Preliminary (1/? chp)

Not sure why this story doesn't have the Gender Bender tag. Because it is an MTF story.

First, Chapter is the only thing out and it's interesting.

The story has a weird way of introducing characters. The chapter acts for the most part like we the audience are in chapter 20 and are already acquainted with all the characters. It does not tell the end we finally get the introduction of everyone and their roles plus what the story is about.

I personally would've liked it more if it just started with the MC's perspective straight from the start before he reincarnated.

I kind of wish the MC ...

Preliminary (54/? chp)

This is a comedy manga with a smidgen of mystery and even less romance in it. So, what actually happens in this manga? Essentially everyone are very, and I mean VERY, gay towards our eponymous "Strongest Black Knight" who died 15 years or so ago, who now as Maria just awkwardly observes how much his (now her) former comrades truly loved him.
We see their antics as they go crazy seeing visage of the late knight in this 15 y.o. combat maid, making her fill (as far as they're concerned) his shoes by endlessly getting Maria to do whatever it was Albright did, as ridiculous ... as that sounds this practically sets the tone for the story and comedy; despite all the action, mystery/underground crime thriller, and even Maria's PTSD, the story doesn't stray much from being silly and for the most part something you can't take seriously.

And for the genderbender comedy fans, surprisingly this manga is quite lacking in that department. Maria never really ponder or reflect upon her absurd situation and readily accepts that she is a girl now, spending the little time she had with her new parents happily being raised like any other girl. Everyone may tease how "manly" she is and keeps treating her as "one of the boys" but she appropriately gets upset and annoyed whenever her "girl power" (femininity, so to speak) is being questioned, especially in the chest sector. The one character who is aware that Maria is Albright reincarnated for the longest time, doesn't care about this change either despite it's massive comedic and dramatic potential which is quite disappointing.

The characters aren't very deep and due to how many there are fighting for screen time, they don't get many chance to be fleshed out either, the only characters we really get to know is Maria and Lloyd who is the character most obsessed with Albright and for all intents and purposes, is the "male lead" of this manga if you were to pick one; unfortunately, he is insane and (at least for me personally) quite unlikable, so the only intrigue and tension you got out of him is wondering what'll happen once he realizes that Maria is indeed Albright.

Okay so that's the story, how about the plot then? The plot revolves around the mystery of Albright's death and the conspiracy surrounding it, this isn't executed badly but considering the kind of story we're dealing with, it's serviceable. The conflict of the plot is how Maria now have a life of her own as a servant of a "shadow house" whose residents she consider as precious family, but she can't fully move on until she reconciliate her past as Albright and decides (although forced to at first) to get involved in the investigation; unfortunately it's not as compelling as it could and should be, because the story is still all about the funnies her friends commits and the plot gets sidelined all the time to facilitates the hit and miss comedic moments.

Contrary to how much this manga prioritizes it's comedy and slice of life aspects, it isn't suited for the usual "turn your brain off" style of reading because once in a while it will call back to plot relevant point that you had to pay attention to, lest you'll be left confused about what is going on. I shall leave it to you to decide whether that's a plus or a detriment.
It may seem like I've been really harsh on this manga but nevertheless, there is enjoyment to be had underneath all the rough edges; try reading a few chapters and continue if you like Maria enough and is at least somewhat interested in the mystery plot or even if you like the comedy, feel free to drop if none of these applies to you.
