Recent English volumes have come out about every 5 months. The English edition runs about 1.1 years behind Japan. How we predict

The Way of the Househusband in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Sep 17, 2019 from Viz Media. In the 6.3 years since, 15 volumes have come out — one about every 5 months on average. Recent volumes have kept close to that pace (about every 5 months). The longest wait was 8 months, between Vol. 4 and Vol. 5.

Japan is at Vol. 17 (Jun 9, 2026), so 2 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing those would take about 10 months.
