Souichirou Yabe

Souichirou Yabe plays a pivotal supporting role as the responsible editor overseeing the work of sensual fiction writer Horie Hanasaki. His frequent visits—and occasional overnight stays—at the notorious 'Erotic Palace' residence stem from his persistent efforts to chase down manuscripts. Through these repeated encounters, he developed a close bond with the heroine Aoching, even taking on the role of her personal tutor at one point. A graduate of the prestigious T University, Yabe combines sharp intellect with a composed, professional demeanor and an intimate understanding of the Horie household's dynamics. His presence inevitably stirred feelings of jealousy and unease in the male protagonist Kijima, adding a compelling layer of romantic tension to the story.
