From http://www.manga.com/bloodthemovie/front.html
Blood: The Last Vampire takes place in the fall of 1966. The Vietnam War is underway and the U.S. military machine is being supplied out of the Yokota Air Force Base - a plot of U.S. land within Japan. Within the compound, the atmosphere is charged with violent intensity as F4 combat planes take off hastily one after the next.
Meanwhile, a series of suspicious suicides are reported in town. A team of top-secret undercover agents is dispatched to investigate. 
On the Ginza subway line — the last train heading toward Asakusa, a girl sits quietly in a dreary subway car.
Her name is Saya. With a piercing gaze that would force even an adult into submission and lips tightly drawn with determination, she is the savior sent by the ‘organization’ to vanquish the blood-sucking chiropterans that have concealed themselves among their human hosts. 
Clad in a Japanese school uniform, and wielding an ancient Samurai sword, Saya must infiltrate the American school within the Yokota military compound, uncover the source of the pestilence, and eliminate it.

It’s a time in the future — a time where the creation of life itself has evolved to include biodroids named after the ancient Greeks and cyborg warriors programmed to destroy. The power struggle between the various synthetic life-forms and the humans could mean the end of all life. But there is one, named Typhon, who may be able to prevent that. This collection is the first-ever-published work of the genius behind Ghost in the Shell — Masamune Shirow.

Appleseed - Masamune Shirow November 1, 2006

From http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=44-855
Functional simplicity, structural complexity: The best life for all. That’s the maxim of Olympus, the utopian city that sprung from the ashes of World War 3. But Deunan and Bri, a young woman and her cyborg companion just entering the rose-tinted society, find that so long as there are different kinds of people there will be differences among them. They discover this only after they’re thrown into the middle of those differences, and played as pawns by both sides.Masamune Shirow’s ability to create machinery and architecture which at once look both plausible yet impossible is only bested by his story-telling prowess. His tale of two unlikely companions, the human girl and the hulking cyborg, is captivating in its exploration of relationships and its unwillingness to forgo adventure and excitement. Appleseed is truly a manga masterwork!

Orion - Masamune Shirow November 1, 2006

Orion 1-6 (complete)
Masamune Shirow
Dark Horse

 

From http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/1073/orion.htm
Shirow: “Orion is a light-hearted manga: sort of comedy based on Japanese mythology seasoned with H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthuthu myths. It’s the story of Earths genesis (destruction?) triggered by sorcerers in super-ancient times who summon gods and use special nine-headed Naga rituals (this is obviously fiction and I beg forgiveness of any Christian or Hindu readers — all religions have their own creations myths, after all). I may have gone over board a bit with all the kanji double and triple meanings that I used but it is a rather conceptual story and I had a lot of fun drawing it. Perhaps as a result, Orion also has a slightly raw rhythm to it. Interestingly the target reader-ship turned out to be quite a bit different in the end than I had originally planned. I think of Orion as being in the same view as Black Magic, and sort of a counterpart to Appleseed.”

Black & White v1-3 (complete)
Taiyo Matsumoto

 

In Treasure Town, orphans Black and White rule the mean streets through violence and terror. These lost boys are direct opposites: Black being a streetwise punk who embodies everything wrong about the city, while White is a innocent dope, out of touch with the world around him. Together, they’re unstoppable as they take on petty thugs, religious fanatics and brutal yakuza. But when a corporation called “Kiddy Kastle” tries to tear down and rebuild Treasure Town to fit its own goals, the boys must save the soul of their beloved city, that is if they can save themselves from inner demons.
