Ghost in the Shell – Masamune Širó (2017)

It is the twenty-first century, and the line between human and machine is becoming increasingly blurred. People have mechanical implants, and machines are enhanced with human tissue. Agent Motoko Kusanagi is a member of a special unit that hunts down dangerous terrorists and cybercriminals, particularly deadly hackers who can infiltrate even the human brain. And behind it all, there may be something even more... This year, Crew will settle one of the fundamental comic debts! They will publish the cult manga that inspired several famous films, video games, and an amazing animated series. Ghost in the Shell is a work that laid the foundations for modern manga. The artist and writer Masamune Shirow is such an iconic figure that when purchasing the rights, it had to be signed that even in the Czech comic, his written sound effects and notes would remain – and would be translated separately. This is simply not just an action sci-fi. Shirow infused the manga with his own philosophy, theses on social issues, and the consequences of technological development. That is why both readers and creators continue to return to Ghost in the Shell, seeking inspiration.
