Synopsis

"Immortal Tatsu," the legendary yakuza who single-handedly defeated a rival gang with a lead pipe, is a name known to strike fear in both hardened police officers and vicious criminals. Soon after his sudden disappearance, he resurfaces with a slight change in profession. Now equipped with an apron, Tatsu has given up violence and is trying to make an honest living as a house husband.

While adapting to mundane household tasks, Tatsu finds that being a house husband has its own challenges, from the battlefield known as supermarket sales to failures in the kitchen. Despite living peacefully, misunderstandings seem to follow him left and right. Gokushufudou follows the daily life of the comically serious ex-yakuza as he leaves behind his dangerous previous life to become a stay-at-home husband.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

Preliminary (1/? eps)
Manga needn't always take itself seriously or have convoluted plotlines with time travelling shenanigans or endless drama at every turn, sometimes all a manga needs to do is be a slice of life about an ex-yakuza who's living his best life! I first picked up Gokushufudou or Way of the Househusband as an experiment, as the cover was enticing and the allure of the aesthetic of the titular character Tatsu was too great for me to resist. What i found however was perhaps one of the only mangas, nay BOOKS that I have truly 'laughed out loud' at. The characters are charming, the adventures are ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (103/? eps)
I'll start my review with a controversial thought regarding the rest of the readers, which is: the work has become tedious and repetitive.

I started reading the work with good spirits because the work was of a genre and style that I wasn't used to reading, and that's why I really liked its pace at the beginning. The presentation of the characters also surprised me.

The cast in general is very good and has a good range of characters.

The jokes often made me laugh out loud, especially because Tatsu is quite crazy about the things he likes or that Miku likes.

Now talking about the beginning of the ...

Preliminary (126/? eps)
This story is really funny at first because it's a comedy, but things don't hold up later on since the point gets really repetitive. The punchline is always centered around an ex-yakuza trying to do typical household stuff, which can get boring quickly. That means it's hard to laugh or smile or even want to re-read the story since it's not worth it anymore. It's more like a "joke of the week" format of consuming the story, and isn't really worth getting the tanobons. Just read it digitally, so you don't have to commit to buying it. I got 14 volumes, but didn't really like ...
