Yuyu Hakusho
The story of Yoshihiro Togashi (Hunter X Hunter) focuses on Yusuke Urameshi, a young man who dies in a traffic accident, after saving the life of a child. Since his time to die had not yet come, Yusuke cannot enter either heaven or hell. Therefore, he must remain on Earth, on the condition that he helps solve different cases associated with paranormal phenomena or demonic entities.
The manga was published in Shueisha from 1990 to 1994. In 1992, it received an anime adaptation that lasted until 1995. In addition, it has two movies and three OVAs. Although this story made Togashi’s name known, the mangaka became really famous with Hunter X-Hunter.
the new series live action of Yuyu Hakusho will come to Netflix in 2023. The project will be directed by Sho Tsukikawa (I wanna eat your pancreas) and Tatsuro Mishima will write the script from the original manga. If you haven’t watched the anime series yet, you can on Crunchyroll.
