Le sculpteur Pygmalion éprouve une fascination pour sa création qui représente une jeune femme sous le nom de Galatée. À travers cette oeuvre le sculpteur a façonné un idéal féminin, au point d'en perdre la raison et de tuer son maître... Pygmalion ne remarque pas l'amour que lui voue une autre femme, Agapé, bien réelle, elle. Désespérée face à l'indifférence du sculpteur, elle finira par se donner la mort. Aphrodite, la déesse de l'amour, décide pourtant de donner vie à la sculpture, répondant ainsi au voeu de Pygmalion... Mais il y aura un prix à payer !

Boy was this bizarre.
Pygmalion has a dream and becomes obsessed with recreating the woman he saw. Even kills his master in his obsession. Agape is in love with him but he cares for no woman. She makes a deal with Aphrodite and takes the forms of Galatea, Pygmalion's statue. Obviously he's over the moon and they get married but someone brings up that he murdered his master. To protect him Galatea/Agape reveals her true identity and the truth of what happened. But that also means her deal with the goddess is over. I guess it's a tradegy because it took her becoming a reincarnation of his statue for Pygmalion to fall in love with Agape. He is distraught about losing her and they both become statues?
Art style was fine. Wasn't expecting that much naked people. Honestly don't understand what Agape saw in him. Not my favorite story.
