Yuyu Hakusho, Vol. 7: Knife-Edge Death Match - Paperback

by Yoshihiro Togashi (Author)

A delinquent's gotta do what he's gotta do...in the afterlife.

Yusuke Urameshi was a tough teen delinquent until one selfless act changed his life...by ending it. When he died saving a little kid from a speeding car, the afterlife didn't know what to do with him, so it gave him a second chance at life. Now, Yusuke is a ghost with a mission, performing good deeds at the behest of Botan, the ferrywoman of the River Styx, and Koenma, the pacifier-sucking judge of the dead.

Engulfed in the Dark Tournament's sinister spirit of victory (more like survival), Team Urameshi's Hiei and Kurama dig deep into their arsenals to battle the vicious henchmen of Jolly Devil Six. It's Kurama vs. Loto and Hiei vs. Zeru, and the rules do include playing dirty. Meanwhile, Kuwabara experiences an enigmatic reverie about the members of Dr. Ichigaki's team, a group of martial arts students who enlisted in the tournament in exchange for a cure for their ailing master.

As a final treat, enjoy a bonus episode about the chance meeting of Hiei and Kurama a year or so before they encountered Yusuke. Discover the bond that enabled Hiei and Kurama annihilate a mighty demon.
