The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 5 (5) par Kousuke Oono
Volume 5 in my opinion was a bit weaker than the preceding volumes. The jokes feel a bit flat. (Is this one joke manga running out of puff? Given that there’s at least another five volumes in English, it might just be me). Tatsu is introduced to the idea of being lazy, gets sick, goes to an all you can eat buffet and takes on a freestyle rap contest (which might have worked better in the Japanese). I probably will pick up the next volume if I see it at the library, it’s a light series overall perfect for winding down at the end of the day.… (plus d'informations)
Volume 4 continues in the same vein as the others (as expected). Short stories give glimpses into Tatsu’s new life – cooking with the new neighbour, story time for kids, babysitting during the school holidays and on the hunt for a hot new ingredient. I felt that it wasn’t as cohesive as the third volume, but it still makes you chuckle as a light-hearted read. It’s fun, but I do wonder how long the fish out of water aspect of Tatsu’s house husband life can continue.
Volume 3 is more of the same – seeing how Tatsu reacts in everyday situations and how others react to his reputation as The Immortal Dragon. It still brings a chuckle or two (or three). In this volume, Tatsu dresses up as Father Christmas, takes on insects, shows off his cooking skills and meets another ex-yakuza, who has a new job that is just as unlikely. We see a bit of more of the other characters too, which helps to keep things fresh.
Volume 2 continues with Tatsu trying some different house husband roles – a cooking class and exercising at the gym. Of course, with his reputation the police are suspicious but then so is Tatsu when he’s test driving a new car! With the second volume we know what to expect, but I found this volume to be quite sweet in his devotion to his role. It’s also refreshing to see how his in-laws treat him.
