Aya: Claws Come Out by Marguerite Abouet and Clement Oubrerie review Ivory Coast's comic soap opera
Briefly

"Fans of the Aya books love their episodic soapiness, and in Claws Come Out (translated by Edwige-Renee Dro) there is as much going on as ever. Aya is now an intern at a legal firm where she faces inequality in all its guises, while her friend Adjoua, who runs a food stall, is busy worrying both about her preternaturally gifted baby son, Bobby, and the departure from home of her brother, Albert, after he inadvertently revealed his sexuality to their horrified parents."
"Since translated into 15 languages, it made both Abouet and her creation, Aya, comics superstars. And now they're back."
