The Way of the Househusband is a Japanese comedy manga series by Kousuke Oono that puts an ex-yakuza boss in the position of a serious househusband.
The manga series’ episodic slice-of-life approach struck a chord with readers who deal with the same mundanities of life, with the over-the-top ex-yakuza protagonist being a surprisingly charming character to follow.
The series has been adapted into a live-action television series and an anime series, and an upcoming live-action movie is in the works. On the movie official Twitter account, a trailer, a poster and the full title have been released. Titled Gokushufudō: The Cinema, the cast of the live-action television series will reprise their roles for this film.
