In preparation for the upcoming live-action film The Way of the Househusband, Sony Pictures Japan has released a short clip on their YouTube channel, depicting two minor characters gossiping in a restaurant but it’s long before their conversation ends on a hilarious note.
The clip features Masa (voiced by Jun Shison) talking to Yukari Omae (voiced by Tina Tamashiro), a new character who is a part-time cafe waitress/college student. The two talked about the main character, Tatsu, and his ‘lack-of’ relationship with his rival – Torajirou’s sister Koharu. But eventually, Yukari gets annoyed with Masa for obsessively talking about Koharu only and she retaliates by hitting him on the head, followed by setting a hot plate on his hands.
Way of the Househusband is popular manga series that was released back in 2018. It follows Tatsu, a former yakuza-turned-househusband who lives his new life supporting his wife Miku. The manga currently has nine volumes in Japanese and has a mix of action, mild violence, and comedy as Tatsu uses his old Yakuza experience in his everyday life. The manga was later adapted into anime by Netflix as well as a live-action TV series by NTV and both were released in October 2020.
The live-action film was announced by Sony Pictures in April 2022, It will be released in Japan, with the cast from the Japanese live-action series reprising their roles.
