Official Answer
The attacking monster immediately enters Tokyo when the monster in Tokyo yields.
This is supported by the following from page 5:
- "If no one is in Tokyo, your Monster takes control of Tokyo. Place it on the board."
- "You can only Yield when you lose from [attack dice] rolled by a Monster."
The rules describe that when a monster yields Tokyo (after being wounded by attack dice), the attacking monster immediately takes control of Tokyo and is placed on the board. There is no indication that the attacker waits until their next turn.
