Ichigo Kurosaki, a normal high school student except for the fact that he can see ghosts, meets Rukia Kuchiki, a Shinigami, and is transferred the power of the Shinigami, which leads him to take on the task of exterminating Hollows in Karakura Town as a substitute Shinigami... With the power of the Shinigami in his hands, Ichigo gets caught up in the commotion of the world of Shinigami (the Soul Society), and develops dramatically throughout fierce battles.
Yu Yu Hakusho is Bleach, but shorter and with less filler. Both series feature a student, juvenile delinquent who meets a female shinigami and ends up working with that shinigami (who decides to also go to his school often) to help spirits travel to to afterlife. The series then changes to a battle shounen and the protagonist teams up with his friends to fight monsters.
Showing any more similarity crosses into spoiler territory, but the main difference between the series is that YYH focuses more on developing the characters.
