Akihiko’s puppy-like editor. Thorough and good at his job as Akihiko’s supporter.
A famous author with a clear on/off switch for work. Refuses to be exclusive with anybody.
Akihiko Yamabushi is a famous author currently working on a new novel. With a recent switch in editors, he’s been trying to feel out the new guy, Aiichiro Enomoto.
Something about him reminds Akihiko of a puppy dog. Maybe it’s the way he wags his theoretical tail when Akihiko praises his documents. Or maybe it’s the way he can only fathom being devoted to one person and one person only. It’s cute. To Akihiko, though, what’s not cute is when that ‘one person’ for Aiichiro ends up being the author himself! Maybe the young editor is confusing his admiration with love? Ugh, what a pain…
