So do you wanna' read a good comic about a badass main hero who also unique and funny?
Then this is your manga! meet Immortal Tatsu the ex-yakuza who will make you laugh.

Long story short this is a really fuuny story about an ex-yakuza whose livin' his everyday live now as a full time husband in his unique way.

As far as I see every chapter is a little story ( you know 1 chapter=1 episode kinda way )

You will enjoy it. Guaranteed.

A “House Husband” who was an “Immortal Yakuza” (Gangster)/ Comedy/ Slice of life

DO YOU actually believe being in abandoned factory or dark alleyways/ basements are SAFER than staying in normal houses or markets?
DO YOU still believe mafia and your nemesis are SCARIER than your wife or girlfriend?
DO READ this manga, it will change your mind :P


Story : 10
The style, シリアスな笑い (嚴肅搞笑/ serious comedy), of the story is amazing. Using the element, prejudice (as we expect Yakuza to act in a certain way), the story unintentionally makes us laugh even though it seems "ordinary".

Since it doesn’t really have strict story line, similar to that ...

This series started off great. The premise is very funny, and was able to sustain itself for a few chapters, but it became very bland very quickly. I suppose there's only so much you can do with the premise of "manly man takes on a traditionally feminine role" before it goes stale. I think this would've worked better as a single volume, or as part of a larger series of vingettes.

That said, the art is very solid throughout, at least what I've read. It's not spectacular or particularly unique, but it is very competently done. The character designs are interesting, and I want to eat ...

Only 5 Chapters out right now, so these are just some thoughts and to get more people to read it.
I don't like giving it an absolute overall rating yet but MAL demands it so there ya go. Let's call it the "first impression rating".

If you are a fan of stone cold comedic delivery, this is for you. The chapters are short but fresh, episodic but with a red string somewhere in there. We will have to see if they focus on comedy or story. Maybe they can actually manage both but we'll have to wait and see.

It has been some time since reading a manga ...

This manga is only 6 chapters long at the moment, so I can't say too much about it really but lemme try and write something up for it.

This is a gag manga of sorts about a Yakuza turned house husband and the shenanigans he gets into daily thanks to how he carries himself as an ex-Yakuza as well as his past coming up once or twice so far and causing some misunderstandings.

I like this manga, it's funny and I always enjoy manga about Yakuza or delinquents etc. so I had to pick this up and give it a read, so far I really ...

It starts as an absolute blast, but quickly begins to lose steam, and past chapter 20 or so just keeps slowly trudging along, while producing an occasional chuckle.

Characters are mostly used as as source of gags (meaning don't expect development here), but the art is quite good, and a lot of jokes revolve around drawing ganster or people with menacing/serious expressions. Speaking of art, there are no chibis and stereotypical manga/anime characters with triangular faces, characters are realistic (as far as manga goes), and with detailed background.

The main issue is the manga losing its steam, as you can only push the premise so far ...

It wasn't bad for the first couple chapters. It has some really funny ideas and I liked the mangakas creativeness when creating the world of the story. Unfortunately, the gimmick of "people are scared of the MC" falls off super quickly. I read the first 58 chapters hoping there might be some story added. Unfortunately, there was only one arc that lasted for more than one chapter, and even so, it was 2 chapters long.

If you don't care about an overarching story, it's great. But the story feels like a comic strip more than a manga. Characters will get up to some wacky situation ...

Yeah - Gokushufudou only has one joke, but it's a really funny one.
This manga relies on excellent visual comedy. The contrast between ex-yakuza protagonist Tatsu and literally anything going else in the scene is always great. Chapters are short, sweet, and idiosyncratic (like most gag series). If anything, Gokushufudou is missing a narrative backbone - something that would emotionally invest us to its wacky set of side characters including a gaggle of neighborhood housewives, an impressible gang lowlife, a cute otaku wife, and our eternally misunderstood househusband (who's really just doing his best)! Looking forward to reading more and seeing the characters develop.

My favourite manga to date, and if you know me (which you don't, but never mind), it's not hard to see why.

Story (8/10): Honestly, for what Gokushufudou is, I couldn't give less of a damn if it hadn't any sort of distinct storyline. Just so happens that it does though, and it ain't half-bad either. Nothing incredible, but the whole yakuza deal it's got going on slots itself home into this manga's environment and as part of the characters' lives quite seamlessly.

Art (10/10): If Nichijou thrived off of simple yet absurd scenes, and Danshi Koukousei was filled with priceless face expressions, then Gokushufudou combines the ...

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 ...

Now I'm gonna be blunt with y'all. The only minus with my experience so far is that I cannot rate this manga 11 here, cause this is a 11/10 manga. I promise you will enjoy it if you love gangsters and dark, good humor.

This manga tells a story of a man who has lived a life of crime in past who falls in love passionately and becomes a "house husband" leaving the dark past behind. This manga is extremely sweet and funny and I have never ever bothered to review anything here before so you better believe me it's worth a read.

Enjoy the read ...

(TL;DR at the bottom)

I really can't praise this manga enough honestly. It's not very often that I find a series that just doesn't miss, every chapter is great, if you liked the first chapter then I can say you'll love this series. The only thing it is really missing is a story, but honestly, it doesn't really need one, the jokes and art more than make up for the lack of an actual story. The art style is also magnificent the expressions are so well made.

TL;DR, if you read the first chapter and you liked it, keep reading because I can promise you'll find ...

Actually funny manga with beautiful art style. Its hard to find mangas which actually make me laugh instead of making me cringe. However, its not perfect. For starters, there is not much of a story progression. Every chapter is completely isolated and very funny, but goes nowhere. This makes me feels as if im reading a garfield comic on a newspaper lol. Because of this its easy to lose interest when nothing is ever really happening. Also, the comedy can get repetitive. The same "im a badass doing wholesome things" joke gets tiring after a while.

Good manga to pass the time but not one ...

A lighthearted comedy slice of life centered around one joke- a berserk yakuza turned househusband. There is no storyline, every chapter is an excursion in Tatsu’s life. There is no depth either, nothing to make you care for these characters. The charm is how the author makes everyday mundane activities fun and entertaining. Even with all these flaws, you will not be bored. The art and dialogue are above average for this genre. If you are a big fan of these genres, this is probably an 8/10, but if you value emotional power above all else as I do, I think you will have close ...

STORY:there is not much of a story since its a comedy and comprises of one chapter conclusions. but the premise is that you get to have fun and laugh a lot while watching a yakuza giving up being a yakuza but still having the habits of a yakuza.

ART: the mangaka seems to be in his early stages in the first couple of chapters since he sometimes messes up the timing but as the manga progressess he gets better at both timing and art

CHARACTERS: i love all the characters except for one yakuza group leader women. the character behaviour's are one of the major factors in ...

I think the best way I can describe Gokushufudou is with one word, charming. The way the reader's expectations are subverted is simple but continuously entertaining.

The story is presented as separate events in each chapter. It's like reading a large collection of one-shots taking place in one universe with the same characters.

The art is gorgeous and fits the tone perfectly. It displays the toony charm seen in other anime and manga with well placed detail and realism to add drama.

The characters are easy to fall in love with and I would be a liar to say I haven't fallen head over heels ...

This right here is on its own league

Well I would call it "comic about yakuza in real life"

Its based on stereotypes about yakuza people and how those would interact in everyday normal life situations if it so happened that the yakuza "monster" would be living as a house husband.. :D

It is really entertaining, really well written and will really set you laughing pretty much in each story.


What else here to say, the very well executed unique approach that is meant to create a very well comedy.
There is hardly anything else I would recommend reading next to this manga, that how ...

This manga is based on a legendary Yakuza member, one of the strongest brawlers around and legend of the criminal underworld turned into a (mostly) docile house-husband by the love of a special woman. Don't expect anything too deep out of this story however, as it is almost solely a comedy, featuring short chapters that often jump between events rapidly rather than a more continuous, slower paced story. If you are not a huge comedy fan it might not be the choice for you but as far as I am concerned this series is one of the best comedies I've ever laid my eyes upon. ...

Story - 9
Art - 8
Character - 10
Enjoyment - 10
Overall - 10

Plot - ex-yakuza becomes a damn good househusband. Slice of life as he gets involved in the community (even though they are terrified of him and his looks at first), constantly telling the cops he isn't up to shady stuff despite looking like he is, deals with his otaku wife and helps his sworn younger brother. Episodic format, but some link together and characters are often recurring. All are lovable, some more than others, or interesting at the very least. Omake are wonderful. Lots of excellent puns and translation is great.

Reread - yeah!
