YuYu Hakusho Volume 15 ~ review

Continuing on with my review for YuYu Hakusho manga series, here is the review for Volume 15. This review will contain spoilers, so if somehow you haven't read the manga and would not like your story spoiled, please leave this post now.

For Volume 15, the story continues with the former detective of the Underworld, Sensui, getting closer to open the hole that connects the human world with the demon world. He and his team have also kidnaps Kuwabara, who has the ability to use an aura sword that can cut through dimensions, an ability that Sensui surely needs to complete his mission. Along the way to rescue Kuwabara and stop Sensui from opening the hole, Yuusuke and his friends have to fight Sensui's followers'; Makihara (code name: Gobbler), Kaname Hagiri (Sniper) and Amanuma (Game Master). One of them however, Kiyoshi Mitarai (Seaman) decided to join team Yuusuke and help show them the way to the hole site (where Itsuki the Gate Keeper is performing a ritual to open the hole). With time running out, could Yuusuke, Kurama, Hiei and the others stop Sensui before it is too late?

This volume definitely has a lot of great moments; Kuwabara kidnapping, Yuusuke's fight with Hagiri, Amanuma sad ending, and Kurama's fight with Elder Toguro, who by the way made a special appearance in the final chapter of this volume. I am personally in love with scenes where Yuusuke and his friends have to fight against Amanuma. The scenes have a different vibe or rather a sad tone compared to the other fights which are more fast-paced and action-packed. There are some gory drawings too in the last chapter in the manga (the one involving Elder Toguro) but since the story involves demons, I guess it's kind of normal. But for those who are concerned, then you better keep this volume away from your minors. This volume, although slightly more serious compared to the previous volumes, still has jokes here and there (usually in regards to Yuusuke) which I think in line with what YuYu Hakusho is quite popularly known for; its humorous jokes. Overall, I personally think this is one of the best volumes in the series so far when it comes to the story.

What will happen next? Stay tune for my review of Volume 16 coming soon. Thank you for reading.
