The series had been on hiatus since chapter 13 was published on September 1, 2025. Chapter 14 is now available worldwide, with an English release on Shueisha's MangaPlus site. The chapter focuses on Lucius's wife Satsuki, who is separated from her family and back in her hometown, dealing with her obligations and considering her next steps. The chapter ends with a teaser featuring Lucius and Marius. Yamazaki launched the manga in February 2024 on Shonen Jump+, and Shueisha published the second compiled volume in March 2025. The series previously took a break in April 2024 before returning in July 2024. In the story, Lucius is now nearing 60 years old but continues to travel between ancient Rome and modern-day Japan. The original Thermae Romae manga ran from 2008 to 2013 and inspired a three-episode anime in 2012, two live-action films, and the Netflix anime Thermae Romae Novae.","why_it_matters":"The return of Zoku Thermae Romae after an eight-month break signals that Yamazaki is continuing the sequel series, which had an uncertain status, and the shift in focus to Satsuki's perspective expands the story beyond Lucius's time-traveling adventures.","published_at":"2026-05-19T21:00:54.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Anime News Network","Siliconera (Anime)"],"citations":[{"source":"Anime News Network","title":"Zoku Thermae Romae Manga Resumes Serialization","url":"https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-05-18/zoku-thermae-romae-manga-resumes-serialization/.237503"},{"source":"Siliconera (Anime)","title":"Thermae Romae Redux Sequel Manga Returns","url":"https://www.siliconera.com/thermae-romae-redux-sequel-manga-returns/"}],"license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":["Zoku Thermae Romae","Thermae Romae Redux","Thermae Romae"],"studios":[],"people":["Mari Yamazaki"],"type":"news","domain":"manga","is_roundup":false}}}
