Honestly, I don't have a lot to say. I've read Veil several times at this point, patiently waiting for its next release. It is such a comfort read for me and I just want to be able to give it another good rating to boost its score. I think it's a must read for anyone who appreciates gentle and precious romance with PHENOMENAL art. As someone who is an aspiring artist, I would love to be able to make my art look as natural and alluring as Veil's. Ok, I guess I lied. I have a lot to say. The monologues are so welcome. I ... know almost everyone mentions them, but they really are appreciated. I love seeing the random sketches Kotteri sometimes puts in. Both Emma and Aleksander are so adorable, together and by themselves. I would love for this manga to get an anime, although I don't think it would get full 20 minute episodes. I would honestly be happy if it had short 5 minute episodes or something. Anything that can really show love to the manga. Anything that can really show off just how beautiful it is.

If I must use a couple of words to describe it, it would be visually stunning and full of cuteness.

I picked up this manga thanks to a recommendation from a friend on MAL, and OMG—the art style is absolutely gorgeous! The little vignettes are incredibly stylish, and the story is just so cute. Every moment is filled with tenderness.

This manga is more about mood and atmosphere than plot, with the main character's relationship unfolding through colourful/beautifully illustrated vignettes.

About the Characters: The FL is a mysterious, elegant woman. Her charm is quiet but captivating, and she often expresses herself through subtle glances and gestures rather ... than words - The ML is a gentle reserved officer. He’s sincere and totally into her, but he doesn’t really show it much.

Definitely a must-read!

Veil is a manga that is frankly a very delicious ✨ VISUAL - DELIGHT ✨

Rant incoming. For the past year, I’ve enjoyed more romance manga. But… none of them has left me amazed or stuck with me for more than a day at most after I’ve finished it. Honestly, for me, I just find them a bit predictable and slow like every single one has got to have a fireworks scene with a festival and a beach episode scene. Most romance manga feel like the same story repeated over and over again… with very little variation. Nothing flavoring it up in the relationship aspect.

Anyways! ... After reading 39 chapters. Veil by Kotteri is by far the best romance manga to date and also the most unique out of all the copy-paste stories I’ve read before. It's a full-colored story, drawn beautifully with gorgeous art sprinkled throughout this manga. It captures the everlasting aesthetic of the European (french?) 20th-century lifestyle, with art pieces and fashion designs from that era. I'm completely weak when it comes to visual aesthetics. Ahem, this manga has really short chapters going in, with jaw-dropping cover art of scenes of the two main characters; Emma and Aleksander.

Emma is a blind 21-year-old eloped young woman and Aleksander is a 23-year-old police officer. Most of this story is filled with fluffy and wholesome moments, the characterizations and interactions between the two leads, and their daily lives. I also love that the author added the “Her” and “His” monologue scenes, every 20 chapters the monologue scenes are usually centered around the events of one of the chapters. It adds more detail and layers to our two main characters. Another cool way the author adds more detail is the personification of inanimate objects commenting on Emma and Aleksander’s relationship. Like conversations of a teapot and empty cup, stairs, and a chandelier. I really really love that and I find it cute.

I think the budding relationship between the two characters is the ambiguity of it all and that is what makes it special. There are moments that can be generally read as romantic, and their banter can be coy or flirty. The specialness of their physical connection; not a sexual attraction or focus on body parts. After reading more chapters, I think their relationship feels like it has naturally progressed from a platonic one to a romantic one. Overall, I don't have anything else to say about this manga except that you should give it a read yourself! ♪(´▽｀)
