<p>When I watched the anime <em>Bodacious Space Pirates</em>, I learned that it was based on the Light Novel series <em>Miniskirt Space Pirates</em>. However, there was also a sequel movie planned called <em>Abyss of Hyperspace</em>.</p>

<p>While I was looking at the Yuricon website, I found a listing for <a href="http://www.yuricon.com/product/bodacious-space-pirates-abyss-of-hyperspace-vol-1/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><em>Bodacious Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace</em> Vol. 1</a>.</p>

<p>So I am wondering what is the connection between the manga and movie of <em>Miniskirt Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace</em>? Are they an adaptation of one another or are they continuing their own media (the manga follows the light novel while the movie follows the anime)?</p>

When I watched the anime *Bodacious Space Pirates*, I learned that it was based on the Light Novel series *Miniskirt Space Pirates*. However, there was also a sequel movie planned called *Abyss of Hyperspace*.

While I was looking at the Yuricon website, I found a listing for [*Bodacious Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace* Vol. 1](http://www.yuricon.com/product/bodacious-space-pirates-abyss-of-hyperspace-vol-1/).

So I am wondering what is the connection between the manga and movie of *Miniskirt Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace*? Are they an adaptation of one another or are they continuing their own media (the manga follows the light novel while the movie follows the anime)?

**For *Abyss of Hyperscape*, the manga is an adaptation of the movie.**

[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodacious_Space_Pirates#Manga) mentioned about this in a brief,

However, the confusion between the continuity between the manga and the anime might arise because the anime overtook the original source (light novel)'s progress.

From [Japanese Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9F%E3%83%8B%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AB%E5%AE%87%E5%AE%99%E6%B5%B7%E8%B3%8A#%E3%83%86%E3%83%AC%E3%83%93%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1),
