Ghost in the Shell: SAC to Spawn 2 New Manga in Japan…
According to ANN, Kodansha has confirmed that it will launch two new manga based on the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex television anime series in December.
From ANN:
The first of the upcoming manga, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex – Tachikoma na Hibi, will launch in the January issue of Kodansha’s Monthly Young Magazine on December 9. Masayuki Yamamoto is drawing this all-new manga based on Production I.G’s 2002 video anime series of the same name. This spinoff series of bonus anime shorts recounted the tongue-in-cheek stories of the Tachikoma AI tanks from the main Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime.
The second manga, simply titled Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, will launch in the 2009.02 issue of Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine on December 14. Yu Kinutani, the creator of the Amon and Shion manga and the artist of the Steamboy, Leviathan, and Pairon manga, will draw this manga version.
I’ve not read the Manga. I started with the anime itself. I like the style of the anime so I doubt I’ll be getting into the Manga series. I’m also looking forward to the Live Action version of Ghost In The Shell.
