Un volumen bastante dèbil
August 13, 2019
First half sucked. I hate filler with a passion. Butt he second half was pretty great. I always love me some angst.

On a roll with this series and I'll probably finish all 14 volumes by Monday and back to work.
I have some mixed feelings about this volume. I really like the almost standalone chapters where Sumire and Takeshi/Momo go to the inn and meet the two children who want to see a mermaid. However, the opening chapter which is a follow up to the end of the previous volume's last chapter is a little weak. Yet, it somehow fits the up-and-down of Sumire and Takeshi/Momo.
There is fun in this volume but also the hints of what is not healthy in Sumire's relationships with Momo and Hasumi. I don't like Shiori but the flaw of Sumire's passiveness inches the door open for a better chance at Hasumi.
It is a bit clumsier in presentation but given that the characters all seem clumsy and dysfunctional, it oddly works.

I'm going to stick with three, cause even though I enjoyed Momo's ballet, the hot springs plot bothered me when Kairi almost strangled Ann. I also do not like how Sumire is keeping so many secrets from Hasumi. Lastly, I also feel parts of the plot are moving too fast to really be either appreciated or much other than filler. Overall, I do still like the series enough to continue.

The chapters with the mermaids was... a strange detour, but this volume was really engaging. I felt that the tension's starting to rise again, and where the plot wasn't developed, there was humour. A good volume.

Feels like nothing much is happening in the last 2-3 volumes or so. Still very enjoyable and fun but not the "I need next volume asap cause I can't stop reading now" vibe there was in the beginning.

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.

So to be really frank--I hated the first half of this volume. It took me several tries just to attempt to get through the mermaid opening chapter because it was the most out-of-place boring filler, I've ever read in a manga series. But once I got through that--the story about Hasumi going to Hong-Kong and Shiori confessing-- the volume got much better. The two chapters in the volume that were my favorites were "Her Point of View" and "A Soft Cage". I really liked seeing the other characters; perspectives and opinions of Sumire. To say the least, was definitely interesting to read.
Personally, I'm getting tired of Sumire stringing Hasumi along, especially when it's pretty clear how she feels about Momo. As for, Momo and Rumi--I feel bad over how Rumi is treated (by Momo, particularly). I really hope Sumire can admit to herself soon and let Hasumi go. It's painful to watch her lie to him over and over and treat him as her second choice. He seems like a very genuine person and deserves so much better. I'm not happy with the stagnancy of Sumire's character. I want more development in that regard.
Otherwise, this volume was lukewarm for me. The only reason, I'm giving this a 3-star instead of 4 is because other than the Hong-Kong storyline; essentially, nothing moved forward. I want to see more of the storyline fleshed out. Momo and Sumire can't stay like this, in romantic purgatory, pining forever. Sumire needs to make up her mind. It's becoming uncomfortable to read.

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.

It was nice, lots of emotions and I am kinda rooting for the secondary characters because i want my mains to just get together!!
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.

This volume showed a lot of the cracks of this relationship and how the lack of honesty and communication puts all the relationships in tough spots. The mermaid side story was fine but not necessary. I thought momo was honest but now I’m thinking he wants more from them. Still interesting.

More drama more romance:)

Sumire can physically kick a dude’s ass but can’t tell anyone how she feels about anything…. Lol

Nice volume! The first half was MEH but i liked the second half more especially because of ballet Momo hihi!

First half was boring, second half was quite interesting 🤷 as feared from the last volume things are getting brushed over which is a shame

I totally loved this volume. The art is so suited to the story and creates the mood perfectly.

Sadly, this looks like the last in this series I'll be able to read.
It seems as if my library got rid of all of this series and the only reason this one's still in the system is that it's currently checked out by me...
So for the record, I love this series, and I'm not stopping because I want to!

Still good but I was hoping for a little more character growth from the leading lady. I don't like it when the story gets slowed down and very little gets resolved. Though, this volume was saved by the mermaid story and Momo's character growth. The last chapter felt like a distraction from the main story, but I'm sure it'll tie in.

Volume starts with chapter 25: Pet's Condition.
Sumire wakes up to Momo not being there. In fact he's at his dance class. More squabbles in between and Momo says he wants to move out. Why am I telling you this? Go read it yourself!
