* {{Omake}}: Each manga volume has three bonus chapters.

* LowCountGag: Immortal Tatsu and a rival Yakuza decide to settle their differences in a duel. A CookingDuel, specifically, with the winner decided by how many people like the Instagram photos of their food. Tatsu wins... with a single Like, from his wife.

* HappilyMarried: Tatsu and Miku love each other deeply.

* FoodPorn: Whenever Tatsu cooks (which is pretty much every second chapter), it results in detailed hunger-inducing shots of the food in question.

** When Tatsu learns that he accidentally bought his wife a box set of an anime that she already has, he tries to commit yubitsume. Panicking, Miku ''immediately'' pacifies him by hitting him hard enough to drop the knife (and sending him flying out a window).

* CutenessOverload: The subject of chapter 50, as Tatsu, Miku, and a rival Yakuza go gaga over dogs.

** There's also Bareknuckle Tora.

* RealityEnsues: While chatting with his middle-aged housewife friends at the gym, Tatsu accidentally follows them into the women's changing rooms. Rather than enter PervertRevengeMode, they all understand it was an accident and wave off his apologies. Doubly so because they accidentally led him there during their walk and talk.

* AffectionateNickname: Tatsu is affectionately called Tatchan/Tacchan (translated as Tatty by the main scanlators, and Tacchan by the official translation) by his wife Miku.

* RealMenWearPink: {{Downplayed}}. Tatsu likes housekeeping and being a house husband, but his approach is more like cleaning a crime scene or completing missions for the clan. His aprons are the only things that can pass as cute.

* TheRival: Tatsu encounters Torajiro, another ex-Yakuza of a rival gang. Torajiro was called "Bare-Knuckle Tora" and was deemed to belong to the same level as Tatsu. Tora also happens to be a CloudCuckooLander and a crepe master.

* ComicallySerious: Most of the comedy derives from Tatsu doing everyday things while sporting his yakuza swagger.

* CreepyGood: Tatsu gave up his life as Yakuza, but he still has the mannerisms and fashion sense of one, suggesting corporal punishments like yubitsume[[note]]cutting off a pinky finger as atonement[[/note]] and burying a broken doll in the garden as if it were a body he needed to dispose of. He is also a bit too chatty about his past experiences.

'''Tatsu, on his back with his legs and feet behind his head:''' Sure does! This is how you look after the boss gets done whackin' ya with a wooden sword!

* DisproportionateRetribution: Defied; no one wants to follow Tatsu's idea of how he should be "punished" for his mistakes.
** When Tatsu realizes he accidentally buys his wife a box set of an anime that she already has, he tries to commit yubitsume.
** When Tatsu accidentally walks in the women's locker room at the gym, he tells one of the women he works out with that he's ready for his punishment and that she should tie him up and leave him in the mountains or throw him in the ocean with cement shoes on. The women just call him a silly-billy and conclude that yoga suits him.

-->'''Mom:''' We are so poor, so this is all I can really buy you. I'm sorry.\\
'''Present day Yakuza:''' ...I miss you, Mom!
* FaceOfAThug: Tatsu looks unintentionally scary enough that his every attempt to smile or appear friendly often unnerves normal civilians.
* FoodPorn: Whenever Tatsu cooks (which is pretty much every second chapter) it results in detailed hunger-inducing shots of the food in question.

* HouseHusband: Tatsu takes care of house duties while Miku works as a designer. Tatsu takes his role ''very, very seriously.''
* LethalChef: Miku and her dad; just the way they cook is wildly dangerous as they swing their knives like cleavers, and if it wasn't for her mom salvaging the food, it would be inedible.
* LikeASonToMe: Tatsu's father-in-law really wants to treat him as if he were his own child, since he never had a son. It's hard given he doesn't have much in common with Tatsu.

** What happened that caused Tatsu to retire from the Yakuza is not made clear. What little we know hints that, whatever happened, it most likely ended with him being badly injured, and that Miku came across him right afterwards.
** It's unknown what happened to get Tatsu to marry Miku. She implies that he's actually become calmer since they first met, so how she managed to convince him to marry her is a mystery for the ages.
* PoliceBrutality: Nagai's partner suggests that instead of arresting Tatsu for apparently growing drugs they should just beat the shit out of him. His face when he says it unnerves Nagai.
* RealMenWearPink: Downplayed. Tatsu likes housekeeping and being a house husband, but his approach is more like cleaning a crime scene or completing missions for the clan. His apron is the only thing that can pass as cute.
