Sa-Dou

A manga that introduces different ways to enjoy sauna life.

This is such an interesting manga and yet another example of how subculture booms in Japan are directly represented in media. Currently in Japan, there is a surge of focus on how great saunas are. This manga follows a few characters as they introduce different saunas and stories related to the sauna-lifestyle and its benefits. Katsuki Tanaka‘s lighthearted art style works well with conveying the heat of saunas, the chill cooling of water baths, and the relaxation you get from resting in between on lounge chairs. This is good entertainment that effectively makes you want to try out a sauna and they’ve even adapted it into a Japanese drama.
