The Way of the Househusband is a funky manga about a retired gangster who has chosen a much more peaceful lifestyle. Tatsu is a person who looks quite scary but has a heart of gold.
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.
Kousuke Onno, the creator of The Way of the Househusband manga, has shared a special illustration after the news of the anime adaptation was made public.
The animation of “The Way of the Househusband” has been decided! The role of Ryu is Kenjiro Tsuda! When it comes to anime … it’s incredible. Thank you, everyone.

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.
The staff for the anime includes:
| Position | Staff | Other Works |
| Director | Chiaki Kon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal: Season III |
| Series Script | Susumu Yamakawa | Back Street Girls: Gokudols |
The manga has also inspired a live-action drama, which is ongoing at the moment. It premiered in October 2020.
