After all kinds of tricks that earned the respect of its population, Manioka becomes king of the village and is just waiting for the easy life when a mysterious invitation is delivered inviting him to join the very heart of Afu-ra, the Forbidden City and bunkerisée where no one ever enters. This will change everything. The secret masters of downtown Manioka want to someone through whom they can control drug trafficking in the ghetto and to further strengthen their grip. This is a matter of conscience for Manioka. Opt for the life of comfort and peace by tricking drugs to his brothers? Or refuse to be a dealer and risk losing everything?
For the first time, Manioka rebels. A titanic struggle is takes place and the outcome is bound to be devastating …
Following the end of the story begun in 2009 by Nkodem in the first volume of Manioka. The rhythm slam, a futuristic parable and irony on today’s urban drift, and the invisible walls that compartmentalise our lives.
Artwork that I wasn’t too sure about is growing on me. I obviously do not get all the subtleties here but there are some quite humorous scenes. Not bad at all.
