The Ghost in the Shell Legacy Edition (Kodansha, 2026)

Shirow Masamune's groundbreaking cyberpunk manga saga gets the deluxe treatment from Kodansha with all three Ghost in the Shell books published as hardcover, English edition (reading right-to-left), a collection of Ghost in the Shell posters, stickers, and a beautiful collector's box.

Witness the birth of Section 9 and meet super-star bad-ass cyborg, Major Kusanagi, in the first book of The Ghost in the Shell. Originally released in the U.S. in 1995, this inventive and ahead-of-its-time prophetic vision of the future introduced countless readers to the concepts of hacking, artificial intelligence, and the cyberpunk aesthetic.

A mysterious hacker known as the puppet master gains sentient life and demands political asylum, causing all kinds of problems along the way. The Major and her team of cybernetically enhanced soldiers, including Batou, Ishikawa, Saito, Togusa (who is mostly human), and Aramaki, attempt to deal with the situation in the most explosive and dramatic ways possible.
