The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 3 (The Way of the Househusband, #3)

by Kousuke Oono

It’s a day in the life of your average househusband—if your average househusband is the legendary yakuza “the Immortal Dragon”!

A former yakuza legend leaves it all behind to become your everyday househusband. But it’s not easy to walk away from the gangster life, and what should be mundane household tasks are anything but!

The Immortal Dragon, once the fiercest member of the yakuza, is now a married man devoted to supporting his loving wife—as a househusband! But when the gangster-turned-homemaker needs to make some quick cash to buy her a present, he turns to the only skills he knows—and gets his first part-time job! The cozy yakuza comedy continues!

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:

The more I read this series, the more it grows on me – and that's saying something, given how much I liked The Way of the Househusband right off the bat. The Way of the Househusband Vol. 3 continues the slice-of-life style escapades, and man, can it get funny.

It's almost too hard to write about The Way of the Househusband Vol. 3 (and the series as a whole). Why? Because it is elegant in its simplicity. What I mean is, you pretty much get what you see – and it's a delight. As such, I can only say so much on the subject.

You'd think that, at some point, the novelty of this plot would wear off. While that may still holds, it hasn't happened yet! I still want to binge both TV series once I finish the manga.

Highlights:
Ex-Yakuza turned Househusband
