This wasn't my favorite manga I've read. It was hard to follow and I thought the story was bland at best. Will not be interested in purchasing this series.

Thank you to the author, the publisher Udon Entertainment and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A compilation of two characters' everyday scenes with beautiful illustrations. Unfortunately, I didn't like it.

I fear I didn't get the point of the majority of the scenes. I find some lacking of point. They lacked a well structured basis. It's not well structured in a whole.

However, I found the illustrations really great. I liked them.

This book came out on the 3rd June!

The storytelling was simple and the illustration was beautiful. I love the interactions between both characters and how they build up connections between each other. This manga was enjoyable for me to read.

The art style is absolutely gorgeous! Such a unique manga — it felt like watching a movie drawn onto the pages. It's truly one of a kind. The story is amazing as well; I loved how the author built the friendship between the two main characters. I will definitely recommend it!

Thank you NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the digital ARC.

Written and illustrated in the style of a classic movie, this classic manga is about the story of Emma, a sheltered rich girl, and Alexander, who works for the Police Security Division. The setting is in Post-Revolutionary Russia, and through beautiful imagery and dialogue, it shows you what life was like during that time. Throughout this manga, you can see their sparking dynamic through flirting as they work together in a police station after she ran away. The dialogue is funny, and each chapter is like a scene in a movie. I look forward to more installments in this series.

Thanks to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the ARC.

A pretty series of vignettes focused on the growing relationship between a cop and an heiress. There isn't much of a plot, but the vibes are immaculate. The art style is unique for a manga, with clean lines, simple backgrounds, and bold color throughout. The relationship between the two is intimate without being sexual, and the push and pull in their interactions keep you interested.

Going into this i did think it was going to be more of a graphic novel/manga read in a more traditional way.
When reading it , it felt more like reading art. I say that will admiration, its a style I have yet to come across and it left an impact on me.
The story is illustrated beautifully and the colors, light and over all style draws you in and makes you feel. This feels like Im watching a classic film or reading a classic romance, written decades ago, while still feeling real and present.
The relationship blossoming, made my heart giddy and brought some light into me that I didnt know was even needed.

Thank you NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the digital ARC for review.

First off—thank you for the ARC, and also… how dare you? I went in expecting something good but not this good! I did not expect to be emotionally invested in these characters ti the point binge reading two volumes back to back.
The art? Gorgeous. Everything glows with warmth and the expressions are so on point. The character designs are delicate but with much depth.
The story? This was mostly vibes no plot, and strangely enough i was invested. The emotional undercurrent is subtle but i absolutely adore how the characters are tender and considerate towards each other.
Ps: you will be getting my thoughts on the second volume shortly after this.
Also can I PLEASE have the third volume arc!? PLEASE!
Thanks 🤍

This was honestly such a beautiful read, and told in such an unique way!

Like a classic film, he and she encountered each other by chance. He was an on-duty police officer in the city. She was a runaway heiress. When he learned that she is looking for work, he decided to welcome her as the police station's telephone operator... This was the beginning of the everyday lives of he and she, and the delicate distance between them.

The resemblance to a classical film added such an unique twist to this story. We see everyday encounters between to the characters that are slowly forming a beautifully told love story. The artstyle is genuinely gorgeous, I fell in love with it on the spot, and it fits the story perfectly!!

Veil Volume 1 is a masterclass in elegantly simple storytelling. With just some properly composed illustrations and knowing when to use each angle, the author expressed a lot without the use of a lot of words. It’s a fine example of show don’t tell. The characters show their emotions subtly and they are so charming that it isn’t necessary to have a lot of backstory or details about their lives to be able to connect with them.
It’s a captivating read that goes by very fast and smoothly.

⋆˚࿔ 4.5 stars! ⋆˚࿔

OMG, this is such a cute romance manga! I love both characters. They have distinctive personalities, and their interactions are just the best. They show what romance truly is, not lust but love. I love how they work with and around each other. They have a real connection.

I personally loved this manga. The story was easy to follow and so adorable. The art style is beautiful and unique. This is a lighthearted, slightly slow burn, and beautiful read. Highly recommend!

⋆˚࿔ Thank you to NetGalley, UDON Entertainment, and Kotteri i for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review ⋆˚࿔

This was so intriguing to me. The art style is absolutely STUNNING. I mean, I was amazed looking at it. It was a bit difficult to follow as far as how their relationship developed, but by the time I got to the end, I knew I wanted to read the next volume. To me, the art style is beautiful enough to pick this one up!

ARC Copy...Hmm interesting and promsing so far. The art style felt like viewing an elegant fashion magazine and the European settings done well too.

I thought this was gonna be a full fledged out story but it’s like a little book of shorts which isn’t bad either! I’ve seen this couple online before and getting to properly read and understand their story is so nice. I can’t wait to read Vol. 2 to see more of them!

The art style was different and pretty. The story was interesting with some sweet moments. I liked how her blindness was a part of her and not the only thing.

It's impossible to miss the Veil phenomenon, a little gem with a very special charm.

Halfway between an art book and a slice of life, we're treated to a series of scenes of a pair of protagonists taming each other with style and sensuality, all in color and warmth.

Aleksander and Emma are charming and their dynamic is both adorable and addictive. You can feel the chemistry between them.

Kotteri's drawing is reminiscent of haute couture, very delicate and elegant.

You have to let yourself be carried away. It's an experience in its own right that I can't recommend enough!

Ive been waiting for Veil's localization for ages, and im happy to see its finally been picked up. Its a beautiful and cozy story about a blind woman finding independence. Her blindness is not the emphasis, but her budding romance with her coworker is.


My main criticism about reading this is more about the reading experience on NetGalley's app. Usually I would read on my Kobo but the feature was removed. Japanese manga are read from right to left, and it felt jarring to read from the left page to the right page, but starting from the top right and ending on the bottom right. It disrupted the flow and it wasn't a very pleasant experience - especially since some of the pages were double spreads and they would get cut off in an odd way.

Veil is a gorgeous and captivating book, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to sit back and read about sugary sweet scenes between a couple. Its absolutely adorable how he does on her and has chosen most of her closet, AND everything is to her taste and she adores every piece. I want to read more about them!

This title would do well in a class studying artistic style and color theory. The story is simple and uncomplicated -- this is more about the beauty of style and fashion.

Veil is a manga that I've been eager to read! I initially came across Kotteri's art of the characters on social media and learned it's been collected into volumes!

UDON Entertainment have done a brilliant job of translating it to English! The book is beautifully laid out and the story is easy to follow. I also love how the lettering is done as it suits the aesthetics and visuals of the art style very well. These characters are so dear to me and I'm so happy I got to read their story in English and get to know them better! Thoroughly loved it!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Set in 1950s Europe, tells the story of a runaway heiress and her fateful meeting with a (pretty charming) police officer as she's on her way home. Seeking a job, he invites her to the station as a phone girl/receptionist and lovely slice-of-life scenes follow.
Volume 1 was a treat from the muted colors reminiscent of the art of that time. The color palette was not expansive and it made the art (& therefore, story) feel more cozy. My favorite part of it were the intimate moments between the two main characters. I also appreciate the slice-of-life scenes that don't just include themselves but other people they interact with daily.
