Special Bonus Reprint / Digest Edition of Young Magazine Pirate Edition 1989 No.8 Featuring “The Ghost in the Shell” on the Cover

As part of Young Magazine’s 45th anniversary celebration, a special “Revival Young Magazine” issue will be released.

 

This edition faithfully recreates Young Magazine 1990 Issue No.30, originally published as the magazine’s 10th anniversary issue, as closely as possible. In addition, it comes with two special bonuses:
a digest reprint of Young Magazine Pirate Edition 1989 No.8, featuring a cover illustration of Motoko Kusanagi from The Ghost in the Shell drawn by Shirow Masamune, and a clear file using the original 10th anniversary cover artwork.
