Premise

An old school, good-hearted old man yakuza, Nagamasa Ryumatsu, is still hellbent on defending his turf when some young thugs ambush him and he ended up losing his life. He wakes up in a fantasy world in the body of a young princess, Sanaria Ryu Lundberg, retaining his back tattoo and strength. She takes the situation in stride, not bothering with any regal or ladylike behavior. Ryu might be out of place in this fantasy realm, but she may also be the only one who can save it by teaching this new world the meaning of yakuza honor.
