Review and rating for entire series (14 volumes)

A rare josei gem! I enjoyed every chapter of this amazingly well-spun tale. It is real, heart-warming, and unique! Older woman meets younger man. Both have much to learn from each other. Even the secondary characters are developed with care and detail, with complete personalities, motivations, desires, etc.

The psychology is wonderfully insightful and each character's development alone and together is like a beautifully flowering blossom. (And don't forget a lovely dose of realistic angst!) What a relief to find a long josei series I can fall in love with!

My complaints are a mere two wee squeak: Why can't josei titles have sex scenes (especially when the build up involves INCREDIBLE, SLOWLY BURNING intensity!) that are as explicit as an intense sex scene in a well-done BL? And the English license title is HORRIBLE. My Pet Momo or You Are My Pet? Sensational!

I really devoured this one, I thought it was excellent in the way that it was so addicting. It has been a while since I've read something so quickly. I thought this was a pretty good story in the way that it was structured, I agree with others that it had excellent pacing and did not focus just solely on the romance like other shoujos tend to do. I do have some qualms with this though, mainly one is Other than these issues, I thought the characters were well developed, I didn't really get bored of the manga while reading it and it was addicting. So overall it is pretty good.

I loved the overall story but HATED one of the female characters! She just ruined the entire thing for me. I think the other lead male got a bullcrap ending, but others think it's sweet... -_-

I thought it's a good josei because of the nice ratings it gets from readers so I started reading it. I have to agree that the story was quite addicting to read from vol 1-3 but it went downhill for me on the next volumes. I guess it lost its appeal when Anyway I still recommend this to all josei readers out there because it has all the elements that a josei reader would love (ie Experienced characters, complicated relationships, multiple sexual experience etc.)

i rarely pick up a Josei series, so the good titles are being left out. I am choosy at romance series, i really hate it when main girls gets picked up by a lot of guys so i stayed away on so many shoujo and josei and dark seinen. although this one has some of those, the guys never really lasted for alot of pages or has become an important part of the story.

it has it good moments although i wish more of

oh on that last chapter,

Sooo, I started reading manga about a year ago, I always saw this and avoided it, since it seemed pretty boring...soo today I saw this on my wish list and decided to read this(was sorta in the mood I quess).So I read the first chapter and it was really good, then I read the second and yep, just as good;then I read the third and....hmm its kinda boring but ok....then the forth, my thoughts are, ok thus is getting a little boring now.I then got to the eighth with some skimming....I've now decided to give it a break.I'm thinking that maybe this is because I'm reading this in bed...


Edit:So, it didn't improve but I was ok with that but then volume 7 kicks in and the translations picture quality gets shit and the chapters get cut to 15 pages....from their I skimmed through it, and I finally realised that I was on volume 11 already and....nothing had really happened that was worth 11 volumes..I mean literally no development was made between the owner and the pet.


I have to say, I loved the pet, but really thus hangs went downhill from volume 1...I wouldn't waste your time because their really isn't any romance and the way the charters act can sometimes be very retarded...

It felt way too drawn out for me. Not much happens that's worth 14 volumes. Better than the length of Hana Yori Dango, but that's not saying much.

I really want to like it, and it's nice, but... too long for the content it contains.

At first I thought this was going to be like one of those typical manga with typical characters but boy was I wrong! This manga is like really fabulous >.< I swear I love this like crazy, it satisfied my day.

The characters are very distinct and the two protagonist had an unbreakable bond where one was able to fully trust each other. No massive jealousy misunderstanding that one can find in a typical manga.

This is definitely a worth it manga to those who love a strong heroine but falls weak before the people she trust and to those who believe that even the third character deserved happiness.

Well, I thought this was done by the same person who did Happy Mania ( Moyoko Anno) because the art looking quite similar on the covers, and I really disliked that story. (Intensely) to the point in which, I had been avoiding Tramps Like Us (Kimi Wa Pet) manga for 6 years years, thinking it was done by the same person. And I never bothered to clarify.

But, lets just say, getting volumes 1 and 2 for $0.25 cents (in United States Currency) at a used book sale, I finally started to reluctantly read this series out of boredom. (There is not much manga I have not read already released in America, so I go over to ones I've skipped all these years) But, to say the least, I really I loved it when I actually did give it a try!
I am so glad I finally started reading this series.
And I hope to get further volumes soon!
