However, a few weeks ago, we learned that the father of Yu Yu Hakusho had gotten ahead of the manga with about ten chapters written, drawn and inked.. Despite his health problems, Togashi-sama continues to offer chapters that are eagerly awaited by fans. While we obviously want to thank him warmly for this, we hope that he will take care of himself.
