ローマ人！

Romans!

This review contains spoilers. 紙のコミックスを読了。彫刻的肉体美が見たくなると読み直します。それにしても映画のキャスティングは唯一無二だったな…。

This review contains spoilers. I've read the paper comic. I reread it when I want to see sculptural physical beauty. Even so, the movie's casting was unique...

ローマの風呂事情

The bath situation in Rome

This review contains spoilers. かなりよくできていて考察もきっちりされているのでとても面白く読めますね。近年続編も出ております。ルシウスとその息子さんとの掛け合い漫画としてとてもコメディチックにできていて笑えます。ローマ皇帝知識も良いです。

This review contains spoilers. It's pretty well done, and the discussions are thorough, so it's very interesting to read. Sequels have also been released in recent years. It's a very comedic comic with Lucius and his son, and it's funny. The Roman emperor's knowledge is also good.

ハマった！

I'm addicted to it!

映画を観てコミックも気になって読み始めたら、すごく面白くてハマりました。お風呂文化ってこう始まったのかと、色々知れておもしろい！

When I watched the movie and started reading comics, it was really interesting and I was addicted to it. I wonder how bath culture began, and it's interesting to know so much!

テルさん

Teru-san

って気安く呼ぶな！相手はローマ帝国の方なんですからね。映画で何回か鑑賞してるから原作はどんなん？って感じで、本当に面白い！大爆笑！また映画見たくなるやんー！

Don't call me casually! That's because my opponent is from the Roman Empire. I've watched the movie a few times, so what is the original story like? It feels like that, and it's really interesting! LOL! It makes me want to watch the movie again!

面白い

interesting

映画からだったのか、これを知ったから映画を見たのか忘れましたが、このお話が大好きです。男性誌だからなのか恋愛要素はあまりなかったですが、異世界転移ものとしてとても面白いです。映画の配役もハマっていて、あれも時々観たくなります。気に入って時々読み返すシリーズです。

I forgot if it was from the movie or if I watched the movie because I found out about it, but I love this story. There wasn't much romance element, probably because it was a men's magazine, but it's very interesting as something from another world. I'm also addicted to the cast of the movie, and I want to watch that too from time to time. It's a series I love and reread from time to time.

とても楽しかった♪

It was so much fun ♪

昔読んで、映画(主演の阿部寛さんがどう見てもローマ人でしたよね笑)も見ました♪面白いですよね～♪懐かしくて購入させて頂きました～♪

I read it a long time ago, and I also watched the movie (the lead actor Hiroshi Abe was Roman no matter how I looked at it lol) ♪ it's interesting ~ ♪ I'm nostalgic and bought it ~ ♪

ローマと風呂だあ‼

Rome and the bath ‼

This review contains spoilers. 日本の風呂屋にタイムスリップしたローマ人。彼は日本の技術を凄いと思い、応用して、ローマにもどって風呂を設計した。見事な東洋と西洋の融合だ。❗ローマ人の生活や日本の指圧師などごちゃまぜになっているが、それぞれの領域を守っている。凄い作品だ♨

This review contains spoilers. A Roman who traveled back in time to a Japanese bathhouse. He thought Japanese technology was amazing, applied it, and went back to Rome to design a bath. It's a splendid fusion of East and West. ❗ The lives of Romans and Japanese shiatsu practitioners are mixed up, but they protect each area. It's an amazing work ♨

とにかく大変おもしろい！

Anyway, it's very interesting!

This review contains spoilers. 作家さんの作品を初めて手にしました。映画化された２本をテレビで拝見しあまりのおもしろさから原作を見てみたいと購入しました。アニメ化もされているとのことなので機会があればそちらも見たいものです。画面は、学生時代にデッサンでお世話になった胸像さながらの人物たちで、漫画というよりはスケッチ集や石像のようでした。でもそこがいい！本当に古代ローマ時代を透明な何かで仕切られたこちら側から覗いているような感覚でした。お風呂だけでなく古代ローマ時代を味わえます。「ローマ＆風呂、わが愛」と題した作者エッセイと思われるページ(全23)についてもとても興味深く読みました。(活字の小ささには注意が必要かも)さつきとルシウスがどうなるのか、最終話の本当のラスト10数ページで終えてしまったのが残念であり、また、ハドリアヌス亡き後の新たな時代の欠片、始まりを端的に示しているようでよかったです。現代に残る伊藤のみんなのお話が読めるとあり探しましたが‥残念。映画でも問題があったようですし番外編でも‥描いてくださる作者さんの尊厳が保たれ不利益にならないよう祈るばかりです。

This review contains spoilers. I got my hands on an artist's work for the first time. I saw 2 movies made into movies on TV and bought them because they were so interesting that I wanted to watch the original. It is said that it has also been made into an anime, so if I get a chance, I'd like to watch that too. The screen was about people just like busts that I drew when I was a student, and it looked like a collection of sketches or stone statues rather than comics. But that's good! It really felt like I was peeking through the ancient Roman era from this side divided by something transparent. In addition to taking a bath, you can enjoy ancient Roman times. I also read the pages (23 in total) which seem to be the author's essay entitled “Rome & Bath, My Love” with great interest. (You may need to be careful about how small the print is) It's a pity that I finished the actual last 10 or so pages of the final episode about what will happen to Satsuki and Lucius, and I'm also glad that it simply shows fragments and the beginning of a new era after Hadrian's death. I was able to read the stories of everyone in Ito who remains in the present day, so I searched for them, but... too bad. There seems to have been a problem with the movie, and even in the extra edition... I just pray that the dignity of the author who draws it will be maintained and that it won't be disadvantageous.

本当に面白かった！

That was really interesting!

This review contains spoilers. 奇想天外な設定だが、平たい顔族の一員としては、もしかしたらこんなことがあったかもしれない…とほくそ笑んでしまう。最後は時間も空間も超えた愛が成就して本当に良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. It's a bizarre setting, but as a member of the flat face family, it makes me laugh out loud that maybe something like this might have happened... At the end, I'm really glad that love that transcends time and space came true.

温泉に入りたくなる

Makes me want to bathe in hot springs

ルシウスの探求心と日本人の温泉・銭湯との結びつきが面白い！この漫画で公衆浴場巡りが趣味になりました！

The connection between Lucius's inquisitive mind and Japanese hot springs and public baths is interesting! Visiting public baths became my hobby with this comic!

何回でも読みたくなるわ！

You'll want to read it again and again!

ヤマザキマリさんの漫画はとても不思議。この漫画も古代ローマと現代日本を舞台としているのに、違和感が全然ない。人も昔から変わらないという、ヤマザキマリさんの人間愛が、感じられる素敵な作品です。

Mari Yamazaki's comics are very strange. Even though this comic is set in ancient Rome and modern Japan, there's no sense of incongruity at all. It is a wonderful work where you can feel Mari Yamazaki's love for humanity, where people have not changed since ancient times.

阿部寛主演で

Starring Hiroshi Abe

映画化もされたヒット作です。原作のマンガ版もメチャクチャ面白いです。現代日本の銭湯のテクノロジーをローマの時代に持ち込んで、大人気になるシーンは痛快です。オススメです。

It's a hit film that was also made into a movie. The original manga version is also really interesting. The scene where modern Japanese bathhouse technology was brought into the Roman era and became very popular is exciting. I recommend it.

エンタメ

entertainment

浴場を設計する古代ローマ人が現代日本に現れて文明に驚くって内容ですが、絵のタッチは絵画なのに内容はエンタメよりヽ(￣▽￣)ノギャップも含めて最後まで読み進めたくなる作品です。

The content is that ancient Romans, who designed bathhouses, appeared in modern Japan and were surprised by civilization, but even though the touch of the picture is a painting, the content is more than entertainment (▽), and it's a work that makes you want to read on until the end, including Gaps.

表題の通りなのですが勉強にもなりました。古代ローマで温泉があったこともこのマンガで知りましたちゃんと恋愛要素もあって楽しめました！！

As the title suggests, it was also a learning experience. I also learned in this manga that there were hot springs in ancient Rome, and I really enjoyed it because of the romantic element!!

映画とは違った…

It was different from the movie...

映画とは違った面白さですね。映画は映画の、漫画は漫画の面白さがあります。映画と漫画の両方を観た人は、かなり得していると思います。

It's a different kind of fun from a movie, isn't it? Movies are movies, and comics are interesting. I think people who have watched both movies and comics have gained quite a bit.

お風呂！に着目したセンス

bath! Sense focused on

現代とローマのお話です。本当に「真面目で面白い」です。映画も良いですけど、原作の方が笑えるんじゃないかな。こういう時を超える系のお話いいですよね、ローマ時代の文化になるほど〜と感じたのも読み続けるモチベーション？になります。

This is a story about modern times and Rome. It's really “serious and funny.” The movie is good too, but I think the original one is more laughable. Stories that transcend time like this are good, and the fact that I felt that it became Roman culture is also what motivates me to keep reading? It becomes.

画力

Drawing power

この画力がないときっとこんなに面白いマンガにならなかっただろうなと思います。真面目だけどどこかズレてるルシウスがとっても面白いです。

Without this drawing ability, I don't think it would have been such an interesting manga. Lucius, who is serious but out of place, is really interesting.

今さらですが面白い！笑ってしまって電車の中とか人前で読めないです。確かな画力ときちんとした設定(ファンタジーなのに)。作者の力量がスゴいです。

More now, but it's fun! I laughed so much that I couldn't read it on the train or in public. Solid drawing power and a proper setting (even though it's fantasy). The author's ability is amazing.
