    Super fun to watch

    I saw it when I hang around in Netflix.

    I don't read the manga but I directly watch the show and I really enjoyed. I don't care the art style. It's funny anime and I laugh every episode and it is just 5 episodes. Give it a shot. The idea of a former yakuza becoming a househusband has a lot of potential. It's a good story. Super fun to watch and absurdly enjoyable.

    This may not be for everyone but I absolutely like it. I need more episodes. This is such a stupid show but I respect it. It is good but it had way more potential. I wish Netflix do one more season. It's really funny.
