Koukaku Kidoutai: The Ghost in the Shell

Imagine Motoko Kusanagi, the female lead in Ghost in the Shell, reimagined with a horrific past. Kill Bill meets Ghost in the Shell. C.A.T. is a must read.

Dusk Howler addpermalink

"The Ghost in the Shell" is a cyberpunk seinen story, and "Dusk Howler" is a VRMMORPG shounen story, but I think both of these stories might appeal to those readers who are interested in topics such as the development of the soul of characters with artificial intelligence or the impact of high technology on the mental health of people in a near-future world. The novel "Dusk Howler" has mutants, super soldiers and space travel in the real world, but the manhwa adaptation of this novel mainly follows the adventures of the protagonist and his friends in a virtual fantasy game and rarely shows the life of the players in the real world, so this manhwa doesn't have any mutants, super soldiers, or space travel (the novel is about 12 volumes long, but the manhwa showed only the events from the first two volumes of the novel, and also greatly reduced the plot of the novel). read more

Appleseed addpermalink

Ghost in the Shell is the refined version of Appleseed. With the well known, favorite themes of cyberpunk, world politics and military industrial complex, Masamune Shirow writes a manga series that piques the intellectual curiosity of the reader, which is quite a rarity. Appleseed approaches the shared themes with the Socrates' and Plato's utopian ideals.

RahXephon addpermalink

Ghost In The Shell and RahXephon are similar because both are masterpieces of sci-fi genre, and the mangás storylines are strongly different from their respective anime versions.

I read the Ghost In The Shell mangá after watching the anime, and the characters are a lot different. Motoko and Batou telling jokes, a energetic Aramaki, and a more dense history turns this mangá in a must-read for the sci-fi fans. Just as dense as the RahXephon mangá, and both titles have cool action scenes. Try it out!
