A lighthearted, warmly comedic slice-of-life about a reformed yakuza finding joy and connection in domestic routines and family life.

The most notorious househusband in history appears!! The sinister yakuza who left behind many legends in the underworld, "The Immortal Dragon". He washed his hands of the yakuza lifestyle, and the new path he chose… was "househusband"! In the never-before-seen narrative, "Tacchan" charmed living rooms everywhere. And now the "ultimate spokesman for housewives (and househusbands) everywhere,"the Yakuza Househusband, returns!
