There seems to be a recurring theme in Gokushufudou: The Way of the House Husband where Tatsu, deapite terrifying people with how overwhelmingly powerful and dangerous he remains, that he also leaves them nostalgic for their mothers and simpler, more innocent times.

It’s both absolutely hilarious to see a scam artist moved by the simplicity of a simple meal often prepared for children and a defeated, low-rung mobster crying as he remembers being gifted mittens by his mom (all she could afford to keep him warm, being poor).

If I HAD to read anything into this silly manga, the theme seems to be:

Hey, housework is really tough and being a homemaker involves balancing a lot of different, equally important skills, it’s nothing to scoff at.

Hard-hearted men would benefit from remembering the softness with which their mothers/grandmothers, etc. raised them (where applicable).

…….. “have these mittens, so you can stay warm, even when you’re not packing heat” remains the most awesome line to throw at someone you just disarmed and slipped mittens on, before they catch on, because you move just THAT fast.

z-ephyrs:

I have been waiting for the Gokushufudou manga my entire life. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted. A dangerous dude who probably did a lot of bad stuff drops everything from his previous life and turns over a new leaf to become a house husband who supports and admires and loves his wife??????? Who goes all the fuck out for her??? Amazing. Incredible. I love it. Please give me more.
