I love the art style and the coloring; it has its own vibrant personality. Would love to see it animated. I also loved no-nonsense Awa Kouyate and her struggles with putting up with the less than ambitious, reluctant Prince Mansour. The story is a little confusing/messy jumping from different episodic bits, but I enjoyed reading this.
