Thermae Romae Novae is a Netflix series that is truly out of the ordinary. The story follows Lucius, a Roman architect who is passionate about baths, and who suddenly finds himself thrown into modern-day Japan. Through his travels, he discovers baths, onsen, and habits that are completely different from his own. The concept may seem totally absurd at first, but that is exactly what makes the series so charming.

Jaja loves chess. But not just to play it. He actually lives it. With him, a game can start anywhere. Even (especially) in a supermarket, between two aisles and a few perplexed looks.
