I didn’t know I needed this manga until I chanced upon it. The Way of the Househusband is a laugh out loud funny manga about a former Yakuza legend adjusting to his new life as a dedicated house husband. The manga follows Tatsu as he tackles every day tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and shopping. He faces judgment from police and other gang members that run into him but doesn’t let things phase him.
The relationship between Tatsu and his wife Miku is also adorable. He is completely devoted to her and they make such a silly and sweet pair. There is no swoon worthy romance, just the every day antics of a married couple. Right at the start I was giggling and had to send this manga to my husband, we read the manga together and had a great time.
This manga was just great and I went searching for more right away. This is a great manga with commentary not just on the role of women as homemakers, but also how a former delinquent can reintegrate into regular society, it was just wholesome all around.
