Yusuke Urameshi

I would like to tell you about Urameshi Yusuke. He appears the comic by Keita Togashi, ”Yuyu Hakusyo”. He is not like the detectives I introduced before. He is called “a detective of the spiritual world”. His work is to repulse ghosts which rampage in the human world. He is a juvenile delinquent, but he is very kind and always attentive to his friends.
He fought a lot of enemies. He has a deadly skill. It is Reigun. When he does it, he consents spiritual power on his fore finger and shot it. Though he has a lot of skill, he usually repulsed enemies with the skill. Especially, I was so excited when he repulsed Toguro with it, who had tremendous muscle and was a famous enemy in the comic.
If you haven’t read this comic, I recommend it very strongly.
