Do you know Yu Yu Hakusho? This manga published between 1990 and 1994, adapted into a 112-episode cult anime, is at the heart of a live-action series adaptation project by Netflix. After the success of One Piece, described as the best live-action adaptation of a manga, the platform is eagerly awaiting this new project. All the more so as the platform's previous manga adaptations - Death Note, Cowboy Bebop - have been critical and popular failures.
Yu Yu Hakusho is a manga by Yoshihiro Togashi, best known for Hunter X Hunter, and tells the story of Yûsuke Urameshi, a fourteen-year-old delinquent who dies saving a little boy from an accident. Unplanned by the authorities of the realm of the dead, his sacrifice poses a problem. That's why he's offered a chance to come back to life, after proving himself worthy. He then becomes a ghost detective who hunts down wandering spirits in the human world. A first visual has been unveiled by Netflix to introduce the main characters.
A science-fiction manga that enthralled teenagers in the 1990s. The adaptation is due for release on Netflix in late 2023. It's a Japanese series, not an American one, and produced by Kazutaka Sakamoto, also behind the Alice in Borderlands series, one of the platform's big live-action hits .
