Who knew that an ex-yakuza could be so accomplished in household chores? His finesse of work can put even veteran house-wives to shame.

From making cute bento to bubble tea from scratch, he does everything in a quirky (and sometimes scary) way.

Netflix has announced that The Way of the Househusband manga will be receiving an anime adaptation in 2021. The first visual for the upcoming anime has been shared by Netflix.

In the visual, Immortal Tatsu is holding up a cute bento which he has prepared. The bento is in stark contrast to Tatsu himself, who looks like a stereotypical yakuza member with the addition of an apron.

The illustration shows Tatsu holding a cooking turner with chibi Miku (Tatsu’s wife) and Masa (his underling) surrounding him. These three are the main characters of the series.

J. C. Staff is animating the series. Kenjiro Tsuda (Jegal Taek in The God Of Highschool, Ogata in The Golden Kamuy) will be voicing Tatsu. He also starred as Tatsu in the live-action adaptation.

About The Way of the Househusband

The Way of the Househusband is a comedy manga by Kousuke Onno. It was first serialized in February 2018 and is an ongoing manga.

Immortal Tatsu is a retired yakuza who has chosen the life of a househusband over that of a gangster. He spotlessly finishes all household chores to support his wife, Miku.

His appearance is in stark contrast to his love for cute bentos and dogs. His run-ins with other yakuza often turn out to be a hilarious situation.
