A delinquent’s gotta do what he’s gotta do…in the afterlife.

YuYu Hakusho, Vol. 1 introduces us to Yusuke Urameshi, a tough teen delinquent whose life is drastically altered by one selfless act that ends his life. After dying to save a little kid from a speeding car, the afterlife is uncertain how to handle him, ultimately granting him a second chance at life.

Now, Yusuke finds himself as a ghost on a mission, tasked with performing good deeds under the guidance of Botan, the spirit guide of the dead, and her boss Koenma, the pacifier-sucking overseer from the "other side." But what peculiar challenges await him in the mysterious realm between life and death?
