It's a truly, truly great book. I'm glad some things that aren't your typical manga make it over here. And yes, the actual quality of it is beautiful.
I didn't really think of Satsuki in that light until I read this. Now I have a bit more to ponder about. |

Why to focus on ancient rome, when the ancient and medieval world were filled with much more fascinating and most importantly unexplored and unrecognized civilizations that just wait that a book or a manga will be written about them. The Situation today is that so much historical literature and manga focused only on a narrow periods and cultures and only in western and japanese (mainly in manga) history kind of make the experience of literature and manga reading a lifeless experience. Even though this manga is attacking the ancient roman period from a different angle with the subject of bath engineering (which is good i guess) it is still not enough to cover the lack of manga that takes place in, say, precolonial america or africa. Now THAT will be more original or interesting.
Despite that, sounds like a good manga. |
