So, the story of the two main leads starts out the same as the first volume. We dive straight into a scene of their everyday lives. The art is still very well done, and reminds me of fashion sketches.

The translation is well done, and is atmospheric in its word choice. The story flows, and reminds me of classic movies with the way the characters talk. The main female lead reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. I love that between the two leads, the quiet intimacy increases from page to page, and from volume to volume. Reading this really does feel like I’m getting a glimpse into their lives, and their slowly evolving relationship. It’s sweet to see how they both pay so much attention to each other, to know each other’s little quirks, and habits and what they mean or signal. The banter between the two main leads is well written, and flows naturally and goes with their expressions brilliantly. I highly recommend this manga for anyone who wants a cute, cozy, atmospheric read.

3.5⭐

This second volume shows how comfortable they’ve become with each other. The teasing and conversations reveal that their relationship is definitely starting to grow, whether as friends or possibly lovers. I also liked that more of their personalities were showcased in this volume, and the small, thoughtful things they do for each other felt rare and refreshing—just being present and attentive with someone.

The artwork is still beautiful and unique, and the colors have improved as well. It’s more vibrant than in the first volume.

Thank you, NetGalley and Udon Entertainment, for providing this ARC.

Veil volume 2 continues with us following snippets of the lives of a visual impaired female lead and a gallant male lead.
The artwork is stunning and the book is filled with extra sketches, illustrations and idea's.
This story tells us how a caring but not full on romantic relationship between them evolves. They become very comfortable with each other and I love to see how subtle these changes are. The pacing of the story snippets and the panels are absolutely stunning.
I hope the other volumes of Veil will be released too because this is a must have.

I'M OBSESSEEEEEEEDDDD

really happy with the English translation. i cannot wait to get me a physical copy. they're so precious

This fantastic translation of the masterpiece Veil continues in volume 2 - once again, there is such lyricism and nostalgic pleasure to be found here! Such a stunning series. I am truly looking forward to further installments!

Thank you to Udon Entertainment and NetGalley for this ARC.

Kotteri continues to charm with the art and colour in volume 2 of Veil. Again, there’s not much in the way of plot - more snippets of conversations between two people but you feel oddly connected to both of them. I felt very much like I was observing something beautiful. I feel very fond of the both of them.

Volume 2 continues with scenes in their lives that are just so cute and fascinating to see. The art has such a warmth about it. Their conversations can be so witty and deep. Their love for each other is apparent and you can tell they love learning more about each other. Every page is like a treat for your eyes. I can’t wait to own a physical copy of this. It's in full color as well.

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

Veil: Volume 1by Kotteri, translated by Jocelyne Allen is a manga that follows the story of Her and Him. She is a runaway heiress. He is a police officer. After a chance meeting, which is like something from a classic film, the two characters find their lives enhanced by each other’s company.
Veil: Volume 2 continues their story together and enhances the whole affair.

I received these books as ARCs (Advanced Readers Copy). I mainly picked them because of their covers. They reminded me of the Twilight manga. The two covers form a whole scene when placed side by side.
The story was short, sweet and simple. There isn’t really much to say. It’s a heartwarming short story that won’t take up much time. I enjoyed the art. I do wish the lettering was a bit darker or thicker. I also received it as an ebook and maybe that was the problem. Or the fact that I don’t have the best eyesight. This is a cozy story about a man and a woman. That’s all. It’s captivating while not having to be too much. I would definitely read more manga about Her and Him.

[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

I adored Volume 1 of Veil, so I had to jump into Volume 2 immediately!

This volume includes more of what I love in this series - beautiful artwork with bonus sketches between chapters, wholesome story full of will-they-won't-they, and impossibly adorable characters. In this one they grow even closer together, slowly building a relationship on the verge of romance. The tension is real!

The illustrations are masterful in how they depict closeness, movement and atmosphere, and they give the stories such depth of emotion. This is still my favorite part and why this series stuck with me instantly.

The only downside is that the stories are very short and I just can't get enough of them! I guess I'll have to re-read these 2 until more become available.

The 2nd volume did not diappoint. The same chemistry, the same amazing art.
I might need to buy these volumes just so I can see the beautiful art in person and not on a screen of a tablet.
Both main characters are adorable and their interractions feel intimate and filled with so much tension! I just want them to kiss already! :D

I seriously cannot get enough of this series.
I will eat every panel up!! Some of my favorites are just the ones of her in different outfits.

This little slice of life is so cute and wholesome. The perfect combination of giggling and kicking my feet.

Give me twenty more!! Again I am so happy this is getting translated and more people can find it. (Also is it too big of a dream to see it animated???)

I read this books back to back!!!
I loved the second volume so much!!!
Their relationship between the two characters grows, they deepen their time with each other, and it is so lovely and so sweet!!!
We feel the love and warmth in their relationship, that has a fine line between friendship and love. And that line is worked very well by the author, by lengths they go with each other, the way they talk and the touches, is all so affectionate and loving that I just want to keep reading and watching them!!!
I just want the story to continue. I want to read so much more of them!!!
I keep loving the monologues they have, we learn a lot about them with it.
And the drawings are just amazing, again with that beautiful contrast of colors, and the little stories of daily life, it's so wonderfully beautiful and well thought.
It's really delicious, this book is a treat.
I need to put my hands on the third one fast!!!!

I really do love this manga series.

We return back into the little stories of Emma and Alexander's lives and I couldn't be happier, they're much closer now and are once again in each others personal space and pushing on that line of friendship and relationship. With their lyrical conversations and stunning art between each chapter, I get more and more obsessed with them. I love that despite Veil being in a 2d form we still get an animated feel to how they speak to each other, especially Emma.
And speaking of Emma I loved the little detail of showing just a black screen and having dialogue and sounds on it as it gives us a little look into her world that she speaks so poetically about.
The art as always was stunning and I want it all on my wall.

Honestly I think the authors quote sums veil up the most "There's this warmth between that can't quite be called friendship or love. With this thin film interposed between them, they amuse each other" I love this thin, dare is say, veil is placed between I know that I certainly view it one way but I also do view it in the interconnected amusing way if that makes sense. I just adore Alexander and Emma's relationship and I love even more that we're not told every single detail because realistically their relationship only matters to each other we the readers don't need to know every single detail, as long as it makes sense to them it makes sense to me.

Thank you to Udon Entertainment and NetGalley for this Arc in exchange for an honest review!!

This book is so romantic and beautiful! Every page is filled with heartfelt moments and vivid emotions that draw you in and leave you breathless. A truly unforgettable love story that speaks straight to the soul!

Thank you to Netgalley, Udon Entertainment, Kotteri, and the story’s translator Jocelyne Allen for an ARC in exchange for a honest review!

Throughly enjoyed the first edition of this series, and the second has proved to be equally wonderful, if not more so now that we know the characters better. There were scenes in this edition that truly made my chest ache at the imagery it proved. And, per usual, the artwork was a marvel.

This volume falls victim to the same issues that I had with the first. The story is told in very small snapshot-style scenes, with a lot of illustrations and a page or two of monologue between scenes. Now, the scenes themselves are lovely. Full of casual romantic intimacy (intimacy as in closeness not [spice]) and are so lovingly drawn. The art, yet again, is beautiful. I hope this series slowly leans a little more towards the story side instead of being 1/4 story and 3/4 illustration.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

This was just as sweet as the first volume! I continued to enjoy the artwork, and I love how it is mixture of colored and sketched images. His and her story was so quiet and realistic.

Thank you to Udon Entertainment and Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for a review.

Just as decadent as the first.

So, I spent most of my review on the first Veil talking about how I wouldn’t be surprised if the art came straight out of a vintage Vogue magazine. That means that I’m going to do my best to focus this review on the writing. Does the comparison to vintage Vogue still stand for the second book? Absolutely.

Each chapter of Veil reads like a short snippet into the lives of the two focal characters. They dance around one another and into and out of each other’s lives. When I think of a story being labelled as “slice of life”, Veil could be the absolute embodiment of that trope. The chapters don’t flow into a complete narrative, but rather just give the reader small glimpses into the relationship between Emma and Alexander.

Because there is a relationship between the two characters, and in each chapter, we’re given a multitude of sides to that relationship. Coworkers, companions, friends, lovers. The characters show so much while saying so little. If I could find someone to share the quiet intimacy that these two do, I might find myself to be significantly less aromantic.

And the writing itself? It’s at times positively poetic. In particular, I find the his and her monologues to read like poetry off the page. They have a rhythm and lyric-quality to them that lend themselves toward the poetic.

Learning from the author’s afterword of this one that these two books originally came about as doodles and small snippet postings online that culminating in them being collected into these two anthologies makes so much sense. I loved hearing about Veil’s conception, and the sweet little community they fostered online.

I’m grateful to have been given the chance to share in part of the character’s lives, and I look forward to seeing more if they have anything else to say.

Veil 2 was adorable, again the art was beautiful and i loved to see how this relationship is blooming.
