The Way of the Househusband

Once feared on the streets as the unstoppable yakuza known as the Immortal Dragon, Tatsu vanishes from the underworld and resurfaces at home, tackling chores with the same intensity he once brought to a heist. He fights through laundry piles, grocery runs, and homebound chaos with a laser focus that proves violence is now replaced by vacuuming and organization. Beneath the calm exterior lies a veteran who clings to his old code even in a quiet neighborhood. His wife Miku navigates this odd life with affection and exasperation, while neighbors react to his unexpected habits. The humor comes from the collision of intense past with everyday domestic life. The setup promises more gags as the household conflicts pile up.

Produced for television in 2021 and adapted from Kousuke Oono's manga, the series blends sharp visual gags with deadpan humor, featuring Kenjiro Tsuda as Tatsu and guided by Susumu Yamakawa as a key creator.

This premise of a feared crime lord turned stay at home husband has sparked conversations about gender roles and daily labor in anime circles. The show's blend of rough nostalgia with quiet domesticity has become a recognizable talking point among fans, critics, and casual viewers who appreciate its offbeat premise.

Audience chatter and a solid rating of 8.375 out of 10 from 476 votes point to strong reception. The show blends yakuza grit with domestic life, using humor to explore identity and partnership while acknowledging that heroism can thrive in everyday chores and quiet moments for many viewers around us today.
