The illustrations are breathtaking. I find the retro style drawings to be so captivating, there were many moments where I wish I was holding the physical copy so I could rip out the pages to hang them up in my house. The still shots of her in different outfits or them sitting together between each scene were so stunning, I’m in awe of the artist. I also really enjoy the handwriting style font. The relationship between the two was intriguing to me as well. I love their playful banter with each other and their ease in every situation knowing the other is there. I would definitely recommend this to people I know.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this manga in exchange for my honest opinion!

This artwork is absolutely stunning, gorgeous, all the words for "beautiful" you can think of. I adore the characters and can't wait to see where their story goes! I've got all my fingers and toes crossed that they end up together.

I liked the monologue in between the stories amd the reveal at the end there names. Story wise , felt very old vogue and snapshots of daily lives between a police officer and a blind rich girl whose a runaway seeking independance is refreshing to see.

The experience of reading this was like thumbing through old vogue patterns while Frank Sinatra sings My Way and there is an Audry Hepburn film on. It feels Vintage, in the most aesthetic of ways.

As for story, I suppose there is one in a very abstract kind of way. This whole thing is a series of snapshots of Him and Her, though they don’t have names but they are revealed to us at the end in a little about me kind of panel. Which was very surprising to me because the girl had my name and was my age, a little freaky since I was not expecting it, but that will earn the book a cookie.

Read this if you are of the classic persuasion and want something nice and slow.

A collection of vignettes that offer snapshots into a relationship between a police officer and a blind runaway. This is all about quiet yearning, glimpses of intimacy and banter. The art style is beautiful and nostalgic. A cosy read that I will be re-reading.

I don’t think I loved the writing style but I am loving the art so much! I do have an appreciation for the relationship between the two MCs. It was very cozy almost and light.

Kotteri's Veil is subtitled as Calming Noir and I found that description very fitting.

The story follows a police officer, Aleksander, who stumbles upon a blind heiress on the run named Emma. He offers her a job and his friendship, and from there the manga follows slice-of-life vignettes of their life together. Their dynamic is immediately heart-warming, and the story is light on plot, heavy on cozy atmosphere and the growing domestic feelings between the two.

I loved the unique formatting of this manga - each chapter is cushioned by detailed art of the characters in the artist's signature style oozing in the settings' mid-1950s aesthetics. There are also short prose sections from each of the characters' perspectives. One point is even from the perspective of the tableware watching the leads eat!

I appreciated several small details that Udon brought to the table with this volume. Instead of the standard block script so common in manga, we have a uniquely slanted font that adds a great deal to the offbeat, charming atmosphere of the story.

Overall, Veil is an appealing, vivid full-color manga with great characters and a great sense of style. I highly recommend this for fans of romance manga interested in a slice-of-life or historical read.

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

Wow! What a beautiful collection of "snapshots"! This is definitely more of a leisure read where you want to just sit and stare at the beautiful panels and not one that you rush through. I love the longing that we can feel through the pages from both these characters.

personally the style of writing isn't for me, but I absolutely adore the art and the relationship between our leads which is written so tender and awesome🥹

Sweetest story I've read in a while.
Incredibly beautiful illustrations, I'm weeping at how pretty they are. The chemistry between the main characters are witty and cute, also, gorgeous character design! Fashionable, easy-to-read, fun and lighthearted, I could just stare at them forever.

Veil: Volume 1 by Kotteri is a romance manga that is beautifully drawn. The characters are interesting, and the story is engaging.

The manga is about a rich, blind woman who meets a police officer, and he offers her a job answering phones at the police station. Romance blooms between the woman and the police officer as they get to know each other more!

I highly recommend this manga! Thank you, NetGalley and Udon Entertainment, for sending me a copy of Veil: Volume 1! I can't wait to read the second volume!

Thank you, NetGalley and Udon Entertainment, for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A police officer encounters a runaway blind heiress looking for work, and that's where the story begins to unfold.

I honestly didn’t know where the story was going, as I read this with no prior expectations. The story was okay, though not much happened plot-wise. It felt more like glimpses of their relationship with each other. However, I really enjoyed reading their perspectives of one another—it was heartwarming.

The artwork feels like something from a vintage fashion magazine, especially with the detailed wardrobes of each character. I also loved that it was in color, which really brought the artwork to life.

Stunning art style. The narrative is presented as little snapshots into the lives of our main characters. Sweet, romantic, gorgeous.

Thanks to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the arc!

Veil is a wonderfully illustrated manga with bits of extra art between these glimpses of story. The characters are fun and interesting, and the art is in full color! It really brings out the fun vibrancy in these little slices of life of each chapter.
Can’t wait to read volume 2!

How does one even go on to describe this magnificent piece of art that is FINALLY being translated? Simply put, it's like a fashion magazine and manga artist decided to have a baby. The result? Beautiful character art and bright vibrant colors and wardrobe worthy fashion. Now onto our main characters, Emma and Aleksander. The manga mainly follows various snapshot into the lives of these two best friends (to be read as soulmates). They are literally the sweetest and most precious of characters and you can quite literally FEEL their love and respect for one another through every action and piece of dialogue. In conclusion, if you weren't a romantic before, this manga will make you yearn for even a smidge of their relationship.

*Huge thank you to NetGalley for an E-Arc of this gem <3

this actually turned out everything i wanted in a manga lmao i had such a bad read yesterday and this book delivered.

a police officer on duty crosses paths with a runaway heiress, and their lives intertwine in the most unexpected and delightful way. this isn’t your typical story where everything unfolds in perfect order—oh no ma'am. every scene is like a little snapshot of their lives, out of sequence, leaving you to piece together their relationship like a heartwarming puzzle. one moment, you’re watching them share a quiet moment, and the next, BAM! a dialogue page hits you with their inner thoughts from a completely different scene. genius.

oh it doesn’t stop there. the dialogue pages? it also include strangers’ perspectives, like you’re eavesdropping on random people who can’t help but notice how much these two care for each other. it's so quirky, it’s clever, and it’s chef’s kiss. the ART? stunning—seriously, every panel could be framed and hung on a wall. the vibe is so sweet, so wholesome. the European style fashion is gorgeous too but i didn't care for it as much lmao. but here is one of the twist in the story:

you don’t even learn their names or ages until the very end, but by then, you’re already hooked. by the time that big reveal rolls around, you’re like, “WAIT THAT'S IT WHAT THE HELL?????????" so what did i do? i immediately started book 2 hahahahaha

huge thanks to Udon Entertainment for giving me the chance to read this gem in exchange for my honest review. And let me tell you, this isn’t just an honest review—it’s a love letter. i can’t wait to snag my own copy because this book deserves a permanent spot on my shelf (and maybe in my heart) ❤️

I've been a fan of Veil for years now, and was thrilled to learn an English translation was being released. This translation did not disappoint - the beauty and lyricism of the story and dialogue has been perfectly captured, and it flows so well with the absolutely gorgeous art. Veil is a masterpiece - no one should miss this series!

Thank you to Udon Entertainment and NetGalley for the ARC.

There’s something very compelling about this. There isn’t much in the way of plot but it’s very comforting. The illustrations remind me of old fashion magazines - very fluid and feminine. Beautiful use of colour. I thought it was sublime!

He is a police officer who was on duty and she is an heiress who ran away from her house. Every little scene is just a snippet and view into their lives and not necessarily in order. You just feel their care for the other. A scene will go by and then there will be a dialogue page of their thoughts from a previous scene. It's neat. The dialogue pages even have points of view from strangers who view them. The art is absolutely gorgeous and it has such a sweetness and happiness about it. And the fashion is so beautiful. You don't know their names or ages till the end but that makes it even more great because by the time you get there you just want even more information about them. I’m so glad it’s been translated to English and I can’t wait to have my own copy. It's in full color too!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for sharing this book with me in exchange for my honest review.

[review for both volumes 1 & 2] i liked the first volume but wasn’t completely sold until the second which i loved. i love the characters & the art is so beautiful & i would love to have physical copies just to get to look at all the outfits and the expressive artwork up close <3
