  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week, have another bonus episode of our patreon series Radio Manga (in which Matt and Sibyl alternate deep-dives on single works with shotgun spreads of what each has been reading), but this time with a guest! &lt;a href="https://cohost.org/My-Name-is-Grant" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Grant&lt;/a&gt; (of various podcasts across the years) joins the crew to take a look at Masamune Shirow's &lt;em&gt;The Ghost in the Shell&lt;/em&gt; manga, a brief look at his career's English reflection, and a slightly horrified trip down the rabbit-hole of his modern output. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Grant showed up because he's part of a &lt;a href="https://www.lydiadisappears.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;new project&lt;/a&gt; their team is trying to launch, and a fresh &lt;a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/foxbot/the-disappearances-of-lydia-fountayne" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Kickstarter&lt;/a&gt; launching alongside this special episode. Give it a listen and a look if you want to hear a shady uncle go after what they deserve in a cyberpunk landscape... or other actors. There are other actors too.&lt;/p&gt;
