Anime Digest

Japanese manga author Kousuke Oono created the series titled The Way of the Househusband (Japanese: Hepburn: Gokushufud). In April 2021, a J.C. Staff-produced anime series that is a part of the Netflix Original Net Animation (ONA) catalog debuted.

To support Miku, his kyariauman wife, Tatsu, a notorious and dreaded yakuza leader known as “the Immortal Dragon,” gives up crime and settles down to be a homemaker. The comic situations in the series generally include Tatsu’s mundane housekeeping duties in contrast with his threatening demeanor and look. There is also his regular run-ins with ex-yakuza allies and opponents.

The Feel Good Part

The voice acting, soundtrack, and direction make up for the show’s scant animation and less-than-detailed images. They enhance the hilarious storyline and distinctive atmosphere that Kosuke Ono so skillfully created.

The Disappointing Part

There isn’t much animation in this program.

In-Depth Analysis

In the comedy, The Way of the Househusband, Tatsu, a former yakuza leader, and his wife Miku are the main characters. We get to know Tatsu as he adjusts to his new life as a stay-at-home spouse to support Miku while she pursues her job as a designer through a succession of vignettes (several each episode). Tatsu is undoubtedly powerful and frightening, yet he also has a kind heart and loves his wife. Even though he used to be a massive, brutal criminal, he left his previous gang to make sure she had a clean home and meals waiting for her every day. This compassionate act demonstrates the sort of man he is.

Star Power

Kenjiro Tsuda, a Japanese voice actor, provides the series’ protagonist’s voice; Jonah Scott provides the English voice-over. Shizuka It provided Miku’s voice, and the character is a career-focused designer with a good work ethic. Masa, played by Kazuyuki Okitsu, and Torajir, sung by Yoshimasa Hosoya, are two more well-known characters. J.C. Staff is in charge of the production, Chiaki Kon is in order of the direction, and Susumu Yamakawa is in order of the screenplays. As Tatsu from the manga promotional videos, Kenjiro Tsuda returned.

Overall Opinion

It’s entertaining since the plot is hilarious and told in a series of little “shorts.” The unexpected yet endearing instances that were emphasized made people laugh, mainly because they are typical struggles that househusbands/wives could have. Additionally, because it’s brief, it’s fun viewing that anybody may enjoy at the end of a particularly long or exhausting day.
