I found this fair-condition softcover at a local secondhand book store. It's a light novel with a few illustrations, and with a yaoi storyline - though it takes the unusual twist of having a hapless salaryman stranded on a desert island with his much-hated - and significantly obese - mama's-boy of a boss. Rather a switch from the usual stunningly-gorgeous-guys-who-are-instantly-attracted setup, right?
That said, I found the story OK but not great - perhaps because both characters had lots of unlikable traits that they each had to get over, and perhaps because I wasn't very titillated by the author's pet fetishes {wry grin}. It was good to see the guys learning to work together, but even after their rescue it wasn't clear whether the mama's-boy was really ready to defy his mother for the sake of his new love.
The follow-on story "Present" appealed to me a bit more than the main story, as it dealt with the couple's adjustments to their new life together; even then, some of the misunderstandings were a bit much for my taste.
[There's a short TV Tropes page on the novel.]
