Yu Yu Hakusho (Ghost Files) is a manga by Yoshihiro Togashi. The series was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from 1990 to 1994 with a total collection of 175 chapters and 19 tankobon volumes. Studio Pierrot produced an anime adaptation of the series that ran from 1992 to 1994 with 112 episodes. The series has multiple movies and OVAs. A live-action series by Netflix is also set to premiere in December 2023. The anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll, which describes the plot:
From cutting classes to brawling in the streets, Yusuke Urameshi is not your typical role model. In fact, this kid’s nothing more than a fourteen-year-old delinquent with a talent for trouble. But in a single selfless act Yusuke dies while saving another. For such noble sacrifice he is given a second chance at life, but it’s to be a life far different than the one left behind. Now a Spirit Detective, the young man must track down demons and humans alike who desire to rule over the three realms of reality.
