I just finished this series and I must say it's one of the best romance shoujo mangas out there!
The characters are drawn perfectly...down to the very lace. The art is fantastic as usual coming from Hino Matsuri and for a magical story, the plot can be considered unique and slightly unusual. Good news is that for once the female protagonist does not annoy me... The only things that bothered me are Aram and Airi's age difference and Lei and the Queen's suspicious relationship. The ending is also slightly too long, taking up about 3/4 of a volume, so long that I almost rushed through the

unnecessary, but fun to read, side stories. Besides that, MeruPuri is certainly a worthwhile manga series that only lasts 4 volumes. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a heart-touching and sweet story combined with multiple drool-worthy bishies who, fortunately, tend to strip often.
In my opinion, although the characters personalities are different from the ones in Vampire Knight, their appearances are definitely strikingly similar. Like how Aram looks like Haruka (Kaname's father), Jeile looks like Kaname, and how Lei reminds me of Ichiru (and also Ichiru's obsession with an older, intimidating woman). Well, most authors would have repetitive characters, very much like how Meg Cabot, the author of The Princess Diaries, always has a set of characters that correspond in most of her books.
