Anonymous asked: Hi i wanted to ask if the ghost in the shell manga is uncesored and unedited ?
Our Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex manga is uncensored.
Our The Ghost In The Shell manga, at Kodansha’s request, is censored in one place (there’s a gratuitous sexual scene that I believe is missing from our edition). This decision was made years ago when the series was still with Dark Horse, I believe. Just like with Akira, we’re essentially just reprinting those Dark Horse editions (we’re using the same translations/lettering), so any edits made back then are still present.
