Mizuki just lost his job. Without money or a place to live, he has no choice but to stay with his older brother in his company dorm room. Since non-employees aren't allowed in the dorms, Mizuki must live there in secret like a house cat. At first he’s intimidated by his older brother’s roommate Toru, but seeing a softer side of Toru changes his opinion. Toru treats Mizuki well, but Mizuki wants to become more than a pet companion in this sophisticated homoerotic manga by one of the genre’s superstars.
Put your trust in this title...it's a fun read! I like to indulge in yaoi from time-to-time, but usually I find it too campy or bland (or predictable) in plot to digest to the point of annoyance. So when I wanted to get a good boy's love manga into my library I surfed the reviews and decided to place my bet on this one. This was a pleasant surprise and purchase. The main character is extremely 'uke' in some areas and surprisingly NOT in others. I think other readers will find the few personality twists in this book enjoyably addictive. The rest of the cast in this book are funny to read about with Mizuki and Toru being a bittersweet combination. Even the guys from the upper-level dorms are hilarious in the few bits that they're shown involving owning cats in the place.
The story is dramatic, but still keeps a lot of light-hearted moments in it so that the relationship builds up realistically enough (given the fact that it's only one volume long). So you won't be investing a ton of time or money into this read. It's a fast-paced, cute, and hot little manga that's now being passed around to my other friends with "TWO THUMBS UP!!" as the overall response when returned. And my fellow readers are individuals who are into titles with strong character archetypes (Wallflower, Skip Beat, Princess Resurrection, etc...). In short, I think a great deal of individuals looking for a good yaoi manga to indulge in will find themselves satiated by PET ON DUTY.
Cute story! I really enjoyed Pet on Duty. I've re-read it several times and it has yet to get old. Mizuki (uke) is someone with no luck at jobs who just wants to be independent. Kudou (seme) is a work-a-holic with a secret. When the two meet, there is clear chemistry between the two.
Pet on Duty does have a couple yaoi-type scenes, but for the most part, the manga concentrates more on plot then smut. If you want a manga to read with good characters and good plot, this is the manga for you.
Sooo Cute This manga is absolutely adorable with a very cute uke. The story is very funny and will definitely brighten your day!
hmm this wasn't a bad one. if all you want is sex then this isn't the one for you. really nothing happens but it is a cute story nonetheless. if you want to read something cute then you might like this one.
Nice and sappy sweet Sometimes you want men who look like men and sometimes you might be in the mood for a cute uke. This one has the cutie uke, cat ears and all. Mizuki needs a place to stay so he lives with his brother in his dorm (seems like an apartment to me though, translation differences). He becomes the "Pet" of the floor with all of the floor mates bringing him gifts of food, one even gets him a cat toy. If you are looking for a sweet story with both parties knowing what they want (sort of) then this is for you. There are a few intimates kissing and groping scenes but nothing really graphic, even the one time near the end isn't really graphic either.
