But I had forgotten that Usui was only from a short story (I was thinking it was like, half the volume?).
It's the first two chapters (plus a short extra) in a book with 5 chapters, so not quite half the volume.
feel sorry for him because he's kind of in love with a jerk
He's totally in love with a jerk! But he's so happy with the sex, I can't feel bad for him. It's like he has no need for any emotional validation in the relationship at all...yet I see these guys together 20 years from now, Usui still denying he's in a homosexual relationship and Masuoka still radiating pheromones. (Frankly, Usui is such a jerk I could see him getting married and insisting to his bride that Masuoka has to live with them..."but I'm totally not gay.")
Imai is an SM porno book author who likes to dress his boyfriend (slash childhood friend, "Akkun") in costumes for writing inspiration, often accompanied by hilarious fantasies.
And he does this for 4 volumes? Or does each volume in the Inu Koi series focus on a different pairing? Why didn't I buy this when I was getting everything else by Natsumizu Ritsu?
