Togashi Yoshihiro and co.: Yoshirin de pon! (Yu Yu Hakusho dojinshi)
Found a pretty low-quality digital version, but all the pages were included so I'm happy. I mean, I've been wanting to read this for years and it goes for something like 30000 yen.This is a (in)famous YYH dojin Togashi made and gave out for free at the 1994 Summer Comiket. It contains some random drawings by him and his friends, short weird comics with the YYH cast, an interview, and an essay. I had read the interview and the essay elsewhere before, so I was mostly interested in the comics.
12-nin no obieru mono-tachi (12 Frightened People) has the cast of YYH (with complete opposite personalities from their roles) staying at a hotel, where something frightening is supposed to happen. I say supposed to happen because this piece is only three pages long and ends with "They did not yet know what frightful tragedy would unfold ... The End". Ahahaha. Kuwabara's actor is actually super-smart and wears glasses, and looks exactly like Kaidô-kun. Koenma (adult version) is yummy.
There is also a one-page preview (fake) of a manga called Gkuen kiki ippatsu, where Kurama and Hiri are girls (Hiei is tied up and crying and Kurama is wearing a pretty skimpy outfit), with leading-up-to-100% Toguro in the background wearing a girl's sailor uniform (!) going, "I'm, like, Toguro Misaki. I'm an ordinary high school student!" Yeeeeeeah ... right.
I really do adore Togashi's art from this period (YYH volume 19 is a treat in my eyes), so it was nice to get to see some of it again. Over-all this book is fairly anti-YYH, but not ill-spirited. I might actually pay 30000 yen for it if I find it somewhere, which is a frightening testament to my Togashi Yoshihiro obsession. Meep.
