Story

All high school freshman Airi Hoshina ever wanted was to someday live in a cozy home with a loving husband, and find joy in the little things in life. As a result, she makes it her daily mission to get to school on time because school legend has it that the longer one's non-tardy streak is, the better boyfriend one will find. But just when her daily routine is working like clockwork, an occurrence of fairytale proportions threatens to disrupt her grand plan.

Creator

A former bookstore shopkeeper, Matsuri Hino burst onto the manga scene with her title Kono Yume ga Sametara (When This Dream Is Over), which was published in LaLa DX magazine. Hino became a manga artist a mere nine months after she decided to become one.

With the success of her popular series Toraware no Minoue (Captive Hearts), and MeruPuri, Hino has established herself as a major player in the world of shojo manga. Her new title, Vampire Knight, currently runs in monthly LaLa magazine.

Hino enjoys creative activities, and has commented that she would have been either an architect or an apprentice to traditional Japanese craft masters if she did not become a manga artist.

Meru puri was a random pick up for me. But after the first volume i bought all four.


One of my classic favorites


A must for shojo lovers  

[serenityxo]

Yeah, I read the first book and couldn't stop reading. XD
I really wish there were more than 4 volumes though...  

[Host_Club_Fanatic]

Such a good manga. I was surprised that there were only 4 volumes, though. But now I can say I have my first whole series!  

[Crooked_Lamb]

It could have been more volumes honestly.

After the 2nd manga it seemed rushed. like she set it to only 4 at the start, but she had enough storyline to keep me going for at least 6 volumes.

It ended way too soon.  

[BunnyCupCakes]

For some reason I couldn't really pick into it in the first volume...I thought it was ok.
The art is great though ^^  

[Chesa5]

I read it at a sleep over. My friend had brought it and I was on the coach picked it up, fell asleep while reading it then woke up, finished it and fell asleep again.

I though it as too short too... *sigh* but that's okay the ending Managed to be pulled off so that's good.

Have dreamed of eternity I of security time forever without leaving, to hold, you have laughed :: ♫ :.

I personally, didn't find the ending all that great. I mean, it was somewhat decent, I guess, but I think the author could have taken the story further.
