Yuyu Hakusho, Vol. 1
A**U
YuYu Hakusho vol.1
I love YuYu Hakusho. Growing up surrounded by Shonen anime akin to the likes of One piece, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures and Hunter x Hunter 1999, YuYu Hakusho alongside these famous series became a fan favourite amongst my friend group and family. I like to think that I don't review with rose tinted glasses of nostalgia, but with YuYu Hakusho I find it hard to critically review the Manga as its become such a cult classic to me. I remember crying for 3 hrs when the YuYu Hakusho's 5th episode aired on TV and I had to go to my extra classes, because I kept watching anime all day, I was 4 year old at that time.The vol.1 arrived in an excellent condition. No complaints

The OG classic manga, pioneer of shonen anime!!
This maybe a long review but be patient and enjoy!!YYH by manga genius Yoshihiro toganishi who is also Mangaka of another popular shonen Hunter x Hunter, YYH is his first manga which is a classic manga and anime from 1992, which pioneered shonen anime along with Dbz, It was released same time as dbz and gave a tough competition and run for its money!! Tbh I would consider YYH better than dbz in plot, storytelling and characters. Its the predecessor or I'd say daddy of popular shonens like naruto, bleach and one piece, so YYH is the classic OG that started it all, it's my favorite shonen and all time favourite, the relatable cast, adventurous plot, fun, twist and turns, I just love this anime and manga!!This may be very first review by indian.Its really rare as hell especially here in India and I had to check and track frequent for restock, failed 2 times to strike deal when in stock at right price, prices go sky high when it goes out of print, its republished stock recently is thirteenth print now, It took me one and half to 2 years for me to get my hands on, really happy I finally got this manga!!I'd recommend anyone to buy asap soon its going to be out of print againThank you for the seller bookswagon and also amazon!!

Wonderful side stories show the main character's development
This is a wonderful martial arts / adventure / occult fiction manga.I read some of these as a teenager, over ten years ago. I would go the the library in my small town, and try to find as much manga as I could from local libraries. Sometimes they wouldn't be in stock so I had to wait for weeks to get the manga I wanted.I didn't have money back then so I wasn't able to read much of this series, but as an adult, I'm glad I can catch up on my childhood.I bought the manga because there was a Yu Yu Hakusho anime produced in the 1990s, and the artstyle is too archaic for my liking. I prefer to read this manga instead.Yu Yu Hakusho is the story of a young man who gets hit by a car and dies (not a spoiler - it happens right at the beginning).This book contains the first eight chapters of Yu Yu Hakusho's story. Since he is dead, he is about to go to the afterlife. Along the way, you'll read stories about how he helps restless spirits move on from being stuck on this world.But Yu Yu Hakusho isn't a story about a man helping ghosts move on from this world. This is not filler content either. This book's "side stories" help develop the main character and his friends and family. Through these side stories, you get to see the main character grow as a person, from a troubled youth to someone who wants to help people. The stories are written wonderfully, and tug at your emotions.The only drawback, or something you might not like, is the main character has, as a lot of characters in manga do, is that he's a pervert. He flipped his female friend's skirt up more than once. This was written around 1991, when people weren't very sensitive to being respectful to women. The lack of respect for the boundaries of women is a problem that comes up in manga like Dragon Ball as well. I'd give this a PG-13 warning.If you're letting your children read this, it's important to teach them to be respectful to women, because being a pervert in real life is morally wrong, will get you fired, etc. In the 21st century having a main character be a pervert is not a redeeming quality.The rest of the books won't take place on Earth so you shouldn't have to read about the main character being a pervert in the rest of the series. The main character is dead, so he can't interact with living humans.Later on, this will be a martial arts series involving fighting. But for now, get this book. It's worth it.

Nice Beginning Story
I only know Yu Yu Hakusho from the Anime Series and have never look the Manga in a Understand able Way!So, I have look on the Manga now in Englisch!The First Band has only Story Typ Aktion and not, what Yu Yu Hakusho has do with the Fighters!But on the Good Way, the Manga has much Different and not Showing Story Element, that makes better as the Anime was.It is better Understand and better Story writing, so I can see, how this Story is about and its much Understandable!For the Xirst Band, its not so a Bad Drawing Style and on the next 3 Capter, its even Emproving the Drawing!For me, it was Nice to Read and for Fans its a Must Have!
