Oh wow really?, I just assumed that she was from SAC due to that version wearing clothing a little more akin to that then the Movie versions - That being said though I can't read Japanese for thelife of me and haven't had the opportunity to read the Mangas yet.

Cheers for the link too dude; she was only $20 (Half price bin!?! ) but only came blistered solo on her card, of which was labelled... "Preview Exclusive".
All I know is that I've been a big fan of GITS since first seeing the film back in the mid 90s and have just finished watching SAC in it's entirety so when I saw her there on Sunday I just had to have her - I'm a big fan of the Majors'.
+1 for Classics Barricade.

I'm a sucker for the Major too, GitS is part of why I studied Philosophy in the uni days. Must post pics of the Good Smile Tachikoma sometime.
Anyways, you can get an English translation of the manga, no time to search for a link sorry. Totally worth a read though a lot more lighthearted than the movie/series - not quite up there with the Akira manga but still awesome and with a few observations on Shirow's take on mecha/cyborgs.
