Book Reviews: The Way of the Househusband Vols. 10 and 11 by Kousuke Oono

The Way of the Househusband Volume 10 by Kousuke Oono

Tatsu the Immortal Dragon (former Yakuza member turned househusband) continues living the domestic life while using his organized crime sensibilities to handle difficulties. In this volume, he deals with a Christmas illness in the family, an overweight woman, giving up smoking, and working in a grocery as a shoplifting buster. The humor is good and the stories read very quickly. I found it entertaining though it is very slight.

Mildly recommended.

The Way of the Househusband Volume 11 by Kousuke Oono

Tatsu and the missus go to an amusement park where they have to square off against another couple. Well, at least Tatsu and the other guy compete. Then Tatsu has to help is buddy Masa find an new, cheap apartment. They have a cooking competition too. Then Tatsu fights the ultimate rainy season enemy--mold. Plenty of other short adventures fill this volume with more of the typical light humor playing on the contrast of a yakuza living the life of a househusband.

Mildly recommended.
