Summary:

Once upon a time, a man named Tatsu was a fierce member of the Yakuza. He was known as the Immortal Dragon and infamous for everything he did – and survived. But that was years ago. Now he's a househusband and quite dedicated to the job.

Enter the househusband! He walked away from a life of danger and violence. Now he fights a new type of battle against dust and messes. All while mastering the art of cooking and shopping.

Review:

You never know how a funny premise will hold up between the first and second volumes. As far as The Way of the Househusband Vol. 2 is concerned – it's still perfection. This series is so delightful and hilarious in equal measure.

Thanks to that balance of slice-of-life storytelling style and humor, this volume had me cracking up. It's amazing, and I needed the dose of lightness/humor in my week. I can't wait to finish reading the series to binge the anime and live-action series.

As before, I loved the cat side story. I think this one was even funnier than the first, which is saying something.

Highlights:
Ex-Yakuza turned Househusband
Comical
Slice of Life
Adorable Cat side stories
