The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 9 (The Way of the Househusband, #9)

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!

Tatsu faces off against his toughest opponent yet—a cunning little girl who refuses to eat her vegetables! It’s going to take more than some quick sleight of hand to get one over on this smart cookie. Does the Immortal Dragon have what it takes to deliver the goods?

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 don't know how long a series like The Way of the Househusband can continue, but I can tell you that I will gleefully read every volume handed to me. The Way of the Househusband Vol. 9 continues in the same vein as the rest of the series, with Tatsu getting pulled into lots of quick stories and events.

As always, there's a little bit of something for everyone, thanks to the quick and varied nature of the stories. We have a picky eater, a beetle battle (you read that right), and even a horror story! (Well, sort of, you'll see!). It makes for a lot of fun and silliness.

The more I see some of the secondary characters, the more I love them. Will we ever get a spin-off series about Hibari Torii? That'd be pretty amazing (I swear I'm not just saying that because of her love of cats...).

Highlights:
Ex-Yakuza turned Househusband
Comical
