It hasn't ramped up to the full excitement of the story yet, but Togashi is really in his element with each of the brief chapters and brings a lot of heart to the narrative, and a bit more than the anime allowed viewers to experience. Overall I find the YYH manga disappointing at times due to its tendency to completely skip important battles and dialogue in exchange for some crummy narration. This is more obvious toward the end of the series and happens most of often to Hiei. That being said, the art is varying stunning and hilarious, and there are few better examples of character design (or ability design) I know of in manga. The early volumes in particular are very special and worth a look, even if you get burned out in the later ones where it seems like Togashi himself was burning out... Review: 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #71,365 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #700 in Fantasy Manga (Books) #771 in Shonen Manga (Books) #1,207 in Action & Adventure Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,039 Reviews | ## Images ![YuYu Hakusho, Vol. 1: Goodbye, Material World! - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TG8JXmZ9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is one of the best volumes in the whole series *by J***R on April 15, 2016* This is one of the best volumes in the whole series.

YuYu Hakusho is one of the manga standards, and with good reason. It's a shonen manga, meaning it's intended for males around 10-16; but with clever and humorous dialogue, touching character development, engaging plot and action sequences, and great artwork, YuYu Hakusho can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone who appreciates a few laughs curled with genuine emotion. A lot of my friends - guys and girls in their 20s - stand by YuYu Hakusho as one of the greatest mangas of all time, and I stand along with them. ## Frequently Bought Together - YuYu Hakusho, Vol. 1 - Yu Yu Hakusho, Vol. 2 - Yu Yu Hakusho, Vol. 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/11032930-yuyu-hakusho-vol-1-goodbye-material-world](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/11032930-yuyu-hakusho-vol-1-goodbye-material-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
