The "lost" stories of Ghost in the Shell can be found in Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor. These tales were crafted by Shirow Masamune after completing the original manga and before creating the acclaimed Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface. Until now, these stories were not previously published together. Human-Error Processor focuses on the everyday battles of Section 9 agents as they combat technocrime. This entry to the franchise has the same mind-bending cyber madness one would expect from Ghost in the Shell, but in a police-procedural setting, complete with action and suspense.
By 2029, the world had undergone four global conflicts and embraced a new era of technological advancement that had profoundly altered society. With widespread cybernetic enhancements, robotic artificial intelligence, and cyborgs, humanity had become more machine than human. Nevertheless, this cutting-edge shift also catalyzed the evolution of crime, as hackers, corrupt authorities, and other opportunistic individuals found ways to manipulate inventive systems for their own gain. Amidst the rampant criminal activity in Japan, the government established Section 9, an elite team of highly skilled operatives tasked with countering these threats. Leading the charge was Major Motoko Kusanagi, a fearless and tenacious woman who spearheaded Section 9's efforts to combat cyberterrorism and safeguard the nation's stability in the face of an ever-advancing future.
