![]() ![]() There's a joyous rambunctiousness to Sapin's art which is immensely captivating. No, it's when the stray cat gets in on the action that it all got out of hand, in Akissi's mind at least.ĪYA: LIFE IN YOP CITY and AYA: LOVE IN YOP CITY's Marguerite Abouet returns, sadly not with collaborator Clément Oubrérie this time around, though artist Mathieu Sapin manages to capture the madcap goings-on of a vibrant small town in the Ivory Coast with equal aplomb, as feisty Akissi and her bunch of ragtag chums run riot and cause their parents and teachers immense trouble, repeated headaches, and indeed even one epileptic fit! ![]() She simply wasn't paying attention when listening to the directions she was carefully given by her mum, but I don't think that would be the excuse Akissi would come out with. There is, of course, a very good reason as to why the mischievous, impish Akissi has failed to deliver an intact fish to Auntie Victo who only lives around the corner, as her mother instructed her to do several hours ago. Mum, Auntie Victo says to thank you but she's not a fan of fish head. "Akissi! What on earth happened to you!?" ![]()
