In this slim, standalone graphic novel from Dargaud (2014), a single issue tells the complete story of a young chef who discovers a magical ability to undo her past mistakes—only to find that altering fate comes with unforeseen consequences. Associated most closely with its writer and artist, the book is a tightly crafted meditation on regret, ambition, and the cost of second chances, notable for its intimate, character-driven storytelling within a single, self-contained volume.
