Book review: Meru Puri

Category:	Books
Genre:	Comics & Graphic Novels
Author:	Matsuri Hino

Meru Puri (Marchen Prince) starts off with a prince being cursed and escapes through a mirror portal. The lead of the story is Airi, a 16 y.o. high school girl with a simple dream of having a family of her own with her ideal guy. It’s may seem so shoujo-like, but the story gets more and more interesting as the flow of events follow the adventures of Airi-chan through her ordinary-to-magical high school life. From her ordinary life she weaves into a world unknown to her and journeys on achieving her dream in an enchanting way. Not only does the story make you want for more, but also the artwork of Matsuri sensei. Bishies in wonderful attires and costumes fill the pages of this manga, as well as the details of the clothes and backgrounds. Please note that the full names of some characters may be a bit long and quite of a tongue twister. ^_^

The artwork of Kayono-sensei is really amazing especially with the body form and clothing accessories. Lines and details are fine and clean.
