Thermae Romae: The Complete Omnibus by Lys Blakeslee

When Roman architect Lucius is criticized for his "outdated" thermae designs, he retreats to the local bath to collect his thoughts. All Lucius wants is to recapture the Rome of earlier days, when one could enjoy a relaxing bath without the pressure of merchants and roughhousing patrons. Slipping deeper into the warm water, Lucius is suddenly caught in the suction and dragged through the drainage at the bottom of the bath! He emerges coughing and sputtering amid a group of strange-looking foreigners with the most peculiar bathhouse customs...over 1,500 years in the future in modern-day Japan! His contemporaries wanted him to modernize, and so, borrowing the customs of these mysterious bath-loving people, Lucius opens what quickly becomes the most popular new bathhouse in Rome--Thermae Romae! Soak in Mari Yamazaki's fantastic story and art in this deluxe omnibus version!

Mari Yamazaki was born on April 20, 1967, in Tokyo, Japan. She traveled to Italy at the age of seventeen, where she began studying sketching at a Florence art school. Yamazaki's first manga, an autobiographical look at her life in Italy, was published in 1996. She moved to Lisbon, Portugal, in 2003 after bouncing around between Japan, the Middle East, and Italy. She began sketching Thermae Romae for the monthly magazine Comic Beam on an ad hoc basis in 2008, and the first collected book, released in 2009, was a great sensation. Mari Yamazaki currently resides in Chicago with her Italian husband and their son. In 2010, Thermae Romae earned the Manga Taisho Award 2010 and the 14th Osamu Tezuka Culture Prize, Short Story Award.
