The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 3 (3)

Dive into the hilariously chaotic world of domesticity with *The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 3*, the next installment in Kousuke Oono's critically acclaimed manga series. Forget stereotypical gangster tales; this is a side-splitting comedy about Tatsu, formerly known as "The Immortal Dragon," a legendary yakuza boss who has traded his katana for an apron and dedicated himself to being the ultimate househusband. Volume 3 continues Tatsu's journey of adapting to civilian life, where everyday tasks like grocery shopping and cooking become epic battles against his ingrained yakuza instincts. Prepare for laugh-out-loud moments as Tatsu's past constantly collides with his present, turning mundane chores into absurd situations. He might be retired from the underworld, but the underworld isn't quite done with him! This volume explores new facets of Tatsu's commitment to his wife, Miku, and his unwavering (and often misguided) dedication to being the perfect partner. When Miku's birthday rolls around, Tatsu's desperate attempt to earn some quick cash leads him to a part-time job. This situation inevitably forces him to rely on his unique "skills" acquired during his yakuza days, with unbelievably funny results that will leave you in stitches. Oono masterfully blends the stark contrast between Tatsu's fearsome reputation and his current, domesticated lifestyle. The humor arises from the juxtaposition of his past as a notorious gangster with the mundane activities of a househusband. Expect the same deadpan delivery, hilarious misunderstandings, and surprisingly heartwarming moments that have made *The Way of the Househusband* a global sensation. Beyond the comedy, the series subtly explores themes of commitment, adaptation, and the search for purpose in unexpected places. Tatsu's dedication to Miku and his earnest attempts to create a happy home offer a touching counterpoint to the absurdity of his situations. The artwork is dynamic and expressive, perfectly capturing the characters' larger-than-life personalities and the over-the-top humor. This illustrated paperback edition from VIZ Media LLC, published in 2020, is a must-have for fans of comedy manga, yakuza stories with a twist, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh. Whether you're already a devotee of *The Way of the Househusband* or a newcomer looking for a fresh and hilarious read, Volume 3 promises an unforgettable experience. Get ready to witness the ultimate clash of cultures as the Immortal Dragon continues his quest to master the way of the househusband!
