Hatsune Miku has been the one to fulfill our modern-day visions of the cyberpunk future—whose most famous writer, William Gibson, wrote in his 1996 novel Idoru of a virtual idol with an online fan community, each experiencing her musical performance in their own way, according to their own tastes. But what about what fellow cyberpunk pioneer Bruce Sterling would call "a good old-fashioned future"—that is, science fiction that envisioned not so much a networked Earth, but humans venturing forth to form an even more astounding network—an interstellar civilization?

Out this week is our second manga by Satoshi Kon: Seraphim 266613336 Wings. This book is doubly special because it is a collaboration between Kon and Ghost in the Shell’s Mamoru Oshii; I can’t think of a comparative example where two such talented film directors worked together on a manga.

Seraphim is the co-creation not only of Satoshi Kon but of Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii, and I can’t think of another case where two such talented anime directors collaborated on a manga. Seraphim contains two afterwords, one by the original Japanese editor of the manga, and one by the editor of the Dark Horse version, that explain the unique history behind Seraphim.
