An interesting story featuring an unnamed couple who meet on the streets. He, a police officer, and she, a blind runaway heiress. We see them together in random scenes and get to know them. The art is truly beautiful!

I've heard great things about this manga, so I couldn't wait to read it! I really liked it, the story is very sweet and the art style is beautiful. I'll definitely read the second volume!

its been ages since I last read a manga, and this was an excellent reminder why I love manga so much, this manga has gorgeous drawings and the story is sweet, at first we get to know who our main characters are, and afterwards we get snippets of the life of this characters and how their relationship grows, yeah its not like it tells all the things that happen in their lifes, but more how their relation grows and matures.

This was a very enjoyable manga and I really recommend this manga for everyone who likes mature stories without the obvious forced relationship. And another positive thing is that this manga is also coloured.

Thank you NetGalley and Udon Entertainment, for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.

Veil 1: Temperature of Orange is a short, romantic read focusing on the budding relationship of police officer Alexander and runaway rich girl Emma.

I was expecting this to be more plot-driven while it rather showed snapshots of interactions between the main characters. I enjoyed most the beautiful illustrations and the banter between Emma and Alexander. I particularly loved the great detail and use of colour brought to the illustrations.

I’d recommend this to manga fans interested in slow burn romance.

I’m looking forward to continuing the series and hopefully learning more about Emma’s past in Volume 2.
Thank you to Udon Entertainment for providing me with this review copy via NetGalley!

This is what I envisioned Nina and Matthias's relationship in Six of Crows would be like.
This is a gorgeously illustrated manga with so much character. I wish this book had a coherent plot instead of little ripples of stories. I could imagine the whole story between them and their future. Read Veil for a refreshing, quick, and delightful reset.

First of all, I want to thank UDON Entertainment for this ARC, and that’s my honest opinion.

ITA: Mi sono innamorata di Veil a prima vista: lo stile deliziosamente retrò mi ha conquistata.
Abiti, acconciature, scenografia e oggetti di scena sono assolutamente perfetti.
Ogni volume è un piccolo artbook, e non c’è illustrazione che sfigurerebbe sulle più blasonate riviste di moda.
E poi c’è una sottile e avvolgente sensualità permea ogni tavola.
Emma, non vedente, usa gli altri sensi, tatto in primis, per sperimentare il mondo. Ecco il suo avvicinarsi a Alexander, il toccarlo, l’inspirarne gli odori e cercarne il calore
Leggere Veil è come assaporare una cioccolata calda, indulgendo nella sua corposità e lasciando che stuzzichi il palato quanto il sapore.

ENG: I fell in love with Veil at first sight: the delightfully retro style won me over. The clothes, hairstyles, set design and props are absolutely perfect. Each volume is a small artbook, and there is no illustration that would look out of place in the most famous fashion magazines. And then there is a subtle and enveloping sensuality permeating every table. Emma, blind, uses her other senses, especially touch, to experience the world. Here is his approach to Alexander, touching him, inhaling his smells and seeking his warmth Reading Veil is like savoring a hot chocolate, indulging in its body and letting it tantalize the palate as much as the flavor.

honestly, i'm still thinking about this manga days after finishing it. it's pure art, truly.
there's not much storytelling, at least not in a usual form. the manga seems like a collection of different scenarios that just happen to create a story.
but what elevates this manga is the art style. i adore it!! the vintage style (both in art and in characters) makes it so interesing. i can easily imagine panels from this manga being published in a fashion magazine.
now i just need to have it in physical for my collection♡

A gorgeous manga that follows a blind woman seeking independence and the officer she stumbles across one day. Told through short vignettes and monologues, we slowly watch as they get closer and their relationship grows. The artwork in this book is absolutely beautiful! It has a vintage feel, and some pages were so beautiful I would absolutely buy a print for my wall. Can’t wait to continue on with this series!

I honestly didn't know what was going on the entire time other than it was about a policeman who gets a blind girl a job answering phones at his precinct.

"Veil" is a very nice book. An unusual detail is that she is blind and he is a police officer and both have no names. I like it very much, because you can feel closer to the two of them. The story describes a tender getting to know and exploring two completely different realities of life. I really like how the relationship between the two is developing. And the drawing style is also something completely different than usual. Even if you don't see an offensive romance, the mutual attraction is evident in the small gestures of everyday life.

I saw everyone talking about this manga on twitter, so thank you netgalley for letting me read it! The art work is beautiful. The colors, the fashion, the intimate bond these two characters have is apparent in all the art of them together.

Their story is told through short snippets of their lives together. It's so soft and gentle, and that comes across so well.

Sweet little collection of sequential storytelling, sketches, and the occasional bit of prose about a 40s styled romance between a blind heiress and a policeman.

Veil Vol. 1 is a masterful blend of moving storytelling and breathtaking artwork. Set in a nostalgic Paris, it follows a strong, independent protagonist who radiates confidence despite her disability. Her loving relationship with her partner is a testament to true devotion, free from pity.

The artwork for this manga was absolutely stunning! The blend of vibrant and soft colors kept me wanting more. The portraits in the book were all beautiful, and the way the fashion was depicted really transported you to Paris. Seeing how the two of them interacted was super cool. He was always looking out for her, and I love that.

The author really did a beautiful job, and I highly recommend it if you're into colorful and detailed artwork.

Veil Vol. 1 is a masterpiece of manga that blends a deeply moving story with breathtaking visuals. Set in a nostalgic Paris, the story follows a strong, self-assured protagonist who, despite her disability, radiates confidence and determination. Her relationship with her partner is a pure and heartfelt love—one that is built on devotion rather than pity.

One of the most outstanding aspects of Veil is its natural and well-executed inclusivity, never feeling forced but rather beautifully organic. Kotteri immerses us in a romance that is both delicate and passionate, where every glance and gesture speaks volumes beyond words.

The artwork is nothing short of extraordinary, evoking the beauty of Parisian museums. Each page is a masterpiece, transporting readers through time and space. Veil Vol. 1 is a visual and emotional journey that leaves an unforgettable mark.

If love was a couple, it would be them.

I’m so happy I got to read this! I had seen this book online and had been wanting to read it so the fact that I got read it now is reeeeally cool.

Reading this felt like drinking hot chocolate on a rainy day or snuggling in to your blanket when the temperature is just right. It was warmth, comfort and love. Not only their words, but their actions towards each other really made feel how comfortable they were In each other’s presence.

I loved the main characters! I love their banter and how they were with each other. their personalities and quirks complemented each other so well despite coming from different backgrounds. I will for sure be reading more for them individually and together.

The art was beautiful! The art was as part of the dialogue as the words were. The intimacy, the touches and expression really brought it all together. The color palette was gorgeous and pleasing to the eye I want to eat it (sorry).

Translation was great! I understood what was being said and how they were saying it. there were 2-3 speech bubbles I had to reread to see if I understood it right, but it did not taking away my enjoyment from read at all and I was able to understand the context on my own.

The story is more of a non-linear out of chronological order sort of way, it is more like popping in randomly on their day-by-day, so if your looking for a cohesive structured story then this is not for you. But I 100% recommend giving it a chance for the characters and beautiful art!

I was thrilled to receive this ARC from the publisher and NetGalley, it was one of my most anticipated translated mangas and it did not disappoint. The art style is fantastic and the romance is perfection. I can’t wait to own a physical copy! Opinions are my own.

I was blown away by the art style in this manga, it's stunning. Everything was so visually pleasing and I loved the fashion. The moments of quiet intimacy and the emphasis on the sense of touch were so beautiful. I am definitely interested in owning a physical copy and look forward to reading more of the series!

had previously seen this comic last year and it was wonderful to revisit it. The characters, color palette, and artwork all worked together in perfect harmony to orchestrate this lovely comic. Veil features the relationship between a police officer and blind socialite turned secretary. They have great chemistry and I was just itching as a reader for them to be together romantically. They worked well with each other despite being total opposites. I personally wished it was one large story rather than a series of vignettes. It was spectacular to see these characters again and I'm excited to see what is in store for the second volume.

This is such a cute manga series full of small vignettes about a police officer who helps a blind woman named Emma and their encounters thereafter. The artistic style of the manga is so gorgeous. There is no real compound story, just their every day life with each other. It never states that they are together but you know they have a deep intimacy whenever they are around one another. While I do enjoy this as a starter point of the series, as some get popular and eventually do become a serial, I hope that this is the case for their story too. Great start, can't wait to read more!
