![]() ![]() The second, entitled Ghost in the Shell: Man-Machine Interface, takes place five years after the events of Ghost in the Shell, as the Major now goes by Matoko Aramaki. It follows Major Kusanagi and the rest of the crew as they track down a cybercriminal who has been hacking into the cyber brains of the future populace to bend them to its will. ![]() There are 3 parts to the original Ghost in the Shell manga, the first being the story of The Puppeteer. Ghost in the Shell follows Matoko Kusanagi, a member of Public Security Section 9, a counter-cyberterrorism organization in the fictional future city of New Port City. But that isn’t all that Shirow has to offer he has other manga series he’s created, along with a massive library of art books. Much of Masamune Shirow’s work deals with cyberpunk themes, including androids, mind-hacking, and cybernetic prosthesis. Arguably the most noted work of Masamune Shirow, the pen name of Masanori Ota, Ghost in the Shell is a cyberpunk story set in a future where humans have connected their minds to a series of networks and systems, and can even gain cybernetic prosthetics to become full-blown cyborgs. If you’ve ever come into contact with any of the iterations of Ghost in the Shell, you have Masamune Shirow to thank for that. ![]() Masamune Shirow’s Cyberpunk Writing Led to One of the Most-Recognized Anime in the World ![]()
