MeruPuri, Volume 1 Book

This maybe deserves 3 stars simply because the art is so beautiful (that mangaka REALLY knows how to draw eyes), but I didn't particularly like the story. A young prince (elementary school age) is somehow zapped into our world and ends up living with a high school girl named Ari, who dreams of getting married and having a family. Aram (the prince), falls in love with her, but is too young for her. However, he's got a curse that sometimes turns him into a young man of about the same age as her, so she's torn between accepting him and rejecting him.

This is really a tossup I guess. Some people will be OK with it, others won't. The way I see it, I don't care if he looks like he's 17 half the time. He's still a 9-year old kid. I remember 9-year old boys, when I was in elementary school. They weren't cute. The thought of this ditz softening up toward a brat like that just because he looked good half the time totally turned me off. I couldn't get over the fact that she was almost an adult and he was a little kid. I found the story pretty immature, although there are plenty of people I know who thought it was fantastic.
