e-ARC from NetGalley.

As this art exhibit continues, so does my love for the beauty of it. I couldn't take my eyes off of the pages if I tried.

This continues to be a charming, relaxing read. In this volume our leads continue to draw closer through their every day lives together.

I appreciate little details that bring them together- they both notice things about each other and bring out new experiences for each other.

I also like the attention put to Emma's experiences as a blind person- her hesitancy to visit the doctor, the way she dreams in sensations and experiences, and taking pictures of sounds that interest her to explore the world around her.

Overall, Veil is a breath of fresh air in manga format. I enjoyed the second volume just as much as the first, and I would recommend it for fans of slice of life, romantic, and historical manga.

Thank you to Udon Entertainment for my ARC provided through Netgalley.

volume 2 has art that continues to be the eye candy i expected after finishing volume 1! i love the story between the two characters, the romance is so organic! i love a good slow burn but i love a simmer burn as well (hahah) - their interactions, their banter and the way they look out for each other in their own way? I AM SAT. As I kept reading the story, you can genuinely tell these characters enjoy each other's company and those are the best foundations for a relationship <3

i can sit here and type an essay about how visually appealing the art style is, but then everyone would get bored. I was never an art student but i can appreciate a good colour palette and style.

"i like looking at you when you're enjoying a scent" - I SWOONED <3

It seems difficult to put a label on the two main characters relationship status. Although it is not the regular romance type graphic novel/manga that I’d read, it has a different aspect to it that is appealing to many audiences. They obviously care about one another. It’s such an interesting experience to watch Her navigate the world by touch, which opens new possibilities and sensations that one may not experience without one sense gone. I’m ready for the next installment to open up our hearts and minds further to these two.

*Recibí este libro adelantado por NetGalley a cambio de mi honesta opinión. Gracias a NetGalley y a UdonEntretainment por el libro (ARC).*

La continuación de este manga no me decepcionó. Es una historia que al leerla quieres seguir leyendo más. Una vez terminas estas triste por haberla acabado tan rápido. Las gráficas son muy lindas y esta bien escrita. Esta contada por pequeños episodios lindos. Es un slow burn y se siente la tensión de los personajes, que hasta es gracioso.

I really liked this - the art style is very nostalgic. Like a retro fashion magazine at times. The chapters we get in vol. 2 have our duo growing closer and it was cute and romantic. Even better than Vol. 1!

Thanks again to Netgalley and Udon Entertainment for the arc. I look forward to adding finished copies to my library when they publish.

This series is adorable. I cannot wait for the third translation. This is something so lighthearted that it gives such a warm feeling to the heart.

I enjoyed this as much as I did the first one. Love the characters, they are great together. I will definitely be keeping my eyes open for more.

As these charters get closer together I loved seeing the small moments that make up their friendship. It was so wholesome and yet charged with a need to see where they would end up. I love all the inside sketches to. It’s not just telling a story but it’s also a work of art.

This second volume is just as cute as the first. I loved that it was easy to see the characters relationship grow in this volume. My only complaint would be that this story is just romance and doesn't focus on depth but just surface level relationship. I mean I definitely still enjoyed reading it for what it was but would've loved even more.

Volume 1 was amazing and volume 2 is just as amazing. I absolutely love the art style, characters and their story. It is such a quick sweet read.

I can't wait for volume 3!

4.5 ☆
“No, I don't think you understand… I'm obsessed”

The art. The dialogues. The Story. The characters. It is the same felling as in the hand scene in pride & prejudice (‘05 version).

I want what they have. If you like romance, you should check out this manga.

Volume 2 of Veil is where I finally understood what this two volume comic series is all about. I found the art of both to be beautiful. I had wondered to myself why it felt a little bit disjointed and had so many random moments of time patch-worked together. Now I get it.

Veil is the accumulation of artworks by artist Kotteri! This is a special comic created due to the interest and curiosity of people who follow Kotteri online and have wondered at the relationship of the woman and man Kotteri often drew.

I love the concept of this. I love the ambiguity of who they are and even the nature of their relationship. I love the feeling that we will always be on the outside and the only people that know the truth are the two of them. Both volumes are executed beautifully. They give the multimedia feel of looking through something from a time long past.

If you love art and artists, and you enjoy the idea of reading something that does something wholly unique, you will love Veil!

Usually when I start reading a manga series, I'll read one volume... and then do something else for a while, and come back and read the next one and let it simmer for a while.

For Veil, I immediately picked up volume 2 as soon as I finished volume 1. This manga is so sensual?? Volume 2 as well is a series of little snapshots into the lives of "her" and "him" (with an afterword by the creator about how these names were assigned by twitter watches - very cute) and their ambiguous but sensual relationship. It's gorgeous and I can't believe there's more than two volumes in my future, I will be waiting ever so impatiently to get them into my little clutching hands.

Thank you again to Udon Entertainment and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for review!

I quite adore them. Kotteri once again shows us that even the smallest glimpses of their lives have so much meaning.

Thank you to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the eARC!

I love the art style and the color palette the artist utilizes to express the emotions as well as the vibes of the manga.

Loved this continuation of him and her. Gorgeous sumptuous graphic design. I want prints of nearly every page to hang in my bedroom.

“There’s this warmth between them that can’t quite be called friendship or love.” I’m loving this series! The artwork is beautiful and I love seeing the little snippets of the two main characters’ lives. Watching them care for each other and get more comfortable with each other is so sweet, I love it. I hope the rest of the series is available soon!

Hi,
This was my first Manga I've read where the scenes cut out like short movies. It was different but it was nice. The story was cute. The characters likeable. I wish there was more pages. The slow romance buildup. Overall it was a great quick read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the ARC!

As cozy a read as the first volume, demonstrating a soft intimacy between Emma and Alexander in their day-to-day. As with the prior volume, asides from the traditional paneled comics there are pages of sketches, illustrations, and several short passages dialing into the character's inner thoughts that further add to their characterization. Hands carding through hair and multiple illustrations featuring Alexander helping Emma with her shoes or Emma cheekily sneaking a hand or foot under Alexander's clothing continue to provide a gentle bit of tension in the touches that they share, but as Kotteri outlines in the author's note at the end there's just something nice about how there is no explicit label to their relationship.
