The Way of the House Husband Series Vol 1-4 Collection 4 Books Set By Kousuke

The Way of the Househusband Vol 1:
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!

The Way of the Househusband Vol 2:
The legendary yakuza the Immortal Dragon has washed his hands of the gangster life for something far more dangerous—becoming a househusband! Cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, cooking... These days he's doing everything he can to succeed as man of the house, if it doesn’t kill him first! The cozy yakuza comedy continues!

The Way of the Househusband Vol 3:
The Immortal Dragon, once the fiercest member of the yakuza, is now a married man devoted to supporting his loving wife—as a househusband! But when the gangster-turned-homemaker needs to make some quick cash to buy her a present, he turns to the only skills he knows—and gets his first part-time job! The cozy yakuza comedy continues!

The Way of the Househusband Vol 4:
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.

A refreshing and funny concept for a manga. The ex yakuza leader, "The Immortal Dragon", becomes a dedicated housewife, bringing along his memories of being in a yakuza with him. His everyday activities become humorous and enjoyable to ready, as his past and present self come along together for the ride.

If you are looking for a cute, wholesome, and funny manga look no further! This was a great manga that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a chuckle. I also love that it tackles gender stereotypes and toxic masculinity in a subtle yet powerful way.

Ok I'm not even exaggerating this is one of the best mangas I've read thus far, I would definitely put it in my top 10 lmao. It's just so well written and fun. Tatsu is deviously hilarious and I love him and Miku so much. Such a good dynamic. I actually cry laughing while reading this series. It never relies on cheap jokes or trashy humor, it's just good natured fun. Reminds me a lot of what I like about Mob Psycho 100. Currently on Vol 6, can't wait to keep reading!

The way of the house husband is a very light hearted and comforting read. I come to this series when I need something comforting. It has great humor and good art, I only dock a star because there is a boring chapter here in there, but it doesn't effect my enjoyment. If you need something chill and funny to read, I would definitely recommend this series.

This was my first try with manga, and I thought the premise was interesting, but it just didn’t seem to go anywhere. I’ve only read volume 1 so maybe if I read further on it will develop into some sort of plot.
