Mulatako

Mulatako, name meaning ''union'' in the Duala and Malimba languages of Cameroon, is a sci-fi comic book inspired by the local version of the Mami-Wata myth. Known in African and Afro-descendant cultures as the mother of waters, half-woman, half-snake, in the Cameroonian coastline, the mami-wata or miengu are humanoid water spirits, with their feet turned upside down. The heroine of the comic book, Jéméa is a 10-year-old Mami Wata, enrolled in the initiation camp for young miengu of the Pamba. She is not a very assiduous student and is forced to repeat the year. At the same time, in the depths of the sea, a lively discussion breaks out among the members of the Assembly of the Miengu chiefs. During this discussion, a terrible decision is taken: to exterminate part of the population.
