Brain Drain is the tenth installment of Masamune Shirow's original Ghost in the Shell manga, positioned near the close of the volume between Bye Bye Clay and the final chapter, Ghost Coast.
Brain Drain stands as the tenth chapter within Masamune Shirow's original Ghost in the Shell manga. It belongs to the back half of the single collected volume, arriving late in the run as the series moves toward its conclusion. Surviving reference material treats this entry only as a stub, so no detailed account of its story is documented here.
Within the chapter order, Brain Drain follows the ninth chapter, Bye Bye Clay, and leads directly into the eleventh and final chapter, Ghost Coast. This placement puts it among the closing beats of Shirow's narrative, though the specific plot developments of the chapter are not recorded in the available source.
