(This is my first review so I'm just copying the format I always see so I might mess up)
A real hidden gem. Judging by the amount of people who have read this I can tell it's very underrated.

Story- 9
When you see the title you think "oh boy another isekai but this time a yakuza", and while that wouldn't be wrong there is a lot more to the story than just the gimmick. You see a hardened brawler in his late 60s suddenly in the body of a young princess surrounded by people who supposedly know her. Having to deal with people treating him like a ...

NT = Ninkyou Tensei

Story: 9

This is proof that an isekai can be well written without being a satire.

As soon as something gets the isekai tag these days, there are certain assumptions that one might make before reading a single page. Obviously, this story involves a character being transported from one world--our own--to another, and focuses on how that character's difference in outlook allows them to solve problems plaguing their new environment. Unlike the majority of isekai, however, NT uses this setup as an extra layer of flavor rather than a crutch. More importantly (to me at least), NT completely dumps all nonsense about "stats" or ...

Lightspeed pacing is the most striking quality of this series.
Fantasies are notorious for bad pacing, so it almost feels illegal how quickly the plot moves in Yakuza Reincarnation. What could easily be a mini-arc instead becomes a couple of chapters, and what would usually be a season-spanning arc lasts only several chapters.
It can be a little hard to follow the finer details of what's happening, but it's worth it to see something where the plot actually advances at a steady pace.

As for the protagonist Ryuu, she's certainly unique, and a great fit for such a fast-paced story.
Having lived a tumultuous 70 years, she doesn't care ...

It is just my opinion, but I genuinely think that this manga is like the Chainsaw Man of the isekai genre, with it's dark and violent setting and constant awesome fights. It almost never catches a break as the fights keep going on and on. Not really saying that this manga is on par with the entirety of csm.

The worldbuilding is also pretty good imo since the characters moves from one place to another very quickly, yet the story doesn't feel rushed at all.

though I'm sometimes confused by it's story, it's still enjoyable as far as the isekai genre goes. Overall, I enjoyed this manga ...

This is a case of a manga having good art and a bad story.

Premise: Intriguing like most Isekai mangas.

MC: aimless with no obvious goal. They are also privileged with an uninteresting backstory. She lived her life to the fullest as a strong Yakuza, then got a second life as an attractive and young royalty in a fantasy world. All of this makes it difficult to empathize with the MC and by extension difficult to engage with the story.

Characters: flat and their actions don't make sense within this story world.

Story: The pacing is off with very low stakes and no real danger. Some chapters read like ...

I've read 11 chapters at the point of this review.

So the premise has a lot of potential but it falls flat, there's no umph to it. The art is good, the characters are kinda okay but when it comes to how the author decides to use them in the story it just kinda fizzles out, there's nothing to really enjoy in it and it falls into the rating of meh.

It's kinda like the author is trying to go with having a raw gory world but the mc is stuck as a shounen mc that does in no way act like a yakuza or gangster would ...

Honestly the idea sound really cool and presentation shown in early couple of chapters of old a senior Yakuza Nagamasa Ryumatsu, in modern day world is too old to run a gang and face disrespect from younger gang. Missing his old day and shown flashback, you get some background idea and respect he earned from local town people before his death set up by petty rival gang, but until reincarnated into "TAKING" the body of young princess on verge of death of this new world, and NOT reincarnated from birth as i anticipated.

The problem i have with the manga so far is right at start ...
