If you’re a girl looking for a man who will keep you company anytime you want, go to movies you want to see, shop with you and even take you on a romantic dinner, then you will love the recently popular South Korean trend of adopting a “Pet Boy”.
Pet Boys, who are often college kids in their 20’s, find “Being someone’s pet is stress free job with no financial burden at all.” The idea came from a Japanese anime story that was popular about 5 years ago. It was about a business woman who always had bad luck in relationships. One day, she decided to take home a young man off the street to live with her as her pet.
The trend is expected to spread throughout Asia in the near future.
The manga/anime which this concept was based on was Kimi wa Petto (You’re my pet). I watched it sometime last year as a live action drama and not as an anime.

At this moment, I just wish that I were in Japan right now. The Tokyo Anime Fair 2008 event is happening where lots of anime and major Japanese TV channel and studios promote Anime. There are a lot of new stuff around the anime world in Japan. A new Macross series and Hokuto No Ken. If your a fan of Lupin the 3rd, there is a new movie coming out.
