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
...
of his journey is how Nagamasa Ryumatsu just goes with flow and gain exposition of the world lore told by the princess two loyal guard followers; a old faithful knight and a dark elf mage when necessary onto new area they enter. With the original goal to return the princess to her kingdom (who suspect but continue to be oblivious of their princess change).
This world magic/level mechanic "Guiding skill tree" power course through the human vein determines their power level. The main character is unique to have TWO skill tree.
I think what the story/writing focus too much is the MC is an experience-wisdom old man with discipline/principle and tradition of Yakuza brute forcing his ways one or two punch into the every situation he doesn't like, not to point of kill (unless they're a demon/monster) and lectures onto others petty "badguys/thugs" telling them "right and wrong" somehow no repercussion or consequence to MC, and to be backed up by the "Guiding skill tree" powering his fist.
I guess I'm just expecting a story about a Yakuza who seems old fashion to not know anything about fantasy land or video game leveling terms (which it still does shown he doesn't get it) and would try to fight this world of magical land with sword/katana and get "Creative" in fights while trapped/reborn in girls body. (without the whole one punch everything idea)
I expected too much and met with disappointment in end i just drop the story.
