The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 6 (The Way of the Househusband)

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!

All of Tatsu’s hustling and networking since leaving the yakuza has earned him an offer he can’t refuse—an invitation to run with the women’s association, the movers and shakers of his neighborhood. But before he can be initiated, the Immortal Dragon must prove to the board’s heavyweights that he truly can hack it as a homemaker. It will be the greatest test of this househusband’s skills yet!

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:

I feel like I've said this before, but The Way of the Househusband Vol. 6 may be my favorite volume of the series (so far). It's funny, endearing, and gives us the tiniest glimpse into the past. So it's pretty perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Introducing Tatsu to a new group of Dragons (determined housewives whom you really don't want to tick off) was a smart and hilarious move. It gave him yet another reason to up his game, which, let's be honest, was already pretty impressive.

The second arc was probably the best, as far as I'm concerned. The tongue-in-cheek humor was on point, and overall, it just felt like the perfect example of the series. That said, I did enjoy everything else that followed.

Highlights:
Ex-Yakuza turned Househusband
Comical
Slice of Life
