I actually read Hunter long before YYH. But I loved Togashi-sama's style so much that (when I ran out of Hunters to read) I decided to give YYH at try. Now they sit together at the top of my list of fave series of all time. ^-^ It's true that there are a lot of similarities (Kurama/Kurapika, Hiei/Killua, Leorio/Kuwabara, Gon/Yusuke (last of which is the least convincing), Chrollo/Teen Koenma (visually), etc.) but the two are still entirely different works. Togashi-sama couldn't repeat himself if he tried. I always find it amusing to mix the two together. It's awesome to think what would happen if the two gangs met up. My life would be complete if Togashi-sama did like a crossover oneshot. We should write a petition! Who's with me??
