Madga The Big Tournament by Nicolas Wouters follows a twelve-year-old named Madga competing in a galaxy-wide children’s cooking competition called the Intergalactic Cooking Tournament. Madga was born on Azuki, a tiny moon planet renowned for its incredible plant life, especially broccoli. Madga is a bit of a messy child, but she is a talented chef who creates unique and delicious dishes. Kids all over the galaxy hope to win a chance to compete in the challenge. The prize is Nectar, a precious resource that can reshape worlds and save dying ones. As Madga participates in the competition, she uncovers something sinister at play.
It took me a while to get into the graphic novel. I didn’t really like the drawing style. I felt like the graphic novel needed more world-building details because everything was new. As someone who loves cooking shows, I would have preferred it if they used real food ingredients and techniques instead of imaginary ones. I think that would have made me more invested in the story. I also sometimes felt unsure about where the story was heading, and there were elements that didn’t add much to the narrative. Unfortunately, it ended on a cliffhanger, but I am in no rush to find out what happens next.
