Customer Reviews

Togashi outdoes himself.

Yoshihiro Togashi, Yuyu Hakusho: Eat or Be Eaten (ViZ, 1992) [note: this review contains a major spoiler for volume 10. If you're not that far along in the series, DO NOT READ.] Finally, the finals! Yusuke's crew and Team Toguro finally meet up again, and Eat or Be Eaten covers the first three matches (well, two and a half). With Team Toguro never having revealed their fifth member and Team Urameshi having lost Genkai, the first third or so of the book is devoted to the mystery of who each team's fifth member will be. Maybe I'm slow on the uptake, but I found both revelations to be a complete surprise. After that, it's back to the fighting, which comes thick and fast in the Yuyu Hakusho tradition. Togashi, though, is never without a couple of tricks up his sleeve, and manages to keep things not only fast-paced, but interesting as well. The Hiei/Bui battle may be the best we've seen in the series to date. This is a good one. ****
