MeruPuri, Vol. 1

MeruPuri by Matsuri Hino was a fun distraction while I wait for the 11th installment of Vampire Knight. I really liked this high fantasy and the artwork is just as magical as Hino’s other series. Great story line and fun dialog. Definitely a manga I will continue to read.Airi Hoshina is a freshman in high school and she already has her heart set on finding the right guy that she will someday marry and build a life with. But suddenly her dreams are disrupted when an event of fairytale proportio [...]

This maybe deserves 3 stars simply because the art is so beautiful (that mangaka REALLY knows how to draw eyes), but I didn't particularly like the story. A young prince (elementary school age) is somehow zapped into our world and ends up living with a high school girl named Ari, who dreams of getting married and having a family. Aram (the prince), falls in love with her, but is too young for her. However, he's got a curse that sometimes turns him into a young man of about the same age as her, s [...]

Airi Hoshino is a romantic. Not only is it her goal to marry the man of her dreams, she truly believes that if she arrives at school for, on time, for two years, the magic mirror she inherited will grant her wish to marry her true love. When not watching romantic dramas, Airi dreams about her prince and vows to keep her first kiss just for him. However, all of that changes when Aram emerges from her mirror. Aram is a prince from a magical kingdom who was thrust into the mirror by his faithful se [...]

I can see that this series is very popular. And maybe it gets better as it goes on, but it's just not hitting the right notes with me. I just wasn't having fun reading it. The art is very nice, I will admit that.

So, in terms of art this manga was quite good. I think the artist got better in Vampire Knight though. The plot wasn't too out of it either like some manga's are but I wouldn't say it's super interesting, just enough to keep me reading but not altogether satisfying me.

I haven't read manga in a REALLY long time. So it took me a minute to get back into the reading the book backwards. I wasn't sure where I wanted to start, there are sooo many great mangas, new and old, out there. I ended up reading MeruPuri because I had told my daughters (huge manga fans) that I need to find some to read for a challenge I signed up for. Next thing I know there's a pile of books next to my computer. They can be very helpful when they want to be. :)I have to say I really enjoyed [...]

I cannot tell you how many times I've re-read this series. I've had this manga since 2004 I believe. It's honestly been ten years, and I still pick it up at least three or more times per year, and re-read it. To me, it's that good.I adore Matsuri Hino, I think her artwork is beautiful, as well as her storytelling. I fell in love with Vampire Knight after this series, and it's so sad because this was her first real work, and it was better, in my opinion than Vampire Knight! I just wish she could [...]

Airi is obsessed with falling in love, getting married, and starting a family. She follows a strict punctuality schedule in the hopes that the longer she's on time, the better her boyfriend will be. She carries around a special mirror made even more special because it's a door to another dimension - and the young prince Aram travels through it! Full of beautiful artwork, MeruPuri is a treat to read.Except for the awkward relationship developing between high school freshman Airi and nine-year-old [...]

este es uno de esos mangas que podrian considerarse "clasicos" creo que a todo el mundo le sonara de algo este manga, sobre todo si son fans de esta autora, tambien conocida por "Wanted!" o la mundialmente conocida serie "Vampire Knight".Ahora vamos a la historia en si misma: Un principe caprichoso que crece cada vez que esta en un lugar oscuro.Una adolescente que desea vivir un romance con el honbre perfecto.Si todo esto lo mezclamos con magia, humor, amor, un dibujo precioso y unos personajes [...]

Super cute! Super cute!

Review for the whole series with slight spoilers!Review:Are you aching for the sweetest, prettiest, cutest, most awwww-whorty fairy tale that just makes you squeal on basically every second page? Then look no further, MeruPuri is the only remedy you will ever find to suffice! I can’t hold back on praising this series to the skies, I loved loved loved this!Although spanning only 4 volumes, the length is just perfect in the sense that there is no opportunity to become boring or stretched out wit [...]

Okay this book gives the impression that the author wrote in a character that the readers(mostly compromised of girls) could put be in the main girl character, airi. In her shoes, she has to cope with a kindergarten age- prince who chases her around but it's worth it; she gets to be wooed by a hot teenage guy when he gets into the dark. Though the age changing pattern was more creative, I personally didn't find anything that special about this manga The humor was on average, and despite the girl [...]

The artwork is without a doubt beautiful, but the story is sort of basic. Overly romantic, overly 'humorous', and without much depth. It's cute for sure but in a world of Shojo this one sort of feels like all the others. I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that I just can't get into most Shojo manga anymore.

Overall, typical shoujo manga. Art style is pretty solid and well done. Plot is simplistic at best and requires some leaps of faith, especially in the first few chapters. The ending is a tad bit abrupt. Still, it has the necessary romantic elements to make you squeal and is overall a fun, if not intellectually challenging read.

3 Stars.Really cute! :D I like the blend of magic and comedy, and the characters are a lot of fun to read about. Also like that this is a short and sweet series (only four volumes!) so hoping to finish the full series over the weekend.

Interesting story and fun characters! I can't wait to see what happens! Such a unique jump between worlds!

Really conflicted about the age difference between the two main characters. It's what6 years? Which isn't a big deal for adultsbut they aren't. So, yes, not sure how I feel.

Bien trop niais pour moi mais je reconnais l'attrait de l'histoire !

An absolute favorite series of mine! I have both paperback and electronic copies. Love the artwork!!

Really cute. Typical Shojo Beat.

Cuuute! I love Aram childishness :P

Pending.
