Yu Yu Hakusho remains a solid read though this volume begins to veer more into the battle action shonen it was known as.

With three artifacts stolen emerge 3 demons. The ones you probably know the most Hiei and Kurama (My personal favorite character of the series). Yusuke is given the mission by Koenma to stop the 3 demons and get back each artifact. The first demon is a easy dispatched loser who gets his despite being a soul sucking piece of shit. Then we get to the two better stories, Kurama and Hiei. Kurama story is actually pretty touching and builds the character up right away. Hiei's story is more vicious but fun and shows what and who he is. Then we finally get to meet the great Genkai who will soon become a key figure is Yusuke's life.

Overall, it's a solid volume. Kurama and Genkai being the highlights. The rest is standard world building and while fun I was a bit bored. I know we're getting to the good stuff real soon but this volume didn't blow me away despite still being a solid read. A 3 out of 5.
