The Way of the Househusband Gets Spin-off on Hulu | Game Rant

The list of wholesome television husbands is a short one and its almost non existent when it comes to entertainment outside of North America. Lament this egregious shortage no longer for The Way of the Househusband is getting a live-action spin-off called 3-nen Tatsu-gumi: Gokushufu-sensei

Fandom for The Way of the Househusband outside of Japan is small, but its building into a popular franchise with the story coming to nearly every medium. It started with Kousuke Oono’s award-winning manga before a live-action version made its debut in Japan in 2020. Then came the Netflix announcement that The Way of the Househusband would finally get an anime adaptation in 2021 that will be coming to both Japan and North America. Finally, there’s the spinoff series which is set to debut November 8 on Hulu Japan.

During a time when culture is more sensitive than ever about depictions of gender, specifically of masculinity and what it means to be a man, The Way of The Househusband deals with both in a way that is both humorous and respectful. The story follows retired yakuza member Tatsu (aka “Immortal Tatsu”) who is living out the rest of his days as a househusband. Done with with a life of crime and violence, the remaining drama he deals with takes place in the grocery store and caring for his anime-loving wife Miku. 

While both the live-action version and anime follow the plot closely, the 3-nen Tatsu-gumi: Gokushufu-sensei spin-off changes the premise slightly. Instead of following Tatsu’s daily exploits at home, it puts him in charge of a home economics class after the teacher goes on maternity leave. The spin-off series will run six episodes and there is no word yet whether it will be coming to North America.

The live-action version of The Way of the Househusband stars Hiroshi Tamaki as  Tatsu and he will reprise that role in the spin-off television show. Voice actor Kenjiro Tsuda also returns as narrator for the show. He is slated to voice Tatsu in the upcoming Netflix anime adaptation. 

There is no telling whether The Way of the Househusband will catch on west of Japan, but the fact that it is getting so many different adaptations is a win for good husbands everywhere.

The Way of the Househusband spinoff series 3-nen Tatsu-gumi: Gokushufu-sensei releases on Hulu Japan November 6.
