Ghost in the Shell is one of the most important franchises in manga and anime. The series began as a manga created by Masamune Shirow, which has seen numerous sequels, film and anime adaptations, video games, and more. It’s even set to receive another anime adaptation courtesy of one of the best contemporary anime studios, Science Saru, set to premiere in July 2026. If you’re looking to experience the source material before this new anime series drops, you’re in luck–the original manga and several of its sequel books were reprinted earlier this year with the gorgeous The Ghost in the Shell Legacy Edition box set, and thanks to Amazon’s Spring Sale event, you can snag the three-book set for just $107, saving you nearly 25% compared to its $140. This is a temporary price cut that will only be available during Amazon’s sale, which ends on March 31.
The Ghost in the Shell Legacy Edition Manga Box Set includes three deluxe hardcover volumes housed in a slipcover case. The first is the original The Ghost in the Shell that restores the scenes and artwork from the original Japanese version of the manga that were removed for the western release. The set also includes both manga follow-ups, The Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human Error Processor and The Ghost in the Shell 2.0: Man‑Machine Interface.
Along with the books, the collection also comes with a set of ten 10-ich posters based on the rare 1997 Cyberdelics releases. Each posted is printed on etched metallic vinyl stock with holographic spot gloss finish–in other words, these are high-quality prints. There’s also a set of multi-colored Fuchikoma robot stickers and an additional poster with information about Shirow’s creative process.
