The decrepit building was condemned long ago, but every time the owners try to tear it down, "accidents" start to happen-people get hurt, sometimes even killed. Mai Taniyama and her classmates have heard the rumors that the creepy old high school is haunted-possibly by ghosts from the Second World War. So one rainy day they gather at the told school to tell ghost stories, hoping to attract one of the suspected spirits. No ghosts materialize, but Mai and her friends do meet Kazuya Shibuya, the handsome young owner of Shibuya Psychic Research, who's been hired to investigate paranormal activity at the school. Also at the scene are an exorcist, a Buddhist monk, a woman who can speak with the dead, and an outspoken Shinto priestess. Surely one of them will have the talents to solve this mystery!

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. Until now, these stories were not previously published together. Human-Error Processor focuses on the everyday battles of Section 9 agents as they combat technocrime. 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.
The series follows Motoko Aramaki, an enigmatic character, as she investigates an incident at an organ factory and its consequences. In an attempt to rectify the situation and protect herself, she must avoid being captured. Meanwhile, the other members of section 9 are delving into Motoko's past to unveil her true identity.
Stand Alone Complex takes place in the year 2030, in the fictional Japanese city of New Port. The story follows the members of Public Security Section 9, a special-operations task-force made up of former military officers and police detectives. The manga presents individual cases that Section 9 investigates, along with an ongoing, more serious investigation into the serial killer and hacker known only as “The Laughing Man.”

He's in the middle of the African desert in WWII, with supplies running low and his sanity (or is it his morality?) long gone. All that's left is sex and agony. And maybe, eventually, death.
