Synopsis
Legendary yakuza "Immortal Dragon" Tatsu becomes devoted househusband, mastering domestic life with former enemies shocked.
Who would have ever thought that the most feared gangster of his time now spends his days as a modest househusband? Seemingly giving up the way of the yakuza, the legendary "Immortal Dragon" Tatsu, best known for his prolific skirmishes against rival gangs, has abruptly vanished. Unbeknownst to most, however, Tatsu is currently staying at an apartment with his wife, doing his best to live a peaceful life. Donning his trusty apron, Tatsu is now striving to become an efficient homemaker. Because of this, he has mastered the required skills—be it cooking the most delicious dishes, making sure to get the best deals at supermarkets, and everything in between—garnering the surprise of both of his former subordinates and enemies alike. Despite being a man with quite a controversial past, Tatsu's new way of life will only be more eccentric from here on out!

- 10 “A simple, comforting show that hits the sweet spot of being “just ENOUGH” for a perfect pastime. No story complexity needed—what shines is the husband-material character I’m ready to stan forever....”
- 7 “Aside from what a great majority is saying about the animation I personally like it. Yes, it is not "Kimi no nawa" visuals but I don't really see that as a problem. The style for me just makes it...”
- 9 “With all the ridiculous things it has I fucking like this Maybe it could have been much better, but still from a comedic point of view it can be a masterpiece So, those who want to show themselves...”
