Description: Yu Yu Hakusho
Tokyo, modern day.
A boy named Yuske Urameshi is a ghetto-street junior high schooler who is flunking classes. The story picks up in the downtown area, suddenly, when he spots a kid standing in the street in the path of an oncoming car. Yusuke pushes the child out of the way, but loses his life in the process.
He goes to the spirit world, where the ruler has a body of a toddler, and his assistant is the somewhat beautiful Botan, who rides an oar like a witch rides a broom. From there, he makes many choices and crazy decisions that both help and hurt him.
Note: Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of Yu Yu Hakusho, is married to Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon.
