Lighthearted story of teen life in late 70s Ivory Coast. Art reminded me of Dragman, I was Their American Dream, or Roz Chast's stuff. Since Aya pre-dated all of those, I have to assume that it was an influence, or perhaps shared some earlier influences. Has a lot of humor & it kept me guessing to the very end. The recipes & supplemental material at the end in the “Ivorian Bonus” section are worth looking at too. I'll have to find vols 2 & 3 now.
