The Way of the Househusband will return for Part 2 on Netflix, the streaming giant has confirmed.

Directed by Chiaki Kon and animated by Musashino-based studio J.C.Staff, The Way of the Househusband premiered its first five episodes on Netflix on April 8. Shortly thereafter, the official Netflix Japan Anime Twitter account announced production on a second part for the action/comedy anime series.

Based on the manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Kousuke Oono, The Way of the Househusband follows Tatsu, who was once a feared yakuza boss nicknamed "the Immortal Dragon." Tatsu retires from his life of crime in order to support his career-focused wife Miku, putting his skills to use by doing housework and completing various domestic tasks. The manga was previously adapted into a live-action television drama, which ran for 10 episodes on Japan's Nippon TV in late 2020. Part 1 of Netflix's anime adaption consists of five episodes, which run for an average of 16-17 minutes each.
