I love this series. The aesthetic is so beautiful with the colors and sketches, it's perfect. I really like these little slices of life and seeing their relationship evolves. Really interested in continuing this manga!

This was the perfect follow-up to the story, and it was so nice to see them get closer and better understand how she experiences the world through smell, touch, and sound. The colors and the art in the story are to die for. I absolutely love them!

This was a nice follow up, it has the same vibe but the story feels a little cozier in a way, it's entertaining and the artwork it's really fitting and beautiful!

More of the same as last volume, but the color work is gorgeous, as is the style. It’s like a Leydendecker painting but het

Excellent follow up in the series. Loved the romance, the art style and the overall plot. I’m very excited to explore more volumes. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC! Opinions are my own.

Thank you to Udon Entertainment for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I am becoming slightly obsessed with this manga. Not only is the artwork exquisite, but I have settled into the rhythm of the snapshots of the main characters' new lives together.

I would say this volume seems to infer that their relationship is progressing into something romantic - they are far more comfortable with each other in many ways, but nothing overt happens. This is tantalising and I think it is up to the reader to decide what happens between them when the manga panels end.

I can't wait to get my hands on physical copies of this manga and for subsequent volumes to become available!

Loved love loved this, the art is a masterpiece and the romance? I loved it so much. I need to buy the physical copy asap

They are the perfect combination of soft and intimate but also funny. The vibes are just ✨ immaculate ✨

Veil Volume 2: Calming Noir by Kotteri!

🎨Kotteri’s artwork is beautifully romantic, and you can see their love for the female form, fashion, and human connection in each detail. The entire story feels like a romantic art book, and the details tell you so much more when you look closely.

🌹These volumes embody the tiny, beautiful moments in a budding relationship. The smallest details aren’t overlooked: moments together sitting on the couch, having a cup of coffee or a sip of alcohol, walking down the street, or simply existing with one another. These little moments are illustrated and conveyed in a way that demonstrates the growing love and comfort of our runaway heiress and Mr. Police Officer.

😌It is a simple, cozy, and wholesome read that leaves you wanting more. Every little touch, smile, blush, and flirtation brings butterflies to my stomach as you remember the beautiful beginnings of love and the little daily comforts of a long, loving relationship.

in a world full of explicit content (who I don't dislike at all) it was quite refreshing reading this slow burn where you can feel the feeling toward each mc without any kiss

Veil is a simple story. We follow 'her' and 'him' as they bump into each other and become colleges, friends, and potentially, something more. Emma is a runaway heiress, desperate to find her independence despite her blindness. Alexander is a police officer who offers her a job as a receptionist.

The story is told through quick vignettes, showing us simple glimpses of their lives as they grow closer. This whole series is effortlessly romantic. Every chapter is full of longing, soft glances, and heart achingly sweet touches. There's so many small details that make this so tender. He always touches her hand before touching her face, just to let her know it's him. She asks him to describe colors or paintings, and never fails to compliment his romantic descriptions. He gives her near full independence, but she never wants it if he isn't with her.

While my thoughts are mainly the same with this volume as the previous one, this does show both characters more playful sides as they grow more comfortable with each other.

Then there's the art. It's absolutely stunning. I love manga artists who have a strong love for fashion, which Kotteri clearly does. Emma is always in beautiful dresses and furs, her hair done in curls. Even Alexander's police uniform, which he wears most of the scenes, is striking and fits him perfectly. Both volumes are in full color, mainly primary pastels, and it gives this dreamlike vintage feel. There are also tons of wonderful standalone art pieces filling out the pages. They look like something ripped straight from a fashion magazine.

Ahhhhh right from the start my heart melted and I have not stop smiling since! Emma and Alexander grew closer in this second volume and i thought they were even more radiant and beautiful together because of their growing feelings! And not only was their sweet and soft romance adorable, but I also LOVED the fashion in this series of vignettes...probably a tiny bit more than the first! The artwork was just as striking as before, with brilliant composition, dazzling colour and energetic layouts that had fantastic flow! I loved both Veil 1 & 2 and both of these volumes so far were a gorgeous capture of their cinematic love story that will live on in my heart and my mind for a very long time!

I loved getting to see more of Emma and Aleksander’s relationship. Their dynamic together is so entrancing. I’m obsessed with the art style and color palette.I especially appreciate how the author writes Emma’s blindness, the ease which it’s included. And the situations the characters end up in due to it. Just adorable.

Will definitely be preordering this one.

another GORGEOUS book. the first one was amazing but this one was absolutely STUNNING!!! i need to read more of them immediately!!

Veil is a gorgeously illustrated slice of life series about a young, wealthy, blind woman and a policeman who becomes her protector when she leaves home to try and discover how to make it on her own. She's quite literally lost on her own in the city. We get very little story and plot overall but each "scene" is a beautifully drawn segment of a moment or a day the pair spend together.

I jumped right into volume 2 from Volume 1 and I got to say, I feel like Vol. 2 took their relationship up a notch. It got even cozier and we could see the relationship evolving with each snippet. Again the artwork delivers such a 1960s vibe with the outfits and one shot pages. I absolutely adore the main characters relationship. They were kind of dancing around their affection for one another in this one and I enjoyed the dynamic between the two. I would love to see more of them but I would even be happy with this being open ended and just imagining their days continue like this forever.

The beautiful art and story continue to impress in this volume. I love the format of the story, the little paragraphs and scenes from everyday life. It's a lovely, cosy read that lets you relax and enjoy the beauty of the art and characters.

Volume 2 of Veil is much like the first. More beautiful artwork and story looking into the day-to-day lives of Emma and Alexander. The writing and artwork is done so well that each little glimpse into the relationship of Emma and Alexander tells more than most longer stories that follow a traditional story arc.

Volume 2 of Veil delivers more of the gorgeous visuals present in the first volume. With introductions done, this volume can focus on showing more intimate moments between our two main characters. With the knowledge from Vol.1, I was able to better appreciate the story vignettes provided in Vol.2. The art style is just as gorgeous as it was in the first volume. The full-color pages add to the overall vibes of the book. Thank you Udon Entertainment for providing this eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Going into volume 2, my feelings remain the same as for the first volume. I’m still not a fan of slow, slice-of-life storytelling, so the narrative didn’t grab me. However, the art continues to be absolutely breathtaking. If you loved volume 1, you’ll likely enjoy this continuation, but for me, it remains more of an artbook experience than a story I’m invested in.
