The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 11 by Kousuke Oono

The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 11 (The Way of the Househusband, #11)

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 must help Masa move his operation to a new pad, and fast, after the cocky kid lands himself in trouble with the wrong enforcer—his landlady! There’s just one catch—the kid lacks the funds to make any big moves. Luckily for Masa, the Immortal Dragon has some househusband tricks up his sleeve to transform even the cheapest, shadiest apartment into a comfortable crib!

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 think Tatsu's adventures will ever end! Seriously, he keeps finding new ways to get up in other people's business. On the bright side, I got to read The Way of the Househusband Vol. 11, so I can hardly complain.

As always, The Way of the Househusband Vol. 11 is split into multiple vignettes or arcs. This is always refreshing. It's also nice when you don't enjoy a particular story – because you know something new is just around the corner.

That last comment is relevant because I just couldn't get into the first story of this volume. Thankfully, I enjoyed the rest. I love how this series finds ways to make the smallest moments so wholesome and funny. It's one of the many reasons I enjoy this series so much.

Highlights:
Ex-Yakuza turned Househusband
