The September issue of Kodansha 's Young Magazine revealed on Tuesday that Jun'ichi Fujisaku and Hiroki Yoshimoto will launch a new Ghost in the Shell manga titled Ghost in the Shell: The Human Algorithm in the next magazine issue on September 20. The manga will also serialize a new chapter every two weeks in Kodansha 's Comic Days manga app. Fujisaku posted a photo of the magazine announcement on his Twitter account.

The manga is set after Masamune Shirow 's Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor manga, and will focus on Section 9 after the disappearance of the Major. In particular, it will focus on the stories of Togusa, Batou, Azuma, Ishikawa, and a newcomer from the Channeling Agency named Tsunagi. Fujisaku added that he is writing the story as if it was " Ghost in the Shell 1.75."

Fujisaku previously penned scripts for the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG anime, and supervised the Ghost in the Shell: Arise project.

Dark Horse Comics and later Kodansha Comics published Shirow's original 1991 manga and its sequels in North America.

Kenji Kamiyama and Shinji Aramaki are directing a new 3D CG anime for the franchise titled Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 that will premiere next year. Production I.G is producing the anime.
