Thermae Romae, a manga about a Roman architect who time travels between the reign of the Emperor Hadrian and the bathrooms of modern Japan, came out in an English translation in November, but in Japan it has already been made into an anime and a feature-length film. Manga review. Film site. Through a hilarious series of misunderstandings Douglas asked Heather for the French edition for Christmas, but that's cool too.

I got this as well, though mine was damaged and the replacement finally came. Having visited Roman hot springs in old Byzantium and Onsens, I didn't notice much of a similarity. But the series does continue the Japanese obsession for knowing way, way too much about western history.
