Having to shrink-wrap for a couple pages...well, if it's violent I suppose I can see why. But nearly all the manga I see in stores lately is shrinkwrapped anyway, so I'm not surprised he went ahead on this. Hopefully it will encourage more adult natured material to be permitted. Like some of my favorite, amusingly smutty, 'ladies' comics' Razz

GITS is shrink-wrapped, cus of the porn, which isn't done very well, but is Shirow's only way of breaking even in Japan.

~Sigh~ It's shirnk-wrapped because of sex/nudity and not porn (and yes, there is a difference - regardless of how well it's done).

If it's anything like the sex scene from the original Ghost in the Shell, it's porn.

Shirow draws his ladies so well that I wouldn't mind the sex scene Wink .
But I decided to wait for the graphic novel by advice of a friend. He said its too confusing in episodes.

I was really suprised when I picked up a Japanese GITS (original) trade paperback at Comic Con. Not displeased, mind you, but suprised.[/i]
