Akihiko Usami as novelist and partner

Talented, wealthy, and emotionally intense, Akihiko can be possessive and immature despite his professional success. His fear of abandonment is connected to a distant family life and years of unreturned love for Takahiro Takahashi.

Possessiveness, family, and Misaki

Akihiko writes both literary fiction and popular boys' love novels, sometimes using people around him as inspiration. His relationship with Misaki gradually pushes him to communicate more honestly, while conflicts with his family and editor expose the insecurity behind his confident public image.
