Olympia Kyklos

Olympia Kyklos

A manga about an athletic ancient Greek vase artist, Demetrios, who time warps to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and becomes inspired from learning about field days, Olympic marathons, manga, and professional wrestling.

We’ve discussed this manga on a recent episode.

I think this manga is great but considering I’m a big fan of Mari Yamazaki it’s not surprising. This series is more lighthearted and comedy oriented so it’s closer to Thermae Romae than PLINIVS. I said it on the podcast as well but considering this manga covers Osamu Tezuka‘s Phoenix and professional wrestling, Olympia Kykylos might as well be the official representative of Manga Machinations.
