This 360 page, full color volume is the follow-up to last year's omnibus collection Aya: Life in Yop City, which collected the first three, previously published, volumes in the series, Aya, Aya of Yop CIty and Aya, the Secrets Come Out.  This time around we get to go straight to the omnibus collection and the fantastic value if offers.  The three volumes are contained in Aya: Love in Yop City are published here for the first time in English, and represent the conclusion to this exuberantly written and lushly illustrated series of life in the Côte d'Ivoire during the 1970s.  Written by Ivoirian native, Abouet and illustrated by the amazingly talented Clément Oubrerie*, the Aya books have met with great success in their homeland of France, including taking home an award from the Angoulême Festival, and there are plans for a film version.  Anyone not yet familiar with this series would do well to take a taste via this PDF preview.  This is a great series! 

And, not only does this volume collect three complete graphic novels, there is a bonus section that includes a glossary, supporting notes, and a recipe – including very detailed preparation instructions – for "100 percent authentic biékosseu"!

*(who was married to Abouet during the creation of these works, but, sadly, passed away in March of 2026; read his heartfelt obituary, penned by Cynthia Rose, on TCJ, HERE.)

Now out of print ... BUT we found several new copies IN THE ARCHIVES.
