Visually appealing, well-executed comics, but the heterosexual nonsense is too much for me. ( ) Disclaimer: *it's been a while since I've read this, but I saw the movie recently. Yes, go watch it! I enjoyed this series a lot. I'm someone who enjoys overly dramatic soap operas, so this was a perfect fit for me. Things get very messy with pregnancy drama ("You're not the father"- Maury), affairs, and general dating life. There are blatant sexism and dusty men who can't keep their drawls on throughout the story as well as an emphasis on education. Aya is focused and doesn't get into a lot of foolishness nor tolerate it. Despite her parents wanting to marry her off soon, she would rather study medicine. Even with all the drama in this series, we see how the lovable characters march through their days in a vibrant, colorful community. I really liked the setting for this one-Ivory Coast in the 70s. I enjoy reading about other countries and cultures, and this was a neat format for it. The art was good, but the story was a little too much of a soap opera for me, with not very many characters I liked. I'm undecided if I'll read the next volume. Aya is an irresistible comedy, a couple of love stories and a tale for becoming African. It's essential reading." -Joann Sfar, cartoonist of The Rabbi's Cat Ivory Coast, 1978. It's a golden time, and the nation, too-an oasis of affluence and stability in West Africa-seems fueled by something wondrous. Aya is loosely based upon Marguerite Abouet's youth in Yop City. It is the story of the studious and clear-sighted nineteen-year-old Aya, her easygoing friends Adjoua and Bintou, and their meddling relatives and neighbors. It's a wryly funny, breezy account of the simple pleasures and private troubles of everyday life in Yop City. Clément Oubrerie's warm colors and energetic, playful line connect expressively with Marguerite Abouet's vibrant writing. This reworked edition offers readers the chance to immerse themselves in Abouet's Yop City, bringing together the first three volumes of the series in Book One. Drawn & Quarterly will release volumes four through six of the original French series (as yet unpublished in English) in Book Two. Aya is the winner of the Best First Album award at the Angoulême International Comics Festival, the Children's Africana Book Award, and the Glyph Award; was nominated for the Quill Award, the YALSA's Great Graphic Novels list, and the Eisner Award; and was included on "best of" lists from The Washington Post, Booklist, Publishers Weekly, and School Library Journal. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
