![]() ![]() Kuwabara is a lovable goofball who tries to mimic the tough guy antics of Yusuke while constantly revealing himself to be a huge softy with a heart bigger than his fake ego. The hilarious banter between Yusuke and his band of badass bros is the forefront of the series. Yu Yu Hakusho is extremely nostalgic and has a lot of appealing factors. While performing good deeds to save the living and the dead, Yusuke also finds the chance to put his supernaturally-enhanced martial arts abilities to use by fighting powerful paranormal foes from underworld societies. ![]() He’s soon wrapped up in a world of cutthroat demons, evil spirits and other dark beings that have a bone to pick with him. The spirit world is more complex than Yusuke realizes, however. He must prove himself that he’s worthy of being brought back to life by becoming a spirit detective, saving the lost souls of sorrowful ghosts one good deed at a time. When he’s killed after pushing a child out of the way of an oncoming car, he’s surprised to find from the afterlife that he has more people that love him than he ever realized after attending his own funeral as a ghost.Īgainst all odds, Yusuke makes a deal with the angel of death to turn his deviant behavior around in exchange for giving him another chance at life with his friends. He’s hated by almost everyone around him and he knows it. Yusuke Urameshi is a hardass teen delinquent that loves skipping classes, smoking cigarettes, disrespecting authority and throwing hands with the toughest gangs in the halls and on the streets. One of my big reading goals for the new year is to read a bunch of my childhood favorite manga for the first time in nearly 20 years to relive the nostalgia and see how they hold up. In this particular volume the last few battles left something to be desired. I’m just saying something’s working in the art. It’s still too similar to certain styles. The way Togashi’s hand draws in Yu Yu Hakusho is as uniquely identifiable as Toriyama in Dragon Ball. The varied speech bubbles do come across as refreshing. I wouldn’t say it adds to the overall experience. Just as we use different FONTS and modes for communicating it does make me wonder why, with the exception of onomatopoeia, we have grown uniform in the comics industry. Speech bubbles are bubbly, plain-old square, cloudy and more often than not non-existent. It might possibly be family of the characters. Pictures of characters we’re going to meet, haven’t met, or will never meet? There’s a panel dedicated to someone, and I think it’s just art drawn by Togashi. There’s a unique sprinkling of old school going on here. Wish that were still a contemporary thing. ![]()
