About this Collection

This 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.
