Japa is a comedic, time-travel adventure following two Nigerian university students, Bayo and Kunle, who are fed up with the state of their country. They stumble upon a top-secret time machine built by an eccentric professor, rumored to send people back in time. Driven by the idea that life in America would be paradise compared to their current situation, the duo concocts a bizarre plan: travel to the 1700s, convince their ancestors to willingly board slave ships bound for America, and “japa” (escape) to a land of promised opportunity. With a mixture of excitement and naivety, Bayo and Kunle sneak into the university’s dusty basement, activate the machine, and find themselves hurtling through space and time. They land smack in the middle of an 18th-century African shrine, just as a juju priest is performing rituals to protect the villagers from foreign invaders. To the locals, their plan to voluntarily board the slave ships sounds absurd—and downright insulting. With each episode, readers can expect laugh-out-loud moments, cultural clashes, and unexpected turns, as the duo faces the ancient world’s realities, debates about “japa” with ancestors, and grapples with a malfunctioning machine that might have them stuck in the past longer than planned.
Elara was a brilliant scientist, but her obsession with history led her to an invention that would change everything—the Chronomancer. A device meant to unlock the secrets of the past, it did more than she could ever imagine: it hurled her across time, pulling her from one era to another, chasing shadows of a man she couldn’t escape. His name was Orion. No matter where she went—through medieval battles, the jazz-filled streets of the Roaring '20s, or a future so far away it felt like a dream—he was always there. His eyes, his voice, his smile—it was as though fate had woven their paths together, over and over, through centuries. But with every meeting, something always tore them apart. In the present day, Elara meets him again. He recognizes her, though the truth is far more painful than she imagined. “We’ve met before,” he says, the sadness in his eyes revealing a hidden history of love and loss, a bond that stretches across time, yet remains forever untouchable. But Elara cannot let go. She cannot let time be the enemy of love. Determined to break the curse that keeps pulling them apart, she makes a dangerous choice, only to find herself trapped in a frozen moment—an eternity where they are together, yet forever stuck in the unyielding grip of time. They say love transcends time. But what if love and time are enemies in a battle they can never win?
