Ghost in the Shell is a Japanese media franchise originally published as a seinen manga series

of the same name written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow. The manga, first serialized

in 1989 under the subtitle of The Ghost in the Shell, and later published as its own

tankōbon volumes by Kodansha, told the story of the fictional counter-cyberterrorist organization

Public Security Section 9, led by protagonist Major Motoko Kusanagi, in the mid 21st century

of Japan. Animation studio Production I.G has produced

several different anime adaptations of Ghost in the Shell, starting with the 1995 film

of the same name, telling the story of Section 9's investigation of the Puppet Master. The

television series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex followed in 2002, telling an

alternate story from the manga and first film, featuring Section 9's investigations of government

corruption in the Laughing Man and Individual Eleven incidents. The year 2013 saw the start

of the Ghost in the Shell: Arise film series with the release of the first two episodes.

The third episode of the four-part series is set to be released on June 28, 2014.

Title Shirow has stated that he had always wanted

the title of his manga to be "GHOST IN THE SHELL", even in Japan, but his original publishers

preferred Kōkaku Kidōtai. He had chosen "Ghost in the Shell" in homage to Arthur Koestler's

The Ghost in the Machine, from which he also drew inspiration.

Primarily set in the mid-twenty-first century in the fictional Japanese city of Niihama,

Niihama Prefecture, otherwise known as New Port City, the manga and the many anime adaptations

follow the members of Public Security Section 9, a special-operations task-force made up

of former military officers and police detectives. Political intrigue and counter-terrorism operations

are standard fare for Section 9, but the various actions of corrupt officials, companies, and

cyber-criminals in each scenario are unique and require the diverse skills of Section

9's staff to prevent a series of incidents from escalating.

In this post-cyberpunk iteration of a possible future, computer technology has advanced to

the point that many members of the public possess cyberbrains, technology that allows

them to interface their biological brain with various networks. The level of cyberization

varies from simple minimal interfaces to almost complete replacement of the brain with cybernetic

parts, in cases of severe trauma. This can also be combined with various levels of prostheses,

with a fully prosthetic body enabling a person to become a cyborg. The heroine of Ghost in

the Shell, Major Motoko Kusanagi, is such a cyborg, having had a terrible accident befall

her as a child that ultimately required that she use a full-body prosthesis to house her

cyberbrain. This high level of cyberization, however, opens the brain up to attacks from

highly skilled hackers, with the most dangerous being those who will hack a person to bend

manga anthology Young Magazine, and was released in tankobon format on October 2, 1991. Ghost
