Tatsu was a notorious Yakuza boss, nicknamed The Immortal Dragon. But he fell in love a career woman, Miku, and got married. He's left the gangster life behind in order to run the household while his wife pursues her graphic designer ambitions. Tatsu still occasionally runs into the old thugs, leading to street fights and the like. But the deep humor comes from his trying to make humdrum, everyday chores seem more badass. One chapter about the cat and the Roomba had me laughing out loud.
The comic series began in 2018 and is ongoing. Volume 1 is one of twelve collections so far, the first ten of which have been published in English. As is so often the case with popular manga, there are multiple screen adaptations: both live-action and animated television series as well as one live-action film. Volume 2 awaits me on my shelves.
