I really enjoy art and the litter designs in between. The story is easy to follow and I like the little comics of them together.

The perfect balance between cool fashion plate aesthetics, cozy interior settings, and silly romantic scenarios this author-artist keeps while also maintaining that air of mystique around her characters... one can only hope to achieve this one day.

Veil Volume 2: Calming Noir is the continuation of the first volume and as such, maintains the fascinating visual quality that surrounds the tender story of the two protagonists. It is a warm, entertaining and viasually beautiful journey.
Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for this advanced reader's copy.

The strange relationship between a young constable and a blind heiress continues. It's still only short scenes where nothing much happens and nothing evolves, followed by a lot of stylish art. As much as I enjoy this visually, it's a bit tiring as a story.

Thank you NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for this arc!
5/5 stars
Ahh this volume was just soooo chill. Reading this feel like being wrapped in her luxurious coats, with him watching over you with a gentle smile. The vignettes in this volume were much more concise than the first one, and just as beautiful! I really love the art style, it has a vintage feel that you dont often see anymore. I can't wait to continue with this series

I adore everything about this. Every interaction between these two lowers my blood pressure, that's how wholesome it is. It's nothing but sweetness and support with a sweet dose of banter that hits all the right spots.
The art is utterly perfect; from the line work to the coloring and the amazing attention to detail put into every outfit, there is not a single thing to criticize.
Delighted thanks to NetGalley and UDON Entertainment for the delightful read!

Volume two feels very much as an art piece and a love story all in one.
There were so many cute and swoon worthy moments that will keep anyone's heart hooked.
The art is what really draws you in to the romantic feel of this story, you are taking a glimpse inside a heart in the most beautiful way.
Where there is no real "Plot" it almost flows together as a collection of beautiful moments stung together , leaving the reader to fill in the blanks and become apart of the experience.
Thank you NetGalley and UDON Entertainment for the Digital ARC for review.

I wanted to give this one a chance as well but it wasn't my cup of tea. The story was very disorganized and really hard to follow. Not my favorite manga story.

Veil Volume 2: Calming Noir, translated by Jocelyne Allen, is a beautifully illustrated and emotionally satisfying continuation of the story. This time around, (versus Vol.1) the narrative is much more grounded and easier to follow, which made the relationship between the two main characters feel more real and meaningful. There’s a quiet elegance to the way their connection unfolds—subtle, tender, and filled with nuance.
The artwork is, once again, exquisite—ethereal and expressive, with a strong sense of atmosphere and mood. I often found myself lingering on certain panels just to take in the beauty of the linework and composition. The visuals alone are a reason to pick up this volume, but unlike the first, the story here is strong enough to match.
It’s a lovely blend of visual storytelling and emotional depth, and it left me feeling much more connected to the characters and their world. I’m genuinely looking forward to what comes next.
Thank you to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the opportunity to read this early. Veil Volume 2: Calming Noir is set to be released on July 15, 2025.

Once again, the artwork was beautiful, and I loved it. Just like the first volume, the storytelling was simple. I also enjoyed the interactions. I had good time reading this manga.

In Volume 2 in a series centered around the story of Emma, a runaway heiress turned phone operator, and Alexander, a Police Security officer. The flirtation intensifies in this manga as you can sense their growing passion towards each other. Again, the author uses beautiful illustrations and witty dialogue to show their building relationship. I can not wait for the next installment in this series.

This is such a comfort read for me. Because of its unique structure and the way it captures moments in time with our two main characters, this is something you read more for the vibes and the ambiance than plot or complicated character work. The character development is subtle, but it’s there. Subtle is a good way to describe this, I think. Everything happens at a leisurely pace; the movement of the art itself soft and languid and reflective of the gentleness the main characters treat each other with. It’s truly such a beautiful story. I can't wait to continue!

this is a comfort manga for me. the story which may not have a usual structure and the art style make together truly a masterpiece. it's so suddle in its developement and portraying of those two characters that you feel like in a dream with both of them.

Thanks to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the ARC.
Much of the same as volume 1 except this time, Him and Her have names (Alexander and Emma), and we are introduced to a few side characters. We are still riding off vibes and pretty pictures, though. I am fine with this, but I can see how this might not be enough for some people to want to continue the series.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this gorgeous ARC. This series isn’t just a graphic novel—it’s an experience. A magnificent one to be more specific.
Kotteri’s art is, once again, breathtaking. Every panel is masterfully done and rich in detail. There’s an elegance to the visual storytelling that feels effortless, but you know it took care and precision.
The narrative itself is delicate and quiet. It’s not about loud plot points—it’s about feeling. About mood. It reads like a memory you’re not sure you actually lived through, but it leaves you with emotion anyway. There’s something deeply human in its stillness—a gentle ache, a longing, a sense of a deeply felt emotion.
Ps: This my second attempt in trying to get the arc of the rest of the volumes. PLEASE!
Thank you 🤍

On a cobblestone street, a moment was shared by two people. One day, by chance… he, a police officer met she, a runaway heiress. She was looking for a job and he welcomed her as the new police station receptionist.
I'm genuinely in love with this one!! The art style is absolutely stunning, and the film like storytelling is superb!! I love seeing random "scenes" from the characters' lives and just the way they interact with each other. Their dialogue and witty commentary, alongside the unique storytelling, genuinely make for sure a compelling story! I can't wait to see what the author has in store for the next volumes!!
Thank you Udon Entertainment and NetGalley for an arc of this volume!

Veil continues to be a visual tasting menu served up by Kotteri. Even the characters' images as reflected in a teacup look gorgeous. This title continues to be light on the plot, but I suppose by the second volume this qualifies as a slice of life romance between two lovely adults. It's a light read with beautiful art where you just watch two adults flirting with each other. Amidst current events, this volume qualifies as a soothing comfort read.

This story is for the ambience. It’s perfect to relax and giggle at the amazing chemistry the main characters have. But if you’re looking for something with complex character arcs and a clear resolution, this isn’t it.
Veil Volume 2 continues the shenanigans of this elegant couple. There’s flirting, there are some mishaps, and there is a sense that they get closer.
There’s a delicate subtlety to this book and how it manages its characters. It’s not a heart wrenching romance, there’s no dramatic tension at all, but it shows the growth of their love quietly. Like those two friends everyone has that are basically an item but just didn’t make a big fuss about it.
Their character arcs are just as delicate and subtle in that you can see their maturity and how each rubs off on the other.
Veil Volume 2 like it’s predecessor is more like a compilation of short stories and moments between these characters,
All accompanied with the most elegant art.

⋆˚࿔ 4,5 stars! ⋆˚࿔
This was so cute, just like the first volume. There isn't much more to say. It’s simply beautiful in both art style and story. I loved their interactions in this volume. There is so much love between them, and it feels so pure. The manga is filled with heartfelt moments that really tug at my heartstrings.
⋆˚࿔ Thank you to NetGalley, UDON Entertainment, and Kotteri i for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review ⋆˚࿔

Kotteri graces us with this beautiful, colorful, charming manga. It tells the story of a couple who met by chance and develop a beautiful relationship. A friendship that turns into a slow burn romance. I loved it!
