Reviews

"This book is the perfect start to a great series! It's the kind that can make you laugh and cry in just the first two chapters. For those who have only seen the anime, you have to read the manga!...... " - K. Taylor

"I fell in love with the anime and now that I've read the manga. It's more amazing than the anime both edited and unedited......." - Jessica Warner

"This volume right here came out of nowhere, not just in how cool the story was, but because the damn thing made me cry twice. TWICE, in the same book!......" - Armando N. Roman

Synopsis

Yusuke Urameshi was a tough teen delinquent until one selfless act changed his life...by ending it.

When he died saving a little kid from a speeding car, the afterlife didn't know what to do with him, so it gave him a second chance at life.

Now, Yusuke is a ghost with a mission, performing good deeds at the behest of Botan, the spirit guide of the dead, and Koenma, her pacifier-sucking boss from the "other side."

But what strange things await him on the borderline between life and death?

About This Series

YuYu Hakusho (Japanese: 幽☆遊☆白書 Hepburn: YūYū Hakusho?, lit. "Ghost Files" or "Poltergeist Report") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi. The name of the series is spelled YuYu Hakusho in the Viz Media manga and Yu Yu Hakusho in other English distributions of the franchise. The series tells the story of Yusuke Urameshi, a teenage delinquent who is struck and killed by a car while attempting to save a child's life. After a number of tests presented to him by Koenma, the son of the ruler of the afterlife Underworld, Yusuke is revived and appointed the title of "Underworld Detective", with which he must investigate various cases involving demons and apparitions in the human world. The manga becomes more focused on martial arts battles and tournaments as it progresses. Togashi began creating Yu Yu Hakusho around November 1990, basing the series on his interests in the occult and horror films and an influence of Buddhist mythology.
