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.

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.
