Mafia troubles abound for the Armed Detective Agency!

Honda might be a skeleton, but that's nowhere near as crazy as working in a Japanese bookstore, whether it's running the store, dealing with out-of-print books, or handling eccentric customers.

The legendary yakuza "the Immortal Dragon" has washed his hands of the gangster life for something far more dangerous--becoming a househusband! Cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, cooking... These days he's doing everything he can to succeed as man of the house, if it doesn't kill him first! The cozy yakuza comedy continues!

"It's not easy to walk away from the gangster life, and what should be mundane household tasks are anything but The Immortal Dragon, once the fiercest member of the yakuza, is now a married man devoted to supporting his loving wife -- as a househusband. But when the gangster-turned-homemaker needs to make some quick cash to buy her a present, he turns to the only skills he knows... and gets his first part-time job..."--Provided by publisher.

With only minutes to stop Moby-Dick from crashing down on Yokohama, Atsushi encounters his nemesis, Atukagawa! However the face-off turns into a three-man battle when Fitzgerald enters the fray. Can Atsushi and Akutagawa counter the Guild leader's extravagant ability in time to stop the white whale's descent...?! -- Page 4 of cover.

"Tatsu is ambushed by a yakuza with a beef, and there's only one way to settle things--an epic rap battle! but this throwdown is only a warm-up for the buffet yet to come, because when you're the Immortal Dragon, you don't choose the househusband life, it chooses you!"--Provided by publisher.

"After hitting the big 3-0 while still a virgin, office drone Adachi discovers he can use magic. But this troublesome new skill, like Adachi himself, is fairly unremarkable: it allows him to read the minds of whomever he touches. One day, when he accidentally works his magic on Kurosawa, his very competent, handsome colleague, Adachi discovers Kurosawa has a raging crush...on none other than Adachi himself! With zero romantic experience to fall back...

"Through the Torii group's yakuza matriarch, Tatsu bags himself a new hustle as an enforcer--for the local supermarket! The gig? Catching shoplifters, of course! But can a househusband formerly known as "the Immortal Dragon" really change his allegiance, or will he be the one led out in cuffs instead?"-- Provided by publisher.

"All of Tatsu's hustling and networking since leaving the yakuza has earned him an offer he can't refuse--an invitation to run with the women's association, the movers and shakers of his neighborhood. But before he can be initiated, the Immortal Dragon must prove to the board's heavyweights that he truly can hack it as a homemaker. It will be the greatest test of his househusband's skills yet!"--Back cover.
