A short/quick read. Volume 1 was 164 pages and I finished it in about 20 minutes. This is mostly because a lot of the pages /panels are action focused and not text focused so there isn't necessarily a lot of reading. It's also very episodic with no overarching storyline so far which also is probably why it's so easy to get through. It's very entertaining though and did make me laugh on occasion.

This was comical - especially if you’re married or have been in a long term relationship.
I adored this and needed a quick, light read right now! On to book two and three!

Fun, light book featuring several short stories about a former Yakuza who has retired to become a househusband. Silly and enjoyable, a good time.

The chapter with the Rover hoover has me laughing so hard. 

This was a quirky little volume, that definitely felt serialized and that it would be a good translation to anime.

I got into the humour after a few chapters but was hoping for more of a cohesive story -perhaps later volumes follows a progressing storyline?

All in all, it was an okay read that got some bursts of laugh out louds from me, in later chapters.
