About the book
In late-1970s Yopougon, Abidjan, Aya is focused on her ambitions while her friends Bintou and Adjoua navigate family, romance and neighborhood life. Marguerite Abouet and Clément Oubrerie deliver a lively, humorous portrait of Ivorian youth beyond reductive stereotypes. This is slice-of-life comics, not fantasy manga: its strengths are character, humor and everyday relationships.
