The official website for the live-action film Thermae Romae manga opened on Friday with a streaming teaser trailer.
Thermae Romae is a comedy about Lucius — an architect of public bath houses (thermae) in ancient Rome — who time-travels to various modern-day baths in Japan. Through manga and essay ages, Yamazaki explores the two cultures in the world "that have loved baths the most: the Japanese and the Romans!" Yamazaki launched the manga in 2008, and the third compiled book volume shipped on April 25.
Aya Ueto also stars in the film. The film will open on April 28, 2012.
