Sensei Hakusho

This may have been shared on Tumblr before, though I don't think it has in a while so I wanted to spread awareness of it!

One of Yoshihiro Togashi's assistants during the production of Yu Yu Hakusho wrote this manga about what it was like working with Togashi. It's charming, funny, and moving, and provides a lot of insights into Togashi that we wouldn't have access to otherwise. If you're a fan of his works and interested in learning more about him, I definitely recommend it!

Here are the links to read it:

Togashi Yoshihiro Chronicle (2022-2023)

This 8-volume edition was released bi-weekly (every two weeks) by Jump Remix to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Yoshihiro Togashi as a manga artist. It covers the four Togashi's series released in the Weekly Shounen Jump:

Ten de Shouwaru Cupid (selected chapters)

Yu Yu Hakusho ~ Dark Tournament Arc (chapters 52 to 112)

Level E (chapters 1 to 16)

Hunter x Hunter ~ Greed Island Arc (chapters 120 to 185)

According to JUMP REMIX, the idea is that you connect all eight volumes in chronological order, from Cupid (1989) to HxH (1998-2023). The little drawings of the characters on the covers were also designed to connect.

Togashi's Comment in LEVEL E

Well, hi! I bought the bunko edition of LEVEL E the other day, and it came with a comment from Togashi. I wanted to share it for anyone who may be interested.

My native language is Spanish, so the original version is not in English. I tried to find it in English but had no luck. However, I did my best to translate it. Just take into account that this is a translation of a translation.

Also, it's so weird that he was writing this on Killua's birthday.

English version:

You have in your hands the bunko edition of "LEVEL E." I am writing this on July 7, 2012. On Tanabata, my wish was "health and happiness for everybody." I wish for world peace. Um... world peace. But I don't have that peace. Lately, the font size in books has been getting smaller, and my eyesight is getting worse... By the way, I'm 44 years old and have two children. Oh, I've also started to get gray hair in my nose. Since I began drawing manga until the time I was publishing this, my works and my life have been intertwined. As if they have been synchronized. That’s why, when I reread this work, I have a strange feeling of discomfort, as if I were reading an old personal diary. Although, compared to my other works, this one doesn't make me feel so bad. It must be because I made it more or less to my liking. Just more or less, okay? I won't go into details. I feel like I’ve become grumpy over the years. Well, to put it better, less tolerant. More than anything, I find it hard to keep quiet about what I really think. What I'm getting at is that I got a bit grumpy recalling the time when I was drawing this manga. I know that writing this isn’t the best thing to do, so I’ll leave it here. After all, I'm an adult now. Yoshihiro Togashi

Spanish version:

Tienen en sus manos la edición bunko de "LEVEL E". Estoy escribiendo esto el 7 de julio de 2012. En el Tanabata, mi deseo fue "salud y felicidad para todos". Deseo la paz mundial. Hum… la paz mundial. Pero yo no tengo esa paz. Últimamente el tamaño de la letra de los libros es cada vez más chico y, además, mi vista está empeorando… Por cierto, tengo 44 años y dos hijos. Ah, también me empezaron a salir canas en la nariz. Desde que empecé a dibujar manga hasta la época en la que publicaba esto, mis obras y mi vida estuvieron entrelazadas. Como si hubiesen estado sincronizadas. Por eso, al releer esta obra, tengo una sensación de incomodidad rara, como si estuviera leyendo un viejo diario íntimo. Aunque, en comparación con otros de mis trabajos, este no me hace sentir tan mal. Debe ser porque lo hice más o menos a mi gusto. Solo más o menos, ¿eh? No voy a entrar en detalles. Siento que con los años me volví un gruñón. Bah, mejor dicho, menos tolerante. Más que nada, me cuesta callarme lo que de verdad pienso. A lo que quiero llegar es a que me puse un poco de mal humor al recordar la época en la que dibujaba este manga. Sé que escribir esto no es lo mejor, así que lo voy a dejar acá. Al fin y al cabo, ya soy un adulto. Yoshihiro Togashi
