Es una historia con personajes interesantes, misteriosos y atrayentes. Sin embrago, la mejor parte se la lleva el diseño gráfico. Animaciones que me recuerdan al comic, pero con tintes del manga, acompañado de una colorimetría on-point que dan ganas de imprimir la obra completa y encuadrarla.
Definitivamente voy a leer el siguiente.

Veil Volume 1 by Kotteri is an interesting sort of graphic novel. It is short, and in full color, a novelty in the manga world, but it also has a different chapter format. Each chapter is only a few pages long, each being a short vignette, usually something slightly romantic. The novel starts out with a prologue in which the heroine, known only as "she", accidentally hits a police officer with her stick as she is blind. When she informs him she is looking for work, he invites her to work at the police station to answer the phones. What follows are short chapters showing their budding life together in which they go out, drink tea, and work together.

What didn't work for me was that there was essentially no plot to this graphic novel. I felt myself wishing for something to happen, but because these are only 30 second glimpses into their lives, nothing of consequence really does and besides the prologue, nothing moves the needle forward on their relationship. We get the idea that these two live together, and presumably work together, but we don't see the events between the prologue and now to link these together. I also have no clue who these characters are besides some basic facts like she is blind, he is a protective police officer who smokes.

Nothing beyond the prologue gripped me to make me want to keep reading. The art is beautiful, with a 90's-esque drawing style and simplified color pallet for each chapter, but art isn't enough to keep me engaged. At the end of volume one, I really didn't feel their relationship was furthered than where I left it on page 11, the end of the prologue.

What a beautiful first volume! The artwork is fairly simple but stunning, especially with it being in full color. The extra artwork included between chapters is an added bonus!

The story starts out with our yet unnamed FMC walking into a police officer on the street and, from there, we get to see their relationship blossom in short, everyday life snippets. I love both the main characters, who we later learn are named Emma and Alexander. Emma is fearless and witty; Alexander is protective and honest; together they make a perfect pair. I love that Alexander dotes on Emma and she teases him to no end.

I just wanted a bit more substance to the story but can appreciate the mangaka’s style and approach. Excited to pick up volume 2!

Thank you Udon Entertainment and NetGalley for the e-arc.

I have no other words to describe this other than that this is a beautiful piece of art.
Can't wait to continue see their love grow.

Thank you NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

A beautiful and glamorous full colour manga with sketches, illustrations, and short written snippets between chapters. Veil is a really atmospheric story told in small everyday moments between a police officer and a blind heiress and their relationship. The hand lettering is a great touch, and Kotteri's beautiful illustrations keep the reader wanting to focus on every detail. There is a lot of cross over appeal in this series for readers of Western graphic novels and indie comics.

This story is about a runaway rich, blind woman looking for work who bumps into a police officer one day that offers her work at the police station answering phones.

The scenes progress very fast and seem to have time jumps between scenes 1 and 2 as it appears that a lot of time has passed. In the second scene, the blind woman is very bold, lifting the officers arm while he's sleeping on the couch so she can sit by his side in a snuggle. They even behave more like husband and wife than coworkers.

Each scene/chapter is incredibly short. There are more cover art and art pages than actual dialog happening to advance the story, and I don't see a plot or point where the story is headed.

The artwork is pretty, but I would have liked more story to this. We don't even learn the names of the characters until the very end since there are character sheets with their names, age, and interests.

Unfortunately, this wasn't for me. I like my books to have a story, and unfortunately, there was little in this.

Thank you to Udon Entertainment and NetGalley for a free e-arc in exchange for an honest review. First of all the art is gorgeous. I wish I could make up prints of so many of the panels and the manga has a noir vibe mixed with vivid colors and fashionable clothing. The characters were all very distinct. My only complaint is that it is a true slice of life. I could not tell if there even was a linear plot until we got to the character's inner monologue pages, but I loved the art and vibe enough that I'll be checking out more.

Visually stunning. An all color manga that was absolutely beautiful with a captivating story I could stop reading! I’m desperate to read more volumes.

This is a manga with a series of short chapters in which we see the 'friendship' between a runaway rich heiress and a police man.

I don't have a bad thing to say about this manga. The art style is so beautiful, their outfits are so classy. I love their dynamic and how her disability is presented with so much care. It's just the perfect romantic story. I will definitely be purchasing the physical book when it comes out.

A HUGE thank you to @netgalley and @udonent for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

💭 My thoughts

This was such a feel good read! It consisted of a bunch of adorable snapshots into the romance of a police officer and a blind secret heiress. The slice of life layout was very original (I especially liked how each chapter was called a “scene”) and did a great job adding to the overall experience. The artwork was gorgeous and had a very old Hollywood feel to it. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick, fell good romance.

The art is nice and the short snippets of their life is cute but wish there had been a proper plot line.

ARC review : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful collection of scenes. I adore the relationship between HIM and HER. He is protective and caring. She is open and welcoming. The art is gorgeous and I cannot wait for more.

Vintage vibes and a blossoming relationship I can't help but hope for.

Thank you Netgalley and Udon publishing for the ARC.

It's such a beautifully drawn story, a real treat for the eyes. Emma and Alexander's history is intriguing, but manga itself consists of just snippets of their life, it's no surprise they're called "scenes" instead of "chapters". I do wish it was more developed, as there is a pure charisma beating under the ink.

I absolutely loved this manga! I really really liked the art style of the main characters. However, it kind of felt like just an art book instead of having an actual plot at times though. The manga does also start with them meeting for the first time and then suddenly they’re together?! I wish there was a little more about how they got together, etc. I will definitely keep reading this and probably will buy hard copies! Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the e-arc.

I've known about this manga for a while now and it didn't disappoint. The way the author tells the story of him and her, our two main characters, is so dreamy, tad nostalgic, it makes you yearn for the kind of connection they have. Despite not knowing whether they're friends or lovers, you know they deeply understand each other and fulfill each other's emotional needs. The art style is breathtaking, it fits the story, it simply tells the story. There's no part of this book I wouldn't adore.

When I first started reading, I was a bit thrown off my the art style. Not that I didn’t like it, but it was just so different than what I expect from manga and graphic novels. I quickly got over that and I really loved the style. The full colour really adds so much to this as well. I absolutely loved all of the outfits and you can tell how much time and thought was put into them.

This was such a unique layout for this story and I absolutely loved it. The connection between Him and Her is amazing and I immediately started the next volume as soon as I finished this one.

As much as I loved the art in this graphic novel, the story was a bit hard to follow? There wasn’t much dialogue or plot to further the story, I’m hoping to get more from Vol 2 but we’ll see.

❝Sounds like they see all kinds of things with a romantic view. These eyes of yours.❞

Veil Volume 1: Temperature of Orange - Kotteri
★★★★★

I think I just found my new obsession because favorite would be an understatement.

It's not like any other manga, as if it creates a whole new different genre to itself. The art style is very much georgeous. I personally love the coloring, it's giving you this classic vibes. Not to mention the panels, they're very much simple and not as complicated as manga usually does but it did a great job of portraying the romance, the little gestures, all the intimacy and warm feeling. Also it has an interesting format where they separate main characters' monologue in a secluded panel instead of putting it into the same normal panel. It's just simplify everything for us readers.

Now about the plot, i'm obsessed with everything about it. The romance, subtle and warm and delicate aka PERFECT with capital letters. They seems perfect for each other, the chenistry is just undeniable. I love how he's so gentle and considerate and took a generous time and effort to take care of her. The whole sweetness provided in this initial volume did a great job on hooking reader's attention for more maybe FMC's back story and some more serious conflict in the upcoming volume. Can't wait to jump into the next one!

Quick simple read nothing too special. Not bad at all, quite fun but it didn't stick out to me, I'll try the 2nd volume if that doesn't stick out I might DNF the series. I'd give this a 2.5 out of 5 just middle of the road I guess. But since I can't do half stars I'll round up to 3.

4.5 stars
Beautiful and quick read. The art style sets the tone perfectly. It would have been five stars but I felt it was a bit disconnected from scene to scene. Like how did we get from there to here at some parts. Still, I enjoyed it and I loved their teasing. Looking forward to the next one.
