The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 4 by Kousuke Oono

The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 4 (The Way of the Househusband, #4)

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!

On what begins as just another shopping trip, Tatsu has a run-in with a thief—of the feline persuasion! When the gangster-turned-homemaker gives chase, yakuza are quickly drawn into the fray, and chaos erupts in the streets of the shopping district. Even everyday errands can turn treacherous when you’re the Immortal Dragon!

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:

Tatsu may have traded his life as a Yakuza away in favor of becoming a househusband, but it's clear that his life is never dull! The man certainly finds new and unique ways of keeping himself busy, as evidenced in The Way of the Househusband Vol. 4.

Once again, this series is a riot. Tatsu is hilarious, as are his adventures (misadventures?). This volume has several adventures in store for Tatsu, though I must say that the first one is my favorite (hint: it involves a thieving cat).

Each new volume of this series finds a different way to make me laugh. That's true for The Way of the Househusband Vol. 4; his wife made me crack up in this volume. One story in particular makes you realize how he fell for her. It's perfect!
