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.

This is very similar to classic films. Even the art style evokes memories of old movie posters. And even though you are guided through this relationship and see it develop, it also feels like you’ve missed several private conversations because the characters act like they’ve known each other for decades. But it’s so adorable. I love the connection the characters have with each other.

Each chapter is like a vignette with no plot per see, aside from seeing them interact with each other. I love stories that are nice palate cleansers. Where you are excited to continue reading their story, but this is digestible for when you’re in a reading slump or between books. Looking forward to reading the next volume.

I very much enjoyed Veil Volume 1: Temperature of Orange by Kotteri! It was a bit of a casual but romantic read. I like that the one main character is blind but people don't treat her too differently. Additionally the art style was fantastic. I cannot wait to read the second volume. While the book read in the direction that manga usually reads, it felt more Russian than Japanese. I enjoyed the little stories that were just words but written over sketches, such as the “conversation between the teapot and the mug as they wait to be cleared away”. Those were very enjoyable. I definitely will be recommending this book to my library.

“ Like a classic film, he and she encountered each other by chance.”

3.75 Great opening line for the blurb of this. When I requested this from Netgally I honestly didn’t give it much thought other than the cover looked lovely. The story here and the way it’s presented is solidly unique. It really is like some old French film, it’s absolutely GORGEOUS, but quite confusing due to how choppy and short the chapters are (in some cases only a page or two). However the art and story are wonderfully sensual, I still have no clue if the main characters are romantically together, but they clearly love each other.

Stunning visuals, a heartwarming tale of a runaway heiress and a police officer that come to work together.
The story follows their day-to-day routine with a light and fun exchange between the main characters.
I must say the female lead wittiness and fashion style are amusing.

Thank you so much to Udon Ent. and Mangasplaining for finally bringing a beloved series to English and for the ARC!

As always, I'll write a lenghty review on my blog and update the link later on. I'm planning to review both volumes together for reasons I'll explain, so I'll copy & paste this excerpt to both volumes. My rating is 2.5 stars.

I'm ... conflicted, to say the least. I've known Veil since, I don't know, forever. Kotteri's art style is distinct, eye-catching. Their fashion sense and attention to detail, talent in bringing intimacy to life on page is immaculate. You see Veil's protagonists, and you immediately want to know more about them. I have a friend who collects the JP volumes so I had a chance to take a look at a later volume, and of course, the word 'beautiful' doesn't even begin to capture the feeling this work fills you with.

As I have said, I had a chance to look at, if I remember correctly, the fifth volume, so I was expeecting a somewhat vignette-like structure. Yet still, the work took me by surprise and not in a positive way. I expected to fall head over heels for the two but was taken aback by how... flat it all felt altogether.

The reason I wanted to review both volumes together is that the first volume reads more like a scrapbook or ideabook where pieces are thrown together without caring too much about a narrative structure. Not that I think it matters a lot, but I couldn't even figure out whether the police and the heiress were already dating or not given how intimate they look. The second volume is more consistent in that regard compared to the first and definitely needs to be read together, but well...

The translation reads beautifully and the lettering is amazing, sovisually and production-wise, the volume is top notch! I can't, however, speak as favorably about the series itself, unfortunately. Maybe it gets better? Who knows!

This is such a sweet slice-of-life manga!! I love the relationship between our main characters and how intimate they are with one another. The affection in this story is beautiful, and I really enjoyed reading it.

so romantic. I loved the interactions between the characters, they're so incredibly charming and have such sweet banter. I will definitely be reading more.

thank you netgalley and publisher for the arc!

The art style is gorgeous. It feels like the old comic strips in newspapers with the off-white background and pop of colors.

Art style aside, it was kind of hard to follow the plot, or lack thereof. It was an accumulation of 14 small stories that seem interconnected, but loosely.

The manga is about this police officer who meets this blind runaway heiress and offers her a job at the police station answering the phone. It follows their relationship as coworkers, and they have super cute banter. The MMC seems super whipped for the FMC, which I love!

I wish the manga was a bit more substantial, but this was only the first volume. I look forward to reading the future volumes.

Thank you to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for giving me a free copy in exchange for my honest review.

The art in this 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Beautifully drawn and the short stories in this manga is immaculate. I love how its more of snapshots of the couple's interactions rather than a coherent storytelling as we see their day to day life, random things they did in their days and how there is a growing relationship but not official yet. A blind, beautiful woman and a tough policeman together make such a cute couple, their flirtations with each other are swoonworthy. Just be a couple, u guys deserve each other

I wish this had more a plot but besides that I enjoyed it. The art style was stunning, and I wanted more of it.

Thank you for the ARC!
I am in love with the fashionable art style of this manga. It is unique and it makes it stand out. I love the slice of life vibe of the story and the interactions between the two main characters are so cute and genuine.

A blind heiress. A police officer. A chance. An on-duty police officer meets a blind heiress and, half seriously, hires her to answer phones at the police station. The only thing is, they hardly get phone calls. This chance meeting starts a mysterious relationship with these two characters. We have vignettes into their daily love. Small comments and conversations. Images. Moments. It's mysterious and nostalgic. Its romantic and friendly. It's atmospheric. The artwork is smooth and she is graceful while he is tough. She is soft angles and he is hard angles. There are so many ways to discuss this manga, but the best word is just beautiful.

A specific reader is needed for this one. A reader who doesn't mind a coherent plot and clear answers. I am that reader. I devoured this and personally, want these on my shelves. I could easily see myself returning to this again and again. Very excited for future volumes.

I wasn't expecting the vignette style of this graphic novel and found myself struggling a bit with threading together the plot. However, I was very taken with the art style and enjoyed a story about a young blind woman and how she navigates her independence.

This manga has such beautiful artwork and it should be framed and posted for everyone to see as well. This story is very cute with romantic tension between the main leads that I really love and enjoy. Evey scene puts a giddy smile on my face from seeing the main characters interact with each other. I can't wait for Volume 2 to come out and see even more of this beautiful artwork and feel the sweet romance developing between the main leads. I love it! 5 out of 5 stars for me!

I greatly enjoyed Veil Vol. 1. The artwork reminds me of sketches for a fashion design and I found myself really enjoying it. The plot line is not as strong as I would have liked, but it was fun to read something that was lighthearted, flirty, and fun. I recommend!

First, I LOVED the art style.
Second, the characters are AMAZING. You can just feel the pull between them.
They are in their own bubble and their relationship just grows so smoothly between them.

I think the plot of the story is super interesting. The added factor of our FMC being blind and our MMC treating her with love, respect, and simplicity is just perfection.
Police officer meets runaway blind heiress who just wants to work and enjoy her life who wouldn't love it!

The manga is filled with simple daily routine moments in their lives and I am just waiting for more more more!

Thank you NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for sharing a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7370401828

The truth is, when I started reading this comic, I felt completely lost. What was going on? Who were the characters? What's all this about?

And as I read on, even though I didn't get many answers, the tenderness and bond between the characters won my heart, and I never wanted to finish this volume. Luckily, I had the second one ready to read, and that's exactly what I did.

A story that introduces us to two very different characters who complement each other so well.

Thank you so much, Udon Entertainment, for the ARC I read on NetGallery, in exchange for an honest review.
