The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_112daba0	type	Retired Badass
The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_112daba0	comment	Retired Badass: Tatsu himself. Most of the comedy is derived from him leaving the lifestyle but not the ways of the Yakuza, leading him to do things like treating a roomba like a new recruit to the gang. Tora, a rival yakuza who was considered to be one of the few people who could match him, now runs a creperie. He's not exactly happy about his retirement, mainly because he was forced into it after Tatsu put his gang out of business while he was in prison. Also Hibari, the matriarch of the Torii family, who retired from the business after her husband died a year earlier.

Torii sneaking away and indulging in a cat cafÃ© is treated as if she is hiding a visit to a brothel. Tatsu and Masa collecting neighborhood association dues is presented like they're collecting protection money, complete with terrified "victims". Tatsu trying to get his hands on Yakmil Y is treated like he's an addict trying to get his latest fix.

The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_196ccd94	comment	Neighborhood-Friendly Gangsters: The yakuza we see, even the still-active ones, don't seem to do much illegal activity (though that could just be because they do it offscreen). The bosses often seem more interested in their pets (see the dog park chapter). In real life this is a real concern when the police try to bust the Yakuza because while they are indeed violent gangsters they also value and legitimately protect their community.

While Tatsu looks scary, he merely tells the kid that he knows it was an accident, but they have to cover up the crime before Miku gets home. That means burying the "dead body". Unfortunately, Miku comes just as they pat the dirt and quickly deduces what happened.

What little we do know hints that, whatever happened, it most likely ended with him being badly injured, and that Miku came across him right afterwards. It's also unknown what happened to get Tatsu to marry Miku. She implies that he's actually become calmer since they first met, so how she managed to convince him to marry her is a mystery for the ages. Averted in the live action series, where it was shown how they met each other and ended up as a couple.

When Tatsu learns that he accidentally bought his wife a box set of an anime that she already has, he tries to commit yubitsume. Panicking, Miku pacifies him by hitting him hard enough to drop the knife (and send him flying out the window). When Tatsu accidentally walks in the women's locker room at the gym, he tells one of the women he works out with that he's ready for his punishment and that she should tie him up and leave him in the mountains or throw him in the ocean with cement shoes on. The women, understanding that it was a mistake, just call him a silly-billy and conclude that yoga suits him.

He also is extremely serious about cleanliness. When visiting a former subordinate whose apartment is a mess, Tatsu not only punches him for the mess, but also berates the man for throwing clothes in the wash without pre-treating them. He and another former yakuza, whose gang he put out of business while the guy was in jail, decide to settle their differences with a duel. A cooking duel. And the winner is decided by who gets more likes on a picture of what they made that they post to an Instagram knock-off. Cue Mundane Made Awesome, with narration by Masa. Miku's father likens playing catch to a serious heart-to-heart conversation between the participants, which is why he's disappointed that Tatsu keeps running the ball back to him rather than throwing it back. When Tatsu throws back the ball so hard the father is bleeding the latter is smiling and praising Tatsu for his slider.

The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_7a3dd888	comment	Real Men Wear Pink: Downplayed. Tatsu likes housekeeping and being a house husband, but his approach is more like cleaning a crime scene or completing missions for the clan. His aprons are the only things that can pass as cute. Continuing along those lines, when he learns flower arranging, he uses it to convey the experiences of being Yakuza, like the violence of the moment an excavator crashes through a rival office's wall, or the sense of fleeting life as your brothers-in-arms' lives slip away around you in a botched raid. The few glimpses we see of Tatsu in his former life imply that in addition to being a brutal enforcer he also took care of the domestic side of feeding and cleaning up after his boss

Tatsu misinterprets him to be talking of the police. In the original, Miku's Dad's animal conversation is about dogs, with the police being likened to dogs in Japan, so a dub change was made. In the French dub, the police are linked to chickens (unrelated to the idea of cowardice).

To make it even better, the yakuza he's demanding it from doesn't actually have it. It's the equivalent of a millionaire having a few dollar bills in his pocket.

The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_dead0638	type	Evil Desires Innocence
The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_dead0638	comment	Evil Desires Innocence: Tatsu was a brutal thug and a feared member of the yakuza. Then Miku finds him injured and carries him to safety. Cue a weirdly sweet and romantic series which opens with Tatsu having already reformed and swearing off his yakuza ways, but still carrying out things to help his wife in typical yakuza fashion.

The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_df4f7a9b	comment	Tiger Versus Dragon: The motif is referenced with the appearance of Tatsu's old yakuza rival Bareknuckle Tora; "Tatsu" and "Tora" mean "Dragon" and "Tiger" respectively.

The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_e034faef	type	Limited Animation
The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_e034faef	comment	Limited Animation: The anime uses very minimal animation, looking more in the vein of a motion comic than a fully animated series (the anime's director, Chiaki Kon, used a very similar approach to Back Street Girls, another anime she directed). This was a deliberate choice by the anime's producer.

The Way of the Househusband (Manga) / int_e692a3ae	comment	Lactose over Liquor: A variation in chapter 93, which features a yakuza bar that serves milk like it's liquor - it's not actually alcoholic, they just treat it like they would liquor.

Is Serious Business: When test driving a car with Miku, Tatsu starts having flashbacks and seeing passersby as potential assassins, eventually having to pull over and get out. Unlike most times in the manga, this is not Played for Laughs.

Tatsu referring to mundane everyday items (like flour, oxygen bleach, and powdered drink mix) as 'white powder' (ie, cocaine). Masa lampshades it at one point.
