The Ghost in the Shell: The Human Algorithm 6

This brand-new chapter fills in the gaps between The Ghost in the Shell: Human-Error Processor and Man-Machine Interface manga with a tense cyberpunk thriller written by Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex script writer Junichi Fujisaku. Just in time for the release of the new Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 anime on Netflix!

Hesitant to hurt others but longing to protect his family, the gentle Ajili has been conned into undergoing a “ceremony,” where he thinks he’s been chosen from among all others to don a terrifying prosthetic and fearlessly light the fire of revolution. In fact, he’s been poisoned with a cyberdrug derived from the venom of the black mamba—one that renders him nearly fearless and his cyberbrain susceptible to the installation of whatever new software his puppeteers desire. Meanwhile, Togusa and Tsunagi’s murder investigation, Batou’s failed training mission, a child organ harvesting ring, and a Chinese spy’s greed intersect all collide. Against the backdrop of the brutal Sahara, the stage is set for an explosive climax…A screenwriter, anime director, manga writer, and novelist, Junichi Fujisaku made major creative contributions to classic anime such as Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Ghost in the Shell: Arise, and Blood+. His latest is the manga The Ghost in the Shell: Human Algorithm, a sequel to Shirow Masamune's The Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor.

Yuki Yoshimoto is a manga artist whose debut is The Ghost in the Shell: Human Algorithm.
