Dame Oyaji
Dame Oyaji follows Damesuke Amano, an office worker who can't catch a break. He gets bullied at work and treated even worse at home, where he has zero authority—basically the opposite of how Japanese families were traditionally supposed to work. He lives with his wife Onibaba, a huge, violent woman who spends most of her time either beating him or verbally tearing him down. His teenage daughter Yukiko is beautiful but cruel, and his grade-school son Takobo joins right in. The whole family seems to exist mainly to make Damesuke's life hell. The original manga was pretty shocking for early 1970s Japan, where fathers were still typically supposed to be in charge. This flipped that idea completely on its head.
