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 ... about how others treat her or feel uncomfortable about anything, not showing an ounce of youthful pride, embarrassment, or fear. All she wants is for the youngsters around her to be treated well, and that's usually when the fists come out.

But better than any review is to read it for yourself. The first arc is only 4 chapters, so you pretty much immediately get the full idea of what kind of a story this is and whether you like it or not; there's no waiting to see if it gets better or worse.

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 ... as much as I did with Chainsaw Man. (if that's even a fair comparison in the first place.)

good isekai manga i recommend reading

p.s I like the 40 pages format for each chapter as well.

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 ... a "monster of the week" chapter in a long running manga, when this is a very short and concise one.

Art: Amazing art, the mangaka is obviously very talented.

4/10 Only because of the art and premise.
