that match modern depictions of SpaceOpera.

!!''Ginga Teikoku Kouboushi'' provides examples of:
* AbsoluteCleavage: ''Volume 2: Foundation'': Commdora Licia wears a body-length black dress that displays a cleavage down to her midsection, with a cut along the side of her left leg that goes up nearly to the same point. The dress, thin body and pointy shoulder/ear accessories are there to contrast against her fat bald husband, the Commdor.
* ComicBookAdaptation: The Asimov estate authorized a small Japanese company (Creator/SideRanch) to produce this manga-style adaptation of the ''[[Literature/FoundationSeries Foundation]]'' series.
* DutchAngle: ''Volume 2: Foundation'': Once Pherl has learned about the {{Blackmail}} material, he's kneeling in desperation and terror with Limmar Ponyets in the middle ground, and [[OminousMultipleScreens dozens of screens in the background adding to the ominous and desperate feeling]] of the frame.
* EstablishingShot: ''Volume 1: Foundation'': The first several pages show [[StandardizedSpaceViews spaceships approaching Trantor]], and a shot of the planet-wide MegaCity as Gaal arrives.
* AGlassInTheHand: ''Volume 2: Foundation'': Jorane Sutt and Hober Mallow are drinking wine while they discuss a compromise. Incensed by Mallow's declaration that he can gain a political seat despite Sutt's opposition, Sutt smashes his glass on the table between them and says that he can put Mallow in jail for twenty years if the trader won’t accede to his demands.
* GratuitousEnglish: ''Volume 1: Foundation'': When he arrives on Trantor, the original Japanese has Gaal Dornick stop at an Information booth with "NFORMATION" displayed at the top of the booth in LED-style lights.
* HandshakeRefusal: ''Volume 1: Foundation'': When the ambassador from Anacreon arrives, [[AdaptationDeviation instead]] of trading weapons with Anselm haut Rodric, Mayor Hardin tries to shake his hand. Haut Rodric, however, strolls right past him.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: ''Volume 1: Foundation'': Anselm haut Rodric is drawn as the tallest character during the "Literature/TheMayors" storyline, with long pale hair that goes down to his shoulder-blades. Narrow eyes and a smirk indicate his arrogant personality before he even says word one.
* {{Narrator}}: The original works constantly use an omniscient third-person narration to establish character thoughts and body language, but this adaptation greatly restricts its use (not counting the ''[[EncyclopediaExposita Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' entry at the start of each storyarc). When there is narration, the text is rendered in a rectangular box.
* NerdGlasses: ''Volume 1: Foundation'': Dr Lewis Pirenne is of short, round stature with large, round eyeglasses (with frames so thin, the artists sometimes neglect to draw the temple stems). Dr Pirenne is in charge of the ''[[GreatBigBookOfEverything Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' that the Foundation has been working on for fifty years.
* OldMaster: ''Volume 1: Foundation'': When adapting "Literature/ThePsychohistorians", the mangaka remembered that Hari Seldon (who is dying of old age) is revealed to be skilled at [[FantasticFightingStyle Helicon Twisting]] in ''Literature/ForwardTheFoundation''. They add in a scene where a thug tries to grab Seldon's collar but he [[TapOnTheHead flips the thug to the ground, stunning them]].
* OminousMultipleScreens: ''Volume 2: Foundation'' When Limmar Ponyets tells Pherl about the recording device he put inside Pherl's nucleic transmuter, over a dozen screens (showing the Askonian joyfully celebrating the gold he was making) appear in the background. A [[DutchAngle slightly tilted angle featuring Pherl kneeling in the foreground adds to the ominous and desperate feeling]] of the frame.
* OpeningMonologue: The first three pages of ''Volume 1: Foundation'' use a {{narrator}} and sequential {{Establishing Shot}}s to establish the setting and describe why Gaal Dornick is on his way to Trantor to meet with Hari Seldon.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Seldon Project takes advantage of the manga’s visual format and Dr Asimov's [[FeaturelessPlaneOfDisembodiedDialogue lack of character/location details]] to come up with several designs without contradicting the original medium. They also change details from the original to take advantage of the visual medium, such as adding a FlashBack to [[SecondHandStorytelling Anselm haut Rodric's tales of battle]] or [[AvertedTrope averting]] SecondHandStorytelling during King Lepod's [[TheGrandHunt Nyak hunt]].
* SpeechBubbles:
** Normal human speech is in plain round speech bubbles, with a tail pointing to the onscreen speaker.
** [[{{Narrator}} Narration]] is in plain rectangular speech bubbles. No tails to imply anyone speaking the text.
** A RadioVoice is indicated for broadcasts and speakers by using double-lined rectangular speech bubble, with little spokes along the edges. No tails.
** Shouting is shown by using an angular speech bubble, as if the speaker drew the bubble while upset and was trying to draw a rectangle. Usually has a tail pointing at the speaker.
* StandardHumanSpaceship: A [[https://twitter.com/Sideranch/status/1107616767176667136?s=20 twitter post]] displays three concept sketches for Foundation battleships owned by the Trade Merchants. It’s thin, angular, and covered in details that might be sensors, shields, or weapons.
* TapOnTheHead: ''Volume 1: Foundation'': Hari Seldon, [[OldMaster aging practitioner of Helicon Twisting]], is assaulted by a thug, but flips them in one easy motion, knocking them out.
* TitleIn:
** When establishing locations, such as Gaal's arrival on the CityPlanet Trantor, or changing the scene to Anacreon, the location name usually appears in the upper-right of an EstablishingShot for that location.
** The introduction of MainCharacters is often, but not always, accompanied by a small {{narrator}} box giving their name and titles (if any), such as during the translation of "Literature/TheMayors", where Mayor Hardin and his assistant Lee appear at age 62 and 66, to indicate why the characters don't look quite the same anymore.
