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.
