an insane exploration of a subtle type of intimacy between two individuals through beautiful art sequences in a way that makes me want to jump off a cliff. every scene is so short yet so accurate to everything it wants to achieve. so sensual.

Este manga me encantó mucho. La historia y el arte son bellos. La historia se cuenta por pequeños episodios y de ahí se desarrolla todo. Los dibujos extras ayudan a resaltar la historia. Es un slow burn pero bien lindo. Los personajes son lindos y la química se da muy bien. Emocionada por leer el resto de los volumenes, cuando salga la publicación los estaré comprando.
Esta versión, es la primera traducción al inglés, y al momento solo hay dos publicaciones. En otros idiomas ya hay más publicaciones a la venta.

Breathtaking. One of the purest distillations of romance I think I've ever encountered, as much about what you don't see than what's on the page itself. The quiet ease and intimacy between the two leads speaks volumes, even without the conventional depictions of kisses or sex. It's a warm, lingering embrace captured in a single volume. I've fallen head over heels for Veil and I can't wait to wrap myself in the rest!

I have heard about the Veil manga for a while, and over the past few years I have been hoping for it to get an english release so I was excited to be able to review this! I want to thank Udon Entertainment and NetGalley for this ARC!
This manga follows a police officer and runaway heiress that through chance, encountered each other on the street, thus beginning their intertwined story. The artwork for this manga is beautiful and the adaptation to the English format from Japanese is extremely well done. I am happy that the colour found in the digital version will be carried over into print as I found the colour work done by Kotteri is part of the story. Needless to say this is a great slice of life/romance manga that takes the form of vignettes from the everyday life of Emma and Aleksander.
I look forward to reading future volumes of this manga upon it's English release!

There was he - an-on duty police officer in the city. There was she - a runaway heiress. An early morning, a chance encounter, and like the unspooling of a classic film, there is now He and She. As She looks for work, He offers her a position as the police station's telephone operator, and what follows is Their everyday lives, told in snippets and vignettes - Their story, and the delicate and unseen spaces in between.
If you're chronically online like me, you've probably seen the art for this series before - it's striking, elegant, decadent, and in a few short pictures the artist manages to capture a million emotions, creating spaces for questions, for longing, and for a voracious appetite for more of our He and She. This is the first time "Veil" is available in English translation and print as far as I know, and I soaked up every page - this is a rather untraditional manga and "book", in the sense that the story is as much in the seen as it is in the unseen (PUN INTENDED). While lacking a solidly linear timeline and progressive plot, we get instead intimate shots and occasional landscapes of He and She as they meet, work together, and otherwise get tangled up in the thin veil between friendship and romance as they carry out their daily lives. It's truly unique, beautiful, and refreshing in a way I haven't seen in a long time. I crave the next volume and those to come!
Thank you very much to NetGalley, Udon Entertainment, and Kotteri for an Advanced Reader's Copy of this title!
