MeruPuri: Märchen Prince (Manga)

Well, this is my very first review... so bear with me! So let's start!...

Story: The story in my opinion was different from the regular shoujo/fantasy/romance setups. It was captivating from beginning to end... in fact... I didn't want it to EVER end. Everything was executed perfectly without any rushing nor dragging. When you can finish up a manga or anime and have that content feeling of satisfactory closure, but yet want more... you know the author did their job.

Art: What can I say... Matsuri Hino's art is freakin' incredible. Completely beautiful, soft, magical, and SEXY! She's the true definition of a Shoujo Mangaka. If I could ever have her commissioned to paint me something, I would die happy... 'nuff said!

Characters: I LOOOOVED the character development of Airi and Aram. Especially Aram. Neither of them were bland nor boring and you see the growth of the relationship at a strong and steady pace. Their relationship was the most endearing part of the story.

Enjoyment: I couldn't put it down. I just had to see what was gonna come next. That said... no need to go into how much I enjoyed it.

So, obviously overall... I gave it a 10. This manga is a real winner. In my humble opinion... the epitome of true shoujo romance. I pray for the day that this will be adapted to an anime... cause I would definitely watch it! read more

MeruPuri is one of my favorite manga. Personally I loved it from the first chapter and I finished in one day.
The story is the usual "girl meets boy and boy meets girl" and they have to go through adventures to be together. Actually it has little stories in it and together they make all the story. Though the main problem is the age difference xD
The art is great as expected from Hino Matsuri and anyone who has read Vampire Knight or Wanted know this . The thing that catches my eye when reading it is the eyes... always the eyes... She is one of my favorite mangaka.
The characters are developing steadily and there isn't any sudden change in them but they show in depth their feelings and thoughts and reactions until they finally realize their own heart . Though don't forget that this is "girl meets boy and boy meet girl" so what they finally decide isn't hard to guess.
And, of course, you will enjoy it thoroughly. It has so many funny, sad, upsetting, angry, frustrating moments that you won't stop changing feelings.
Overall, it deserves a 8 because it combines a love story with magic and adventures in a small story and that's my favorite kind.
Read it! read more
