Aya #1

This volume collects the first three chapters of Marguerite Abouet and Clément Oubrerie's acclaimed graphic novel series, originally published in French as Aya de Yopougon. Set in the 1970s in the working-class Abidjan neighborhood of Yopougon, it follows the daily lives, dreams, and misadventures of teenager Aya and her friends, offering a warm, slice-of-life portrait of Ivory Coast that avoids typical African stereotypes. This edition from Reprodukt presents the story in its original full-color artwork and translated English text.
