TOKYOPOP unveils its latest romantasy manga release: Reincarnated in a Mafia Dating Sim, Volume 1: A Yakuza Heiress Becomes the Top-Ranked Villain’s Romantic Target. Scheduled to hit shelves in both print and digital formats on August 12, the manga blends action, fantasy, and romance in a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers storyline. The title joins TOKYOPOP’s LoveLove imprint, which focuses on romantic manga for teen and adult audiences.
Based on the popular light novel series by acclaimed author Touko Amekawa (7th Time Loop), the manga is brought to life by artist Sora Goto, known for their work in romance, fantasy, and school-life genres.
The story follows a mafia heiress who, upon dying, is reincarnated as Francesca Calvino, the heroine of a mafia dating sim. In this alternate world where crime families serve the king, Francesca is determined to escape the violent legacy of organized crime. Her plan? Break off her engagement to Leonardo Aldini, the game’s infamous villain and her top-ranked suitor.
But things don’t go as planned. After surviving a kidnapping without the help of any romantic lead, Francesca proves more formidable than the game’s narrative expected. Leonardo, rather than stepping aside, becomes even more enamored—and refuses to leave her alone.
As Francesca fights to carve out a peaceful life, Leonardo’s persistent courtship threatens to upend everything. Can she rewrite her fate, or is she doomed to fall for the very villain she hoped to avoid?
With its clever subversion of otome game tropes, witty heroine, and swoon-worthy drama, Reincarnated in a Mafia Dating Sim promises to thrill fans of romantic fantasy and character-driven storytelling.
Don’t miss your chance to dive into this high-stakes mafia romance. Reincarnated in a Mafia Dating Sim, Volume 1 arrives August 12 wherever manga is sold. Pre-order your copy today and get ready to fall for the villain.
