Description
In a quiet museum after hours, a lonely part-time worker is assigned an unusual task: to speak with a statue of Venus in Latin every Monday when the building is closed. What begins as a dutiful, slightly awkward routine blossoms into unexpected companionship as Venus seems to come alive—sparking conversations that expand Rika’s mind and awaken her heart. As their bond deepens, the story turns playful and surreal while exploring love, loneliness, freedom, and the ways beauty—and women—are observed and controlled. With Emi Yagi’s distinctive, witty warmth and emotionally sharp imagination, this charming romance asks what it means to choose your own life when someone else tries to claim your world.
