Why "Venus puts fur on me."

So, just because I thought it was kind of an odd translation/subtitle, I wanted to look into it a bit.

Best I could find was the novella Venus in Furs (German: Venus im Pelz) by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Apparently somewhat similar in its themes and dealing with s&m (i.e. bullying), even to the point where the male lead persists in asking for the female lead to degrade him. I presume that in the case of Ijimeru Yabai Yatsu, since the male and female roles are reversed, "Venus" is putting the furs on Nakajima instead of donning them herself (in other words, the role of bully is forced onto him by her, whereas she instead plays the bully in Sacher-Masoch's story. You can read more here on the Wikipedia page if interested.

I can't imagine anything else being the reasoning behind the title, but if it is the case it's kind of a cool niche piece of trivia.
