Set in the 21st century, Ghost in the Shell is superficially a futuristic spy thriller, dealing with the exploits of Motoko Kusanagi, a major in the covert operations organization "Section 9," which specializes in fighting technology-related crime. Kusanagi herself is almost completely mechanized, a human brain in an artificial body, capable of superhuman feats, and specialized for her job. The setting of Ghost in the Shell is distinctively cyberpunk, similar to that of William Gibson's sprawl trilogy, though Shirow's work is more focused on the ethical and philosophical ramifications of the widespread merging of humanity and technology, the development of artificial intelligence, and an omnipresent computer network, in particular related to human identity and uniqueness. The manga, in particular, tackles these questions head on, as Kusanagi and her colleagues face both external threats and puzzles, and internal conflict over their own nature, being more machines than humans.

Shanelle's are kind gernerous gorgeous girls. Every Guy wants to be with her and even know everyone falls for her she only wants one person usually she likes a guy with short brown hair and usually he's shorter than her. She likes loyal funny kind guys, ones that will text her Good Morning and Good Night and ask about her problems, She likes to vent and she wants a Boyfriend who can listen. She's not a player and wants a long relationship she probably is in a relationship right now, and with the guy of her dreams that she has liked for 6 years. She doesn't take crap for anyone and she will defend herself no matter what. She knows some moves and can beat anyone up if they deserve it. Long stories short Shanelle's are awesome
