There hasn’t been a long time when a yakuzu who was known as immortal dragon used to be the fear for many people. Whoever came across with him used to feel threatened. He has now met a new enemy who is toughest to be defeated. He has to do every possible thing he can as it’s not going to become a house husband.
The slice of life manga about stay at home man are not rare anymore. There are many manga about husband’s who stay at home at do all the home chores while their wives work for the living. But this concept has been taken to next level in the volume of Gokushufudou series. Tatsu is a young house-husband who once was a Yakuza, known as Immortal Dragon. He has quit being a Yakuza to become a great husband by helping her at home while she works as designer.
In the first volume of the series Tatsu has to face a lot of problems as it is not easy being a house husband and everything is new to him like shopping while there is sales in stores, arguing with salesmen, babysitting a kid and dealing with a cat. What makes this manga more funny and different than other slice of life manga is that he can’t fully give up his past reputation. Even when he is out trying to live a life of a normal civilian he still comes off as violent. We can’t control our laughs when he tries his best to avoid that but fails every time. For example there is scene he start acting like a Mafioso while babysitting a kid who causes mess.
Gokushufudou has made a very clichéd concept and turned into a wonderful slice of life romantic comedy about an ex-yakuza. It’s not just about how often his hidden violence streak shows up at times but how he cope with that. The extreme level of his ‘peaceful’ exploits will definitely make you laugh out loud.
Apart of a wonderful plot the other best thing about this manga is the art. You may have ready several slice of life manga but if you are also a shanon fan then this manga will definitely give those vibes with slice of life theme. Every panel is vibrant enough that it will never lose your attention thought the volume.
If you want to read a romantic comedy with elements of slice of life to the extreme level, then this manga is definitely for you. Here we have discussed few more reasons for you to read it. It is truly a classic slice of life manga series. We hope that the volume 2 will be the same
