another setup volume but i felt better about this than previous ones. there are only two volumes left in the series (which i'll read tomorrow), and i'm worried at how quickly things will resolve. i was missing Keiko for the majority of the previous arc and i'm glad that Togashi has kept her in mind as someone truly essential to Yusuke's character. i think she's underdeveloped, sure, but i have nothing but respect and adoration for Keiko in how everyone in the series treats her. if YYH is lacking in anything it's a little but more romance. with all that said, the series as a whole, is iconic.

I think I'm going to dub this arc the "info dump" arc because I feel like that's all that happened this volume and I'm sure it's gonna continue. Something that I will bring up is that the artwork has suffered significantly in this and the last few volumes. It's still readable and some of the panels look good, but sometimes the details in characters or scenery aren't there and the panel is nearly blank. I feel like this part was rushed, which makes sense because this arc as a whole seems rushed, but frankly it would have been best if the series ended after the Black Chapter arc.
Enough bitching, let's move on, only two volumes left.

A demon, huh. I’ve been a little disappointed in the lack of Keiko scenes, like she’s not a vital character, or the fact that even with this reunion, it feels so uneven.

Yoshihiro Togashi, Yuyu Hakusho, vol. 17: Their Respective Decisions (ViZ, 1994)
Dire predictions abound as the team are separated. They think they're done with the demon plane once the portal is sealed, but it seems that's not the case; three demon princes have been holding a shaky truce for five hundred years, but a major event is about to shatter that truce. When half your team is composed of demon plane members, things are bound to get tough. This is mostly a setup issue, but left me salivating for 18. *** ½
