About this ebook

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 beshest 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? -- VIZ Media

Ratings and reviews

I watched n hav been rly attached to da anime YYH since childhood n now jus wanna see wer it all came from. I think da anime is superior bc of da excellent eng dub n exceptional OST but Togashi is da man. He's rly gud at incorporating romance amidst all da fighting n dark themes, funny as well, n not a bad looker. No other shonen has rly done romance well n dats y I put dis #1 above one piece, naruto, fullmetal, jojo, even his own, HxH. I always get dat tingling sensation on Yusuke's last fight n I think it has da best ending. 112 ep feels jus right. adding might make it worse so let's leave it at dat. Watch da anime den read da manga n fall in luv wit YYH.

YuYu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter always put on a good show, the author has such an amazing imagination to create so many characters with compelling motivations.

Yu Yu Hakusho has a great story. Definitely worth watching and reading.
