Veil #1
Veil : Température orange
Veil est plus un rêve que vous avez fait qu'une histoire que vous lisez, et elle persiste de la même manière, des détails flous mais des émotions qui flottent définitivement dans votre cœur. Entre livre d'illustrations et manga, cette histoire en deux volume est construite comme une représentation de petits moments de vie entre les deux protagonistes, interrompus par de sublimes illustrations offrant comme un sentiment de rêverie. L’homme est un officier de police, la femme est aveugle ou du moins n’ouvre jamais les yeux. Les noms, les lieux, l’époque n’ont pas d’importance, car notre plaisir consiste à simplement les regarder se rapprocher l’un de l’autre à travers les chapitres.

The art style in this is so vintage and unique. Such elegant, genuine vibes with short chapters and a very sweet dynamic between the two main characters. Reading this feels like being in an odd, romantic daydream~

I am trying to think of how to start this review because I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!
I've seen plenty of art of Veil, but reading the volume for the first time FAR surpassed my expectations! I adored it so much!! The number of butterflies I felt when reading and the squeals I had were so much greater than I had prepared for and cannot wait to hold this physically!
Outside of my excited feelings, it's hard to compare this manga to anything I've read before because it truly reads like an art book with a touch of story to connect it all. It's an incredible experience as a reader because there are always pages of art between each chapter and then even occasionally a monologue from our lead's perspective. I really really enjoyed the flow of the story and how it was such a visual feast to the eyes!
For our leads, I LOVED them both! I especially love how smitten our police officer is with our girl! This is the second romance I've read with a smitten male lead and I'm thriving! I love how he couldn't take his eyes off of her and was a total (sincere) smooth talker! I also loved our female lead because she is strong, fierce, and fun! She is a wonderful heroine to read about and admire her wanting to experience the world and all its beauty.
Truly, I cannot wait to read more of this series and desperately hope we have fast physical releases because this is one I am very much looking forward to rereading often! Highly recommend it!
*(I received an e-copy via NetGalley, but have had this volume on PO since December. All thoughts are my own.)*

Him picking out her outfits and doing her makeup for her? I'm in shambles. It's often hard to find manga where the disabled person is treated equally to the "love interest", and I'm beyond pleased with how carefully her disability is represented. Beautiful art with a tender story.

I am mesmerized, mindblown, heartwarmed with these little idyllic stories of a couple in the city. And the ART!!! I can’t, it gives me all the feels.

Bellissimo. Lo sfoglierei per ore. La storia è delicata e fatta di un mosaico di piccoli momenti dolci tra i due protagonisti.
January 29, 2021
Beau, sensuel et d'une précieuse élégance. Une bande dessinée qui s'apparente plus à un livre d'art, non pas tant par les nombreux et magnifiques dessins mais aussi par sa forme atypique, certaines pages sont simplement des courts monologues intérieurs des deux personnages principaux. On suit avec volupté les courtes scènes qui rapprochent Emma et Aleksander, tombant allègrement sous le charme l'un de l'autre. Mais il n'y a pas d'histoire a proprement parlé, d'ailleurs l'on apprend leur prénom qu'en toute fin de volume. Peu d'explications sur leur vie respective, juste des instants de vie, presque palpables. Une oeuvre qui met tout les sens en éveil de la plus gracieuse des façons.

I love this so much I’m just waiting for an official English release so I can buy a physical copy. If I could I would inject this manga in my blood system

This romance manga provided me the same warmth that Anastasia (1997 film) gave me when I was a child. It felt nostalgic even with me going in blind. *ba dum tss*
From blurb:
Like a classic film, he and she encountered each other by chance. He was an on-duty police officer in the city. She was a blind, runaway heiress. When he learned that she is looking for work, he decided to welcome her as the police station’s telephone operator� this was the beginning of the everyday lives of he and she, and the delicate distance between them.
My thoughts:
I feel like I reverted back to being a child wrapped in my favorite blanket. This was breathtakingly beautiful as a whole. The unique and vintage art style, the slow burn and pure friendship between the main characters, the witty dialogue and monologue, and most importantly, the wonderful storyline.
With this being a lighthearted, leisure read with beautiful illustrations, you’ll definitely want to take your time to admire instead of rushing.
Regular manga reader or not, Veil will be one of those reads where you think “everyone needs to read this.� I will think of these characters and story for a long time. Truthfully, I cried at a wholesome moment. I cannot wait to read the rest of the volumes.
Huge huge thanks to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for allowing me to read this auto-approved ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The first volume of Veil doesn't really tell us much about the plot of the story, I guess, but the art is spectacular. Not only the colours and figures have a dreamlike quality, but that is reflected in the barely there conversations between the two protagonists, who seem to communicate through their silences and fleeting touches.
If you liked Mr Darcy's hand scene in Pride and Prejudice (2005) you might like this manga.

such a sweet sweet manga series. the main couple is completely adorable in every which way. super simple dialogue and paneling yet truly holds so much emotion through the art style.

I love manga with beautiful art and this certainly delivered. I can see every page in a fashion magazine, especially Emma's outfits that are drawn with so much detail and how Aleksander's outfits complimented Emma's; they just have such a nice, fancy aesthetic together and I love it. The general aesthetic of this story is just so cute and the art is just so pretty.
Emma and Aleksander's relationship is so- ugh, makes my stubborn heart want what they have desperately. This story is told through snippets of their everyday life together with no particular narrative but it works so well. It shows their bond through little moments really well, they're not grand romantic gestures but that's the reason I like it so much. I definitely have a soft spot for that kind of romance in media. Although, I do have to say I would've liked a progression of how their relationship came to be and then these little moments but I still loved it nonetheless.
I would kill for an English translation physical copy of this and the rest of the manga to be translated, please.

Veil Volume 1: Temperature of Orange
� ⭑⭑�.𝟳𝟱
� In a moment that felt like something out of a classic film, their paths crossed unexpectedly. He was a dedicated police officer, committed to serving his city, and She was a blind runaway heiress, seeking freedom from her family. When she stumbled upon him while looking for work, compassion moved him to invite her into his life. thus began their journey together—a tender exploration of everyday moments, a growing friendship, and the gentle blossoming of romance.
the experience reminds me of wandering through a lush, vibrant garden where the flowers are stunning, but the path is unclear. it's like being entranced by a visually beautiful story that lacks a cohesive narrative flow—you can admire the artistry, but you're still searching for the connections that make the journey meaningful.
i was immediately struck by the stunning art style! the visuals alone managed to hold my attention despite not knowing what the story was about. however, after finishing the first volume, i've noticed a lot of text but not a lot of context, which i'm not entirely used to. a lot of the scenes felt a bit short, skipping over certain events and making it challenging to follow along.
i know the review should focus on the translation but i guess this can also be an area of improvement to the publisher for future books. there’s a portion of the monologue where 'she' receives her first call as the police department's phone operator about a cat, and i think it would have been nice to have seen that moment instead of it just being mentioned to enhance the story. at this point, the scenes were mostly filler scenes, and the monologues seemed to take precedence over the main storyline. there may be people who like these types of graphic novels and some who don't. it may just need a bit of getting used to, especially if you are being served beautiful artwork.
also, a particular point of confusion was the characters' names; it struck me that they never introduced themselves, and in fact, their names weren't mentioned on-screen at all, and i thought i missed it for some reason. the font used also took a bit of time to get used to and i eventually found it charming in a way that complimented both the art style and story.
thank you Udon Entertainment and Net Galley for providing me an arc of the English-translated copy of the first volume of this beautiful graphic novel! �

if there's one thing that stood out to me in this book it's the art style. It's giving 1960s Hollywood glam, Marilyn Monroe-era vibes with the witty dialogue of a 1930s black-and-white film. The choice of colour drew me in from the first page and the two main characters ooze with class I wish this was a movie. TBH stories (especially manga) that treat disabled characters as equals to their s/o is not that common?? so I’m pretty happy with the way the fmc was written and the thoughtful acts of service by the mmc was just the cherry on top! The romance was budding (slow burn, just how I like it <3) and the pacing was quick....though you get kind of just get thrown into the story and the chapters are too short for my linking- the overall reading experience is one i will recommend.

Received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for honest opinion, thanks!
It's such a beautifully drawn story, a real treat for the eyes. Emma and Alexander's history is intriguing, but manga itself consists of just snippets of their life, it's no surprise they're called "scenes" instead of "chapters". I do wish it was more developed, as there is a pure charisma beating under the ink.
Plus it could have been yuri. There was even a kiss between two women! /lh

the scene where they are outside and talking about the stars and he tells her there is one that shines the prettiest and when she asks him to point her face towards it he brushes his knuckles against her chin and says "it's right in front of me"?
the scene where they sleep in on a sunday, all messy and cozy?
the scene where he kneels before her so she can feel his face as she tells him "you are a thousand steps away from me... you should keep close to me, alright"?!
the scene where she kisses his eylid unexpectedly and tells him to keep it safe for her??!
and the art?! it reminds me of older european animated films... ugh im in love 💘

En cuanto vi que la edición española del primer volumen de Veil había salido en venta tenía que hacerme con un ejemplar. Conozco a grandes rasgos a los personajes por las publicaciones de Kotteri! en las redes sociales y me alegra mucho de que nos hayan traído sus cómics traducidos en español. Su edición está muy cuidada y Planeta Cómic ha hecho un buen trabajo, el título de la portada y el número del libro están metalizadas en dorado, hay postales de ilustraciones como extra y las páginas a color. Es fantástico el estilo y el uso de las paletas de colores de la autora, me recuerda a una revista de moda, pero ilustrada. Me ha gustado también que el libro tenga ilustraciones y relatos escritos según el punto de vista de los personajes y casi que me parecía más un artbook (cosa con la que no me quejo, ya que vine por el arte). En cuanto a la trama, nos relatan el encuentro de Emma, una mujer ciega que quiere independizarse y salir de su jaula de oro y Alexander, un policía que trabaja en el Departamento de Seguridad Ciudadana la Comisaría de Sashenka. Le dan a Emma un trabajo como telefonista en la comisaría y de ahí vemos viñetas de momentos cotidianos entre los dos protagonistas sin una línea narrativa en particular. Como fui algo a ciegas pensé que sí habría una trama lineal, pero no fue así, así que en la primera lectura se me hizo la historia algo desarticulada y esperaba poder ver una progresión de la relación entre los dos personajes. Aún así, me ha encantado este tomo con todo el material artístico que conlleva, y lo recomiendo si queréis deleitar vuestros ojos.

Ich bin echt kein Fan von romance, aber das! Das war einfach nur zuckersüß. Aleksander und Emma sind perfekt für einander geschnitten und gleichen sich aus. Ich musste hin und wieder kurz pausieren, um zu realisieren, was die beiden sagen; purer Zucker.
Die Zeichnungen sind so einzigartig und zuvor habe ich sowas noch nie bei einem japanischen Künstler gesehen; erinnert mich sehr an alte französische Magazine.
Die Geschichte folgt keinen genauen Strang, sondern zeigt einfach nur die Beiden in ihrem Alltag; Aleksander als Polizist und Emma als, nun, Emma.
Die Fürsorge Aleksanders gegenüber Emma ist einfach nur herzerwärmend. Die unterbewusste Intimität, das Setting, ihre Outfits (!), die Art, wie sie miteinander reden.

March 9, 2022Very lovely art.
However this is less of a linear story and more like short vignettes of times in these two characters' lives. Mostly small mundane moments that let you know a bit about their backstories but mostly just showing how they relate to one another in snippets

A police officer who meets a rich, blind woman, and he offers her a job answering phones at the police station; and from there we see vignettes of everyday moments between the two protagonists.
The story and the characters are lovely. The author's style is fantastic, it reminds me of a fashion magazine but illustrated. If an artbook is made in the future, it will be spectacular.
