Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Vol. 3

Major Motoko Kusanagi and her fellow police officers of Section 9 continue to hunt down a host of criminals in both the real and online worlds. Convinced that the cyber-terrorist known only as “the Laughing Man” has resurfaced, Section 9 accelerates their inquiry to include eavesdropping on a chat room whose participants are not who they seem to be. They are also found investigating a facility for the treatment of children with 'cyberbrain closed shell syndrome' – a malady which renders the victim unable to cope with the cybernetic interface in their artificial brains. In the meantime, Kusanagi’s right-hand man, Batou, must confront a serial killer with connections to his own dark past.
