Netflix announced on Wednesday that Yoshihiro Togashi's Yu Yu Hakusho manga will be getting a live-action series streaming on the platform simultaneously worldwide.
The manga follows 14-year old delinquent Yusuke Urameshi, who dies after saving a child in a car accident. The Spirit World is surprised by his death and offers him a chance to come back as a "spirit detective" who is tasked with defeating demons. The manga ran in Japan from 1990 to 1994 and was finally published in English in 2002. After a successful stint on TV, running from 1992 to 1995, plus two films and two OVAs, now we get to experience a live-action adaption that is HOPEFULLY going to knock it out of the park.
I won't lie. I don't have the highest of expectations for the series. As we know, Netflix doesn't really put out the best of the best when it comes to live-action anime and manga adaptions, but I'll still get excited about it. Here's to hoping nothing gets shafted and things actually work out this time!
