Uniquely Japan is a nice resource to have. While it is in no way a comprehensive guide, I know that there are a few things I will remember due to the comic strip format. I am rating it 4 out of 5 stars.

The Way of the House Husband Volume 11
The Way of the House Husband is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kousuke Oono. Published in the online manga magazine Bunch Comics since 2018, Volume 11 was published on January 1, 2021. The series has been filmed for Netflix but I haven't seen it. The Way of the House Husband follows Tatsu, an infamous and feared yakuza boss nicknamed "the Immortal Dragon" who retires from crime to become a househusband so that he can support wife Miku. The episodic series depicts a variety of comedic scenarios, typically wherein Tatsu's banal domestic work as a househusband is juxtaposed against his intimidating personality and appearance, and his frequent run-ins with former yakuza associates and rivals.
