Product Description
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.

 Simply delightful! I enjoy this one alot. December 4, 2007

This one is a pure delight. Mizuki is one cute and sweet uke. Forced to live in hiding in his brother's company dormitory, the young Mizuki finds himself cared for by 5 gorgeous guys, who considers him their "cat pet". Mizuki quickly assumes the role, cleaning after the guys to repay them for their kindness while searching for a job. All the little scenes here as Mizuki assumes the "maid" role are so cute.
Mizuki finds himself falling for Toru, one of the 4 guys who share the same 4th floor of the dorm with his brother. Toru, with his own unhappy secret, is closed-up and has difficulty getting along with anyone but he soon opens up to the earnest Mizuki. I love their confrontation and slowly evolving sweet love. 7 years separate them and their physique is of course the tall gorgeous seme and cute uke but they complement each other so nicely.
The interaction among the guys is well done, the story line amusing, light and "angsy". The other 3 guys' and Mizuki's own brother's care for and protectiveness over Mizuki, bordering on possessiveness, is comical but sometimes the romantic side of me wish these guys will give the "poor" couple a break. When Mizuki gets a job at a "girlie" bar, the consequences are just hilarious as the guys rush to his side.
As for the artwork, it is gorgeous with pages after pages of beautiful guys. There may only be a few pages of explicit sex but believe me you won't miss the sex in this one.
One of the Better Yaoi I've read January 24, 2008

I was a little worried that I wouldn't like this manga because although I like yaoi, I'm not a fan of the strict seme/uke roles and the occasional borderline rape that seems common place. Pet on Duty is extremely tasteful thoug. Mizuki is adorable and sweet and has a fairly believable personality. Toru is the standard seme, aloof and stoic (accept with his uke, of course). One thing that is interesting about Toru is that he doesn't have the standard aggression that one often sees from the seme, and in fact it is Mizuki who is the one pushing for something more physical. The sex scenes are brief and as someone else has stated most of the manga is devoted to the plot. It makes the more sexual scenes that much better because they aren't happening every other page. The drawing is absolutely wonderful. As someone who has only read a handful of yaoi, I could tell each of the characters apart, remember their names, and almost always tell who was speaking (this is not the case in other mangas). If you're looking for a smutfest this is maybe not the book for you, but if you're a fan of other shounen ai/yaoi mangas like FAKE and prefer quality, Pet on Duty is the manga for you.

this manga has an adorable plot line. unlike many being produced over here, the smut is actually at a minimum and almost the entire book is devoted to the plot line. not that im against short stories or anything but sometimes the little stories are longer then the one you bought the managa for.
its well drawn, and like i said before just cute. no evil guys, every charachter is like an loving mother each with a fun personality to the main character that is just stubborn and cute.

First of all, i am just a newbie to this kind of reading materials. But oh boy am i glad to get my hands on this one. The storyline and the artist's works are well done and amazing. If you want to read something light yaoi but has a really wonderful story in it. I highly recommended Nase Yamato's Pet on Duty. Its definitely worth your money.
