Yuyu Hakusho, Vol. 1: Written by Yoshihiro Togashi, 2003 Edition, Publisher: Viz Media [Paperback] Paperback – 16 Aug. 2003

I am happy with my purchase.

This is one of my favorite manga, the art is great and the story just grabs you in, is a must have :D Also the service on amazon was great, fast delivery.

I enjoyed reading this manga, it was very well written and the artwork is topnotch. It also leaves you wanting more.

WARNING: This manga has been produced in the traditional Japanese format, and so the whole book reads from right to left, including the panels. This can be a little confusing at first, but you'll just adjust pretty quickly. Yusuke Urameshi is an obnoxious punk who spends his time drinking, gambling, bunking off school, and above all, fighting. So when he dives in front of a car to save a little boy, he surprises even the gods. As a result, there is no place for him in heaven or hell. He is given a second chance, and will be resurrected when it has been determined whether his soul is good or evil. And so Yusuke, with friendly spirit guide Botan, sets off to complete a series of good deeds to prove himself worthy of returning to his body. This is the first manga I've bought. It was recommended to me by some friends in the USA who had seen the anime on TV. Sadly Yu Yu Hakusho hasn't aired over here yet, so I bought this book instead. It was definitely worth it. This manga is hilarious and has plenty of romance, but if you're more of an action fan don't be discouraged: Yusuke kicks ass from beginning to end! So I'd urge anyone to buy. There's something in here to interest everyone, and this is one the best prices you'll find it at.

This, along with No Need For Tenchi, is a brilliant manga. A well known anime and manga in the US, YuYu Hakusho (translated as Ghost Report, or Ghost Files) is a story about Yusuke Urameshi, a 14 year old delinquent. He smokes, he gambles, he's violent, but one day he's killed when saving a little kid from a speeding car. Now Yusuke is givin a chance at life again from Koenma, who decides if souls go to Heaven or Hell. Accompanied by Botan, the cheerful Underworld Messenger and Guide to the Spirit World, and his soul-less, living body being looked after by his mother Atsuko and his best friend Keiko, he is performing good deeds so that he may have a chance at life again.This manga has several touching and hilarious stories in which Yusuke helps the spirits of people and animals alike, and the art is great too. If you like anime and manga, I would definately give this a look.
