Comment va-t-elle vivre l'éloignement ? Et que peut bien lui vouloir Shiori ? Les tourtereaux s'envolent dans le volume 13 !

Oh Sumire - you're so neurotic that you keep finding new things to worry about! This volume is good, and it's all leading in the right direction, but there were a few missteps for me - why did Hasumi have to have a side story about sexual assault and being demoted? Why did Fukushima have to come and talk to Sumire? Why did Sumire decide to give up her job for Momo? All were irrelevant, and the last one annoying - why couldn't she have asked to become freelance, rather than quitting and then having that offered to her? Arrgh!
Anyway... otherwise it was a good volume, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this story ends in the next and final volume!

4.5 stars. This series is coming together and the growth is really seen here and now in subtle ways when looking back. I love it.

WARNING: This review contains some spoilers so read at your own risk.
I first heard of this story when I stumbled upon a jdrama which was based on this manga a few years ago. I really find the idea of a person being someone else’s pet amusing. I know what you’re thinking, wahahaha. This one isn’t kinky at all, it was actually pretty wholesome.
Kimi wa pet is a story of Sumire who stumbled upon a box containing a young Takeshi. She fed him and found out that he had nowhere to go. Takeshi wants to stay, but he can only stay if he becomes her pet. Thinking that saying such preposterous things would discourage Takeshi, Sumire was surprised he agreed. Both of their lives after that encounter changed forever. Was it for good or bad?
This story started with introducing Sumire who I would say is a perfect example of a “strong independent woman”. That would have been a great thing right? Unfortunately because of it, her boyfriend of 5 years cheated on her and made her feel that it was all because of her that it had happened. She is also not that well liked in their office because she looks really stiff and strict. But her life took a turn after taking in Takeshi whom she’d named Momo, which was her dead pet’s name.
Kimi wa pet is quite a lengthy read for a josei so it includes a lot of scenes not only focusing about the relationship between the main characters but also about some of the side characters as well. And speaking of characters, this story has a lot of them so I find it hard to keep track of them sometimes. Just like most manga that I’ve read, Kimi wa pet has a lot of very funny scenes that left me laughing my heart out. Maannn! I still can’t stop myself from laughing just thinking about those scenes, lol.
Aside from the happy ones, Kimi wa pet had a lot of scenes that I really hated. Unfortunately this story contains one of the things I hate in romance, which is the third party. I just keep on hating the other girl that I also ended up hating the other love interest of Sumire as well. He was actually a pretty ideal guy and I love how he reacts to Sumire. You can really see how he adores her, plus they really look good together. He can be pretty funny too lol, just too bad he wasn’t able to keep that image for me until the end. Although I kind of pity him a little in the end.
As for the main character Sumire, I really liked my first impression of her. She’s a really tough chick and she doesn’t accept b*llsh*t. She can be really harsh at times but I guess that’s just how she is. Little by little, I’ve got to really see the real her and why she’s like that. She looks really tough but she can be fragile too. I really like her character, but I just hated how she can’t always voice out her real feelings and how she always delays informing her boyfriend about her pet, that in the end, I don’t think he ever found out. I also liked Momo’s influence on her, ever since they were living together as master and pet, Sumire was finally able to create connections with other people and express herself. I just find it really interesting getting to know her character in each chapter.
Momo on the other hand is very fun to read. I usually don’t like childish characters, but his childishness is not in an annoying way. He is also very outgoing so it’s hard to imagine those hardships he experienced in the past and in the present too. When he’s with Sumire, he’s very childish and playful which makes him look like a real pet dog, lol. He ran away from home. That’s why he doesn’t have a place of his own, so despite his age you could say that he knows a lot about life. I guess he also has this promiscuous side to him, but I think it was only seen around 2 times while I was reading this story. He’s years younger than Sumire but he taught her a lot of things. I also LOVE how he loves Sumire so much, I just can’t imagine how he’s been feeling all those times while Sumire is still in a relationship with her boyfriend, who is also her first love.
As for the romance, I guess it’s already pretty obvious who’s going to be the main couple right? There were a lot of annoying characters who really irritated me but I guess that just helps Sumire realize whom she really wants to be with. The hint is actually there in its early chapters, but I like how the mangaka transitioned her feelings until she finally realized that she’s in love. Their official relationship started in a long distance romance, but I love how the two of them made it work. I particularly like their virtual date, it was really cute. I also love the fact that the two of them didn’t sacrifice anything in their life just to make their relationship work, even though it could mean that they’ll be in a long distance relationship.
I also love the fact that this manga didn’t just end after the two of them were finally in a relationship but we’ve got to read more! It didn’t just focus on the relationship between the two but also the friendship between Sumire and her best friend. Actually, this manga didn’t just show me romance, but it also gave me life lessons and realizations that we could apply in our daily life. We’ve also got to read about friendships between the characters and work life (especially about relationships between coworkers). Isn’t that nice?
Kimi wa pet is highly recommended for every romance lover. I am certain that this will really entertain you, *wink.

The second to the last volume in Kimi Wa Petto (aka Tramps Like Us) is where the characters start to wrap up the stories.
There are a lot of reasons why I go with a 5-star on this volume. I like how Hasumi's behavior is handled. I like that Sumire and Takeshi end up putting the breaks on becoming lovers. Sumire gives a good reason that makes sense narratively. So many aspects of life (work, family, work friends) is touched on.
And I just realized that the Japanese wife-y smile is not utilized in this series. Not a big deal but it is nice realization that the author didn't use that trope.
Also, bonus to the Sumire's boss character. He's a dream boss. At each turn, he's the one who questions her at the right time as well as encourage her as a talented and accomplished person. He's the hidden MVP of the series.
There's humor and drama and everything in between. Just a fantastic volume that sets up the final volume near perfectly.

I love love love this series! I wasn't sure what to expect as I began reading but I was soon very pleasantly surprised with the depth of the characters, sweetness of the story, and the originality of this manga. Yes, the premise of the story is unusual and seems a bit weird at first but it's actually very sweet and full of heart. Read this manga series! 5 stars
Do be aware that this series is Josei and is kind of open door. It contains some language and generalizations that are wrong. But. . . overall this is a very sweet, emotionally deep, and cute story that I really enjoyed.

We are moving towards resolution and I like that. Stories are being wrapped. Nice.
I find hard to review each volume separately now because... I already read all of them and kinda lost track of what happened in each volume. But overall I really enjoy this series, it's different, I love the art style and the care for each episodic character is impressive too. I love how complex the characters are and I love to see them grow with each volume.

How Hasumi handled the break up made me really dis like him.
Okay I am loving that we get to see them together to build their life. They are seriously so cute. Also, Yuri! you know she is a worrier, why would you say that!!!
Oh and we got confirmation of the age difference not as bad as I initially thought. 29 her 22 him

This volume was actually interesting especially the last page BUT why is the threat of sexual assault such a big thing in this series?!? I swear it has happened over 5 times throughout :0

Am I touch deprived? Maybe because I was screeching every time they were in close proximity and I have no shame

Momo (Takeshi) goes to Belgium to study dance; Sumire misses him and has to make decisions about she's going to balance work and a long-distance relationship, while still missing Hasumi-sempai. Hasumi-sempai and Fukushima work things out, but they both hit rock-bottom first.
I like that Ogawa doesn't stint on the consequences of even an amicable break-up that was more or less desired by both parties, who could never manage to communicate but did care for each other; I like that the declaration of desire between Momo and Sumire doesn't solve everything. And I like that Sumire's work and work-ethic are respected and not slighted. (Masumi Tsuda, I am looking at you.)
One more volume. I hope it doesn't do a Kare Kano on me.

Great series! Obviously the whole pet and master thing is completely problematic. It's definitely a fluff read that probably isn't worth a heavy review.
In this series I did enjoy the protagonist Sumire. She deals with problems many women can relate to. Juggling work with everything else in life and also trying to figure out what she wants out of her future, whether she's okay moving, quitting her job, starting a family. She's tall, amazonian, and mighty. She can be tough as nails when she needs to but in the privacy of her own home she lets out her frustrations.
Going back to the pet and master thing... so problematic.. ahh.

This series has gone from being silly to surprisingly deep. The main characters have made slow but believable changes in their approach to life. An unusually intelligent manga series.

I am in love with this manga!
