MeruPuri – The Marchen Prince – Manga Preview

MeruPuri - The Marchen Prince

After enjoying Full Moon wo Sagashite, I was hoping to find another shoujo manga that might be a good read. Does MeruPuri – The Marchen Prince pass the Basugasubakuhatsu shoujo manga test?

Summary:
MeruPuri begins with a prince from another world, Aram, escaping from some kind of spell his brother has cast on him. He gets teleported into this world through a mirror belonging to Hoshina Airi. Luckily, the mirror is not in her pocket while he’s being teleported… When she realizes that she dropped her mirror on her way to school, she comes back to find Aram holding it.

On her way back home from school, Aram is still where she left him. Being the crazy schoolgirl that she is, Airi decides to take Aram into her house… Aram watches tv (specifically, J-Dorama and Anime), takes a bath with Airi (WTF!?) and even sleeps with her! Not since the REC anime have I seen such fast moving main man! And Aram’s only a kid!

Review:
Not much has happened in the first chapter of MeruPuri plot-wise, so I guess I’ll have to see where it goes. I will say, though, that it seems highly unlikely that a girl would take some random kid into her house, give him a bath, and let him sleep in the same room as her. Sure, Airi is lonely and Aram is a harmless kid, but does this actually happen in Japan? I bet Airi’s a raging shotacon!

So far, the character designs aren’t bad, and the art style isn’t bad either. I’d like to see some more deformity, though. That last sentence is great taken out of context! I have a feeling that “adult Aram” will be too bishounen for my tastes (which are not bishounen).

MeruPuri isn’t the worst manga in the sampler, but it’s also not the best either. If I had to choose between Tokyo Boys and Girls and Merupuri, I think I’d go with Merupuri. Otherwise, it’s more shounen action ninja manga for me!

Hi!!

I also think merupuri is cute, and lovely! But I have a question, though…is there any possibility of Merupuri turn out to be a anime? u know…like fruits basket?!
please …answer me …!!

Merupuri is a pretty interesting series. It had just come out when I was in Japan. I think I had up to volume 3…

It gets much more interesting, and Alam or Aram, whatever you want to call him, isn’t your typical bishounen-looking guy.
