In Oreimo[]

Meruru, as the titular character in Stardust Witch Meruru, is famous among anime fans, particularly those who are a fan of the show. Various merchandise have been release based on Meruru, including figurines and other merchandise.

In a Meruru-themed competition during Season 1, Kanako was forced to cosplay as Meruru after Ayase dragged her to a cosplay competition to win a limited edition Meruru figure for her to give to Kirino to make up for her. Kanako ultimately won the competition despite her strong dislike for cosplay, but she started to accept this opportunity to gain fame.

Trivia[]

  • Meruru's design is similar to that of Doremi Harukaze, the main character in Magical Doremi. Though they both have pink hair in similar styles and similar pink dresses, the two differ in many subtle ways.
  • One of the main characters in the author's work after OreImo, Sagiri, has a mask that is reminiscent of Meruru.
  • In the Eromanga Sensei poster, there is a girl holding what looks like a Meruru plushie.
