I writin' this review while I jsut only read 25 chapters but keep in mind I just wanted to promote the good stuff bro'.

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.
...
10/10 (funny, good art style, likeable characters)

Would recommend for everyone.

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 ... of “Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan”, it can last forever until the mangaka runs out of idea.

The abrupt conclusion of each chapter is also another reason why this manga is top-tier.


Art: 10
Ok guys, this category is a perfect 10. DON’T ARGUE WITH ME ON THIS CATEGORY! Those background are GOLD and those face expressions are DIAMOND. It is not hard to tell that the mangaka spent so much time on each manga box.


Character: 10
Because Yakuza and house husband are two contrasting “occupations”, ギャップ萌え (反差萌/ contrasting moe) setup for Tatsu is a huge selling point. Honestly, don’t want to spoil too much on this category as well.


Enjoyment: 10
This cannot be lower than a 10. I have never read any manga that can make normal daily routines, such as washing clothes or making food, to be as amusing as how this manga portrayed. It has been a while that a manga can make me laugh like this :D

Caution: readers need to be patient about this manga ( I don’t think this is a weekly manga); however, with such quality, I will say the wait is worth it.


Overall: 10 or 9.5
This manga has the potential of being long-lasting since it solely depends how many ideas or laughing points this mangaka will create. As long as this manga keeps on updating, I will keep on reading and following. -0.5 because of potential room for error

Honestly, this manga, sooner or later, will become an anime.

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 ... the food off of the page, but overall it's just fine. Nothing revolutionary, but not poorly thought out.
