Story is by Ume Yamada, illustrator is Kotaro Kobayashi, (Sorry to call you on a hiragana, it happens to everyone.) It's not your fault, since Kobunsha apparently didn't bother to typeset the cover, going by the preview ebook I tracked down.

I've spent the past week reading Harada, so consent? Eh, who needs it. I've noticed that modern non-con generally reads like a parody of the BL of yesteryear. Considering the horrible, horrifying crap that happens in old fairy tales, it almost feels like it would be important to a faithful adaptation.

My own degraded morals aside, this sounds like a fun read. I'm an easy mark for wolf boys (obviously) and fairy tale parodies, so both at once? Yes, please. Especially with more, uh, happy endings... Laughing

Kachi-Kachi Mountain is the one story mentioned that I'm not familiar with, so thanks for the extra context. Ume Yamada has also done a dedicated volume of Japanese folklore parodies with a different illustrator, so I may need to check that one out as well.
