☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume continues the official sequel to Masamune Shirow's original manga, bridging the gap between the classic series and the later 'Ghost in the Shell 1.5' and '2' storylines. Written and illustrated by Junichi Fujisaku, it follows Section 9 as they investigate a series of cyberbrain crimes and political conspiracies in a near-future Japan. Collects the third installment of this spin-off series, expanding on the universe's themes of identity and technology.
In "Below the Surface," Section 9 wraps up their investigation with a twist: the Osaki prosthetic body manufacturer is now under new leadership, leaving the team—and readers—wondering who’s really pulling the strings. Written by Jun'ichi Fujisaku and Stephen Kohler, with art by Yuki Yoshimoto, this issue delivers a sharp, atmospheric dive into the lingering shadows of corporate power and identity, all rendered with precision and quiet tension. The cover by Yuki Yoshimoto captures the mood perfectly—cold, sleek, and just a little unsettling.
In "One Step Ahead," Togusa, Tsunagi, and Azuma navigate the shifting lines between human and machine as Section 9’s mission unfolds amid the chaos of a high-stakes victory rally for Shinra Mikomoto. Meanwhile, Hashikami and the enigmatic Officiate Wakai test each other in a tense game of strategy, where every move could unravel the fragile peace.
In "Tipped the Balance," Section 9 wraps up their investigation, only to find themselves facing a surprising twist: the new leader of the Osaki prosthetic body manufacturer is someone they never expected. With the team—Major Motoko Kusinagi, Batou Buttetsu, Togusa, Tsunagi, Ishikawa, Saito, Pazu, Borma, and Azuma—navigating the blurred lines between identity and technology, the revelation shakes the foundation of their understanding.
