{{Nihongo|Tramps Like Us|きみはペット|Kimi wa Petto|{{lit|You're A Pet}}|lead=yes}} is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by {{ill|Yayoi Ogawa|ja|小川彌生}}. It is about Sumire, a young professional woman who takes in a younger man as a pet, and her attempts to keep her coworkers and conventionally perfect boyfriend from finding out about her pet. It also deals with the romantic attraction between Sumire and her pet.
It was serialized by Kodansha and was released in 14 volumes between 2000 and 2005, with an additional side-story volume being released in 2002. The volumes, barring the side-story volume, were published in English and German by Tokyopop, in French by Kurokawa and in Italian by Star Comics. The manga was adapted to a TV drama series that aired in Japan on TBS in 2003, and a South Korean film in 2011. The manga is adapted to a second, reboot, TV drama series aired on Fuji TV in 2017 with a new cast.
Plot
{{See also|List of Tramps Like Us characters}}
{{Nihongo|Sumire Iwaya|巌谷 澄麗|Iwaya Sumire}}, a journalist at a major newspaper, is a career woman in a society that does not handle successful women well. Sumire suffers from depression and anxiety. She also has hobbies that are very un-feminine, such as smoking, being a fan of pro wrestling, K-1, and anime.
After her fiancé leaves her for his mistress and Sumire is demoted at work, she stumbles across a young injured homeless man in a box outside her condominium. She takes him in and becomes attached to him. As a joke, she says she wants to keep him as a pet. To her surprise, the young man agrees. She names him {{Nihongo|Momo|モモ|}}, after her beloved dog from childhood. Sumire provides room and board, and Momo provides unconditional love and loyalty. Sumire says there is no sex in their relationship, and she will only sleep with men who have the "three highs": higher pay, higher education and higher height (i.e. taller than her 170 cm.) Despite this, there is definite sexual tension in their relationship.
Sumire later learns that Momo's real name is {{Nihongo|Takeshi Gouda|合田 武志|Gōda Takeshi}}, and that he is a dance prodigy who studied classical ballet but was too short to take the lead roles. He switched to modern dance, and lived a semi-homeless life before meeting Sumire. When it is revealed that he and Sumire know one another, Momo passes himself off as Sumire's second cousin.
Complications arise when Sumire is reunited with the man with whom she was infatuated during her time at Tokyo University, {{Nihongo|Shigehito Hasumi|蓮實 滋人|Hasumi Shigehito}}. Hasumi meets all of Sumire's requirements. However, Sumire cannot quite open up to Hasumi-senpai, or give up her attachment to Momo. For example, Sumire lets Momo call her by her personal name, while she struggles to let Hasumi call her "Iwaya" instead of "Iwaya-san." Takeshi (a.k.a. Momo) starts to have feelings for Sumire as well and they began to have feelings that go way beyond those of a pet and its Master.
When Hasumi meets Momo, he recognizes Momo's face but cannot put a name to him. When Hasumi does some research on Iwaya-san's so-called cousin, he discovers that Takeshi was a child ballet prodigy and becomes friends with him. Takeshi, of course, has to keep the fact that he is also "Momo" to himself, even when Hasumi repeatedly brings up the topic of Sumire's pet in their conversations. Although, at times he changes personalities; something is up with Momo!

Originally, Momo was meant to have a much more animal-like personality, and Ogawa considers him one of her easiest characters to draw, describing his character type as being one of her 'stock characters'.{{Cite book|last=Ogawa|first=Yayoi|title=Tramps Like Us|volume=14|chapter=The History of Tramps Like Us - Complete Chronology of Tramps|date=13 February 2008|publisher=TokyoPop |isbn=978-1-59816-876-1}}{{Page needed|date=September 2010}}

{{Main|List of Tramps Like Us chapters}}
The chapters of Tramps Like Us were written and illustrated by Yayoi Ogawa. The series first appeared as a single chapter work, named Pet, that appeared in the June 2000 issue of Kiss Carnival, where it ran for four chapters. It was then transferred to Kiss later in 2000 where it ran until 2005. It was renamed to Kimi wa Pet after the fifth chapter.
The 82 chapters, called "Rules", were collected and published in 14 bound volumes by Kodansha between December 2000 and December 2005.{{cite web|url=http://shop.kodansha.jp/bc2_bc/search_view.jsp?b=3259188 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031105033540/http://shop.kodansha.jp/bc2_bc/search_view.jsp?b=3259188 |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 5, 2003 |script-title=ja:きみはペット(1) |publisher=Kodansha |language=ja |access-date=August 13, 2009 }}{{cite web|url=http://shop.kodansha.jp/bc2_bc/search_view.jsp?b=3405710 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060113205310/http://shop.kodansha.jp/bc2_bc/search_view.jsp?b=3405710 |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 13, 2006 |script-title=ja:きみはペット(14) |publisher=Kodansha |language=ja |access-date=August 13, 2009 }} An additional volume called {{Nihongo|Kimi Wa Pet The Best|きみはペット THE BEST}} was released in October 2002.{{cite web|url=http://shop.kodansha.jp/bc2_bc/search_view.jsp?b=3375064 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031105040214/http://shop.kodansha.jp/bc2_bc/search_view.jsp?b=3375064 |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 5, 2003 |script-title=ja:きみはぺットTHE BEST |publisher=Kodansha |language=ja |access-date=August 14, 2009 }} In early 2004, "Supplement: Kimiwa Pet" was included as a free extra with Kiss.

Sumire enjoys both her job and her romance with Hasumi, unlike depictions of female characters in the 1980s and 1990s. Women, and therefore, female characters, have begun to change their ideal of a husband, from the "three highs" (tall, high income, well-educated) to seeking a more "comfortable, cooperative, and compatible" sort of a man.
Hasumi is said to represent the former, and Momo the latter kind of a man, making it significant that eventually, Sumire chooses Momo.{{Cite book|last=Saeki|first=Junko|title=A new Japan for the twenty-first century: an inside overview of current fundamental changes and problems|editor=Segers, Rien T.|publisher=Routledge|year=2008|series=Routledge contemporary Japan series|volume=21|pages=163–165|chapter=Beyond the geisha stereotype - Changing images of 'new women' in Japanese popular culture|isbn=978-0-415-45311-0}} Ed Chavez, reviewing the first volume, described Sumire's 'needy nature' as being easy to relate to,{{cite web|url=http://www.mania.com/tramps-like-aka-kimi-wa-pet-vol01_article_82482.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004182251/http://www.mania.com/tramps-like-aka-kimi-wa-pet-vol01_article_82482.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-10-04 |title=Tramps like Us (aka: Kimi wa Pet) Vol. #01 |publisher=Mania.com |access-date=2010-11-25}} but found her frustratingly "emotionally weak and self-destructive" by the sixth volume, much preferring to see her 'kicking ass'.{{cite web|url=http://www.mania.com/tramps-like-aka-kimi-wa-pet-vol06_article_82268.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081204162855/http://www.mania.com/tramps-like-aka-kimi-wa-pet-vol06_article_82268.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2008-12-04 |title=Tramps like Us (aka: Kimi wa Pet) Vol. #06 |publisher=Mania.com |access-date=2010-11-25}}
George Galuschak, writing for Kliatt found that 'certain aspects of Sumire and Momo's relationship creeped [Galuchack] out', although he described the first volume overall as being a 'funny, entertaining read'.{{cite news| url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0PBX/is_6_38/ai_n7180021/ | work=Kliatt | title=Ogawa, Yayoi.
