COLLECTION Hors collection
SERIES Aya Of Yop City
VOLUME 8
Age All Ages
A successful eight-volume saga in the "Ivory Coast” style, set in the 70’s in a working-class neighborhood of Abidjan. Africa without clichés, by an author who was born there.

Yop City is rife with trouble! Aya tries to balance an internship and her complicated relationship with Didier. But her real energy goes toward fighting for student rights! Albert struggles to find housing. And that’s nothing compared with Bintou, who’s become the much-hated breakout star of the series Biddy Homebody! As for Inno, an undocumented refugee in France, life isn’t about to get easier. Still, our heroes rise to take their fates in hand... even if it means a little revolution!
Ongoing series, 8 volumes published.
