This full colour manga is an intriguing and fascinating story that follows an on- duty police officer and a runaway heiress.
She is on the run and looking for work. He is a police officer who met her by chance. And that was the beginning of their story, the one filled with friendship, understanding and patience.
This story brings you a blend of witty, quirky dialogues, desirable fashion sense and of course characters that will leave wanting more.
I absolutely love this first volume. The vivid colourful illustrations gave me a one of a kind reading experience. The storyline is engaging and the very first chapter piqued my interest in the series. Besides the illustrations, I also loved the chapters of his and her monologue. I am going to pick up volume two and I can thoroughly vouch that I'm immensely looking forward to enjoying that as well.
P.S - Their names are revealed in the end along with a few other details.
For all the YA manga readers, this was for you!
A gorgeous, nostalgic, and almost film-like manga featuring two unlikely people who have a chance meeting and their life in the city as a friendship and romance begins to bloom. An on-duty officer and a runaway heiress end up running into each other, he seems the world in one way and she see's it in a completely different... yet together they create a beautiful city life together. The story revolves around their budding friendship and a possible romance as they navigate their lives together. Filled with gorgeous illustrations, artwork, and a soft and beautiful story, I was completely enchanted from the first page. Every page is so beautifully designed and the story itself just feels so soft and sweet, it's got such a vintage classy film-like vibe to it, and I absolute loved it. I will be reading the rest of this series and will absolutely be purchasing the box set when it comes out!! I am so in love with this book and can't wait to recommend it!!

With a bold art style these full colour illustrations mesmerise the reader.
A somewhat of an avant-garde style of story telling its not always clear what is actually happening within the narrative. The 'heiress' appears to have a visual impairment- but she never opens her eyes. The exploration of someone with visual disabilities seems a bit primitive for this day and age.
Thank you Netgalley & Udon entertainment for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
This is a full coloured romance manga told in such a unique way, and with the most beautifully charming art style.
The story isn't linear and is instead told in the form of snippets (scenes) of Emma & Alexander's life after she accidentally bumps into him. The relationship is so innocent (they aren't even together), but it also feels intimate at the same time. It almost feels like you're intruding on a private moment between the two. Veil is so wholesome, and although each scene is short, you still get an understanding of their relationship and feelings towards each other as the story progresses.
If you are a romance girlie, then this is a manga you need to check out. The story gets better throughout the volumes, and I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy when it's released.
Veil isn't what I expected. There is no plot, no time given to settle into the story. You're given a prologue about when the characters first meet and that's the extent of foundational information. The rest is simple vignettes of small moments in the shared lives of these two characters. The relationship between the two is really left up to the reader. Whether you want to believe they're romantically involved or just very good friends the chemistry between them is undeniable. In just a few pages you're shown the deep understanding they have for each other, and are treated to daily banter and going's on. It's truly a lovely manga with a very soft and beautiful art style. I'm excited to read more!
Thank you to Udon Entertainment and Netgalley for the ARC.
