Summary:

Once upon a time, a man named Tatsu was a fierce member of the Yakuza. He was known as the Immortal Dragon and infamous for everything he did – and survived. But that was years ago. Now he's a househusband and quite dedicated to the job.

Enter the househusband! He walked away from a life of danger and violence. Now, he fights a new type of battle against dust and messes. All while mastering the art of cooking and shopping.

Review:

Okay, The Way of the Househusband Vol. 7 may have one of the funniest (if shortest) bits thus far. I was crying and laughing, which was only the beginning of this volume! This is proof that the series is holding onto that charm.

It felt like The Way of the Househusband Vol. 7 had way more shorter stories in it than in previous volumes. That said, I enjoyed the pacing. Some stories I enjoyed more than others (such as the one I mentioned earlier).

This volume teases Tatsu's backstory again but in a light and oddly funny way. Once again, it's a nice reminder of why he and Miku work. There are also two cat-centric stories. The first is a cat cafe-themed one, and the other follows the one and only Gin. In other words, it's all perfectly balanced.

Highlights:
Ex-Yakuza turned Househusband
Comical
Slice-of-life
Adorable Cat side stories

Tatsu yelling at things and overreacting continues to be funny, but we are reaching the point of diminishing returns after 7 volumes without much change in the formula…
