The original manga that became a legendary anime franchise, now in a complete collector's box set. Deep into the twenty-first century, the line between man and machine has been blurred as humans rely on the enhancement of mechanical implants and robots are upgraded with human tissue. In this rapidly converging landscape, cyborg superagent Major Motoko Kusanagi is charged to track down the craftiest and most dangerous terrorists and cybercriminals, including "ghost hackers" who are capable of exploiting the human/machine interface and reprogramming humans to become puppets to carry out the hackers' criminal ends. Includes three large-sized hardcover volumes, plus a collectible lithograph by creator Shirow Masamune.

Great
Good, thick pages. Some stories are complex but this adds to the rereading value and is a staple of GITS universe. The authors notes were very enjoyable. The outer box the three volumes come in arrived with a little damage on it which was irritating But I don't think it's worth rating down the contents of the Manga for just be aware. Overall very pleased

Amazing! Great to see where the 1995 film came from.
Absolutely love this, the quality makes it worth the price, and it's GiTS! It does have a slightly different flavour to the anime films/series (more humour, more uncut, more William Gibson and less Philip K Dick) which you might not be expecting, but is great for the ultimate fan.

The ultimate edition of Ghost in the Shell manga
Although the manga is not for everyone (the art is just OK, the story is hard to follow; the fans of the anime may be disappointed because it is different), Kodansha did an amazing job to bring the manga classic in a hardcover boxed set collection. Beautiful over-sized books, many color pages, additions, side notes, plus a collectible lithograph as well - couldn't be any better. This box is cheaper than buying the individual volumes separately so it's a good deal.

Great story and really well presented box set of the originals.
Going on a Ghost in the Shell hunt and starting with the source work before moving on to the anime and the films and soundtracks - this seemed like a good start. I was wrong - it's a fantastic start!

Must have for new or returning collectors
I have been a huge fan of Masamune Shirow for years. I’ve owned a few publications of his work in my life but have lost, damaged or given everything away over time… I just never committed myself to truly collecting for one reason or another, even though I’ve grown up on Anime and Manga. I recently decided to become a legit collector and this was a great place to start. The box the books come in is sturdy and so far, second only to my Akira box set collection, which is the best quality box I’ve ever seen. It holds all three books together nicely and looks great. The books themselves are even more sturdy. The hard covers look amazing and the pages and printing are done very well. The binding is above average quality, and even though I have been thru each book multiple times, they hold up very well and still look brand new. You can’t even tell they’ve been opened or read - which is a testament to how well they’ve been made. The only word of caution I would offer is for parents. The third book flaunts the female form and nudity and is not kid friendly. Anime and Manga can be tricky to navigate in this regard. It’s easy to fall into stories and subject matter unexpectedly without any real warning. While this collection doesn’t venture into Ecchi or Hentai territory - it isn’t something most adults want young impressionable minds to look at. This isn’t input to police what other people allow in their homes. It’s a sincere bit of insight for returning fans who may have forgotten how “flashy” the books actually are. To each their own. Just be aware as nostalgia is usually built in with a little amnesia. Other than that, this is a quality collection. I don’t regret buying it at all. I would highly recommend it and am 100% pleased with the company I ordered it from and the manner in which it was delivered. Zero regrets.

Buenos materiales, gran edición
Buena impresión, papel de calidad y tapa dura. Excelente para leer (en inglés, eso sí) por el tamaño, algo mayor que lo que teníamos hasta ahora. Sentido de lectura japones. Advertencia para los mas puristas, faltan ese par de páginas que ya sabéis.

Honored to own the box set. 3Kg's of Philosophy. Masumane Shirow is a Legend.
Ghost in the shell pretty much inspired a lot of projects in the Cyberpunk Genre. It's my favorite anime and have probably consumed every single piece of content. The Box set is amazing. All hard cover with few pages colored. Censored a bit nothing major that would affect the storyline. It's amazing to see how something about the future was so ahead of it's time.
