Ghost in the Shell

by Masamune Shirow

Ghost in the Shell (Japanese: 攻殻機動隊, Hepburn: Kōkaku Kidōtai; lit. 'Assault Shell Mobile Squad') is a Japanese cyberpunk manga series written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow. It was first serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Young Magazine Zōkan Kaizokuban from 1989 to 1990, and was then compiled in a single tankōbon volume. Shirow produced two sequels: Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor and Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface. Set in the mid-21st-century, the manga tells the story of the fictional counter-cyberterrorist organization Public Security Section 9, led by protagonist Major Motoko Kusanagi.
