Sinopse

This manga adapts Isaac Asimov's classic science fiction novel, "Foundation." The narrative begins with young mathematician Gaal Dornick's arrival on Trantor, the 12,000-year-old galactic empire's capital, at the behest of Hari Seldon. Seldon, a fellow mathematician, has developed psychohistory, a science that merges history, sociology, and statistics to forecast the future of large populations. Shortly after Gaal's arrival, both are arrested for treason. Seldon has predicted the Empire's collapse within 500 years, followed by a 30,000-year dark age. Though the fall is inevitable, Seldon believes psychohistory can reduce the dark age to 1,000 years. Unhappy with this prognosis, the Empire's rulers exile Seldon, Gaal, and their associates to the distant planet Terminus, marking the beginning of the Foundation.
