The Way of the Househusband has been greenlighted for a part 2, as announced via Netflix Anime Japan. For the uninitiated, here’s the basic story:
Feared among the yakuza as “The Immortal Dragon”, Tatsu is a legend of the underworld with an impressive number of defeated rival gangs under his belt. However, hoping to wash his hands of his past, Tatsu gets married and devotes himself fully to the way of the househusband by diligently undertaking the cooking, cleaning, washing and grocery shopping each day. On the other hand, there’s one person who’s not happy about Tatsu’s new domestic life — his tough, former yakuza underling, Masa. As Tatsu tries his best to pursue the way of the househusband, one assassin after another tries their hand at taking him out!
Based on the manga by Kosuke Oono, it features the voicework of Kenjiro Tsuda, Shizuka Ito, and Kazuyuki Okitsu among others. We reviewed the initial five episodes released on Netflix on 8 April 2021, which you can find here.
We’ll see if they make any changes to the Part 2 release, whenever it comes.
