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.

what a good breakup scene! just the two of them quietly and tearfully acknowledging that they can't continue their relationship. i actually felt like it was a better expression of sumire and hasumi's love than i'd seen in the past half dozen volumes, like you could see how much they cared and were heartbroken over having to end things. dunno how i'm feeling about the sumire/momo developments. on the one hand obviously i ship it, have for awhile now but. that was in the context of their weird and lovely pet dynamic. it's a shame ogawa's decided that their developing their relationship further meant making them more normative like i guess that's one way to do it but...

Finally! We get some major forward momentum, and major changes. This is what we have been waiting 12 volumes for! Sumire and Hasumi realize they are just not meant for each other, and Sumire takes charge this time.
I rather like seeing how she can latterly kick ass, and how she is great at her job, but when it comes to saying no to a friend, coworker or loved one she can't. She is such a real character with her flaws and emotions.
I am really excited to see how this moves forward in the next two volumes now!

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.

Volume 12 was great - we really got to see Sumire's confusion about her relationship with Hasumi, Hasumi realises that he cares for Fukushima, and Momo confesses his love for Sumire. Relationships crumbled, and now with Momo leaving for Belgium, Sumire has to come to terms with her feelings for Momo and his absence.
A great volume, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where this series will end!

There is just so much in this volume that get to me. Takeshi with his father. Sumire and her conflictedness about Hasumi. The 'pet' situation finally being put to rest and the way it happens. Sumire and Hasumi coming to terms about their future. It is melancholy and bittersweet. We are heading to the end (only two volumes left) and it is in this volume that the pieces start to fall into place.

THINGS ARE FINALLY CHANGING!
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.

Big feels in this one. There was a lot of honesty going around by our love triangle and I am not mad at any of it. I am honestly a little surprised the next volume isn't our last based on the ending of this one. But I am here for a happily ever after.

Review chapter 66
Waduh cewek plin-plan iniiii.... Sebenarnya mau dilema sampai kapaaannn sih???? Sebenarnya di vol 3-5 itu udah kerasa bgt cewek ini aduhai bgt plin-plannya. Ini udah 12 vol masiiihh aja blm bisa mutusin siapa yg dia cintai. Padahal jawabannya udah gitu jelas non!!! Dgn siapa kamu merasa paling nyaman dan bisa jadi diri sendiri, dgn siapa kamu ingin bersama ketika dunia ini kiamat.
Senpai-mu itu cuma ibarat dreams come true, dearrr. Begitu indahnya sampai kalo dilepas rasanya ga rela ya...soalnya cinta pertama sih... Sudah ngomong mau berusaha jadi diri sendiri di dpn senpai tapi kok cuma niat aja, usahanya tdk ada....
Omg, aku paling lelah baca kisah heroine model gini. Tipe cerita begini harusnya ya cuma 4-5 vol udah cukup deh... sampe 14 vol itu udah bertele-tele bgt krn masalah utama ga pernah ada solusinya selama 12 vol, curiga ini bakal baru ada solusi di vol 14? Kuharap di vol 13 udah sadar lah cewek bloon yg lbh parah dari Bella ini. Rating seri ini naik turun bintangnya, dari 5 ke 4 ke 3 gara-gara ga tahan dgn cewek ini.
Yg ga suka tipe heroine gini ga direkomendasiin baca seri ini. Tadinya kukira dia bakal udah milih Momo di vol 4-5 gitu trus kukira juga plot ceritanya bakal berlanjut tentang masalah yg dihadapi mrk berdua yg menantang kedalaman cinta mrk berdua, tapi ternyata bukan... Selama 12 vol si heroine ini galau-galau ria. Kalo lagi ga fokus di romance dia dan cowoknya, ceritanya biasanya kukasi 4 stars. Tapi klo dia uda mulai dilema akut, 3 stars. Sori, muak daku dgn heroine kek gini. Makanya aku utk sementara stop baca novel YA M/F/M gara-gara ini..suka ada episode galau milih yg mana.
Review chapter 69
Buset dah cewek ini. Setelah nampak foto cowoknya gandengan dgn cewek lain itu dia ga pake confirm dulu kebenarannya ke cowoknya tapi langsung main putus. Where's the trust??? Tanya dulu kek. Padahal cowonya setia gitu biarpun dikejar2 dan dipaksa supaya terima cewek lain itu sebagai 'peliharaannya', at least dia ga pernah mcm2 ato nyentuh cewek lain itu. Lalu tiba2 heroine kita ini pun ngaku klo dia bohongin diri sendiri juga selama ini ke cowoknya. Dan minta putus. Dgn lihainya dia tdk mengaku klo dia punya peliharaan juga yaitu Momo di rumah. Wew. Klo dibilang yg paling berdosa dan bersalah di sini tuh kamu, non. Mainin hati org, sampe segitu lama pula.. Makanya sudah kubilang tipe cerita gini lbh bgs klo pendek dan singkat aja, dan lbh bgs klo tdk berlarut2 dilemanya, di awal2 seri harusnya udah milih salah satu krn yg bohong gini ga bakal bisa disembunyiin terus2an.

Volume 12 is a cliff hanger that shook things up a bit! Relationships are all topsy-turvy - what is Sumire going to do now that the playing field (and the players!) has changed so dramatically? Or is it that they have become more true to type? Maybe a bunch of wrongs do make a right? Just what is Sumire looking for in a man, anyway?
And what's up with Sumire's sister, Akane? There's a subplot there, and only two volumes left in which to resolve it! ;)

I'm a little on the fence, as I don't quite like where the series is going in terms of gender dynamics, but I like other bits.
