Reviews for Pet Diary

Sorry if this review is a little bit "unprofessional" because this is my first review and my English isn't that good... Ps: i am doing this in IPad so there is a chance that autocorrect is doing stupid and things ~story~ The story is about four teenagers Thatcher go to a school where you neer to care for a pet. This can provider some funny situations, but it isn't very a vivacious and emotional story. ~art~ The art is cute and funny but a little bit simplistic. ~character~ A crybaby, witch, nerd and bully... Do i have to tell more? ~enjoyment~ I pretty liked it. :)Well that was it... Hope you liked it

Pet Diary is more of an educational manhwa, in my opinion. The art is good with few very beautifully drawn paintings (such as the "witch and cat" artwork of Bo Ra and Nero. However, while the setting and characters are well defined, there isn't much progress. Each chapter is quite episodic and the sudden jump from freshmen (beginning) to seniors (end) is messy and almost feels nonexistent. The characters are well defined with unique traits, but they do not progress much, if at all. Bit Na has the most character development, in my opinion, as she learns a lot about how to care for animals, andgoes through numerous events which help to develop her individuality and maturity. Meanwhile, other characters such as the student body president, despite having an obvious major-minor character role, stay virtually the same from beginning to end.

While I do think the storyline was very lacking, each chapter was interesting to read, and the author's (and artist's) little lessons were very informative, especially for pet owners (or future pet owners). I feel that if the story left off as just another event in the day of the students' lives (and not post-graduation), then perhaps the story would have flowed a bit better.
