Ryu may be getting on in his years, but the aging gangster is still hellbent on defending his turf when some young toughs ambush him and he wakes up in a fantasy world! Not only that, he's in the body of this world's princess! Is he the one that the ancient prophecy spoke of?

Preliminary (14/? eps)

(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 ...

Preliminary (19/? eps)

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 ... "levels". It does have a concept of magic that could be compared to a skill system, but the way it's written and presented is natural enough that it wouldn't feel out of place in any fantasy setting.

Evaluating this story on it's own is a bit tricky; more on that in my comments on the art. In the context of this specific work, however, it has a lot going for it. The individual arcs cover some cool ideas. The pacing is efficient, but not rushed. While there currently is only a couple loose threads that connect the different arcs together, given that this manga is only 19 chapters in that's to be expected.

Art: 10 at minimum
Miyashita Hiroki is flexing with this art.

First, a follow up from what I said in the story review. A lot of this story would not work at all if the art weren't this good. When a story covers an introduction, 2.5 complete arcs *and* some time on how characters get from one location to another in 19 chapters, generally it does so at the cost of any details not essential to the plot. NT mostly gets away with it because it can *show* those details without needing to spend any time discussing them. This is a fundamental part of what sets a manga/comics apart from a novel, but the art of NT really pushes this idea to another level.

The extent to which this art adds to the storytelling would already get it a 10 from me, but Hiroki doesn't stop there. The number one thing that blew me away while reading NT was, well... people/things getting blown away. Whether it's buildings being obliterated by falling demons or people literally getting their faces punched in, you can really feel the amount of passion and effort Hiroki put into capturing these incredibly violent, chaotic moments.

Characters: 7
The point of this manga definitely is more about Ryuu beating up bad guys and being a badass than trying to present super deep, emotionally relatable side characters. Some of the people they encounter along their travels do have real personality, but the characters in the main party other than Ryuu are pretty generic.

Enjoyment: 10
All the fun of a traditional action manga focused around a badass MC, but with more sophisticated ideas and exceptional artwork.

Overall: 10

Preliminary (38/? eps)

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 ...
