Synopsis

On a cold and silent day, a man and a woman meet. He is Aleksander, a police officer, and she is Emma, a young, blind woman who has fled her home in search of independence. As it happens, Aleksander's station needs someone to take calls. They make an unlikely pair—a small, stylish woman and a tall, intimidating man—but something tentative and intimate blossoms between them, resembling neither friendship nor love, as if a thin, transparent veil is raised between them.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

I always say how much I love Kotteri drawing gestures esp the sequences of their hand movements– hands with so much tenderness & warmth reaching out til their fingertips touch & fall down into the skin of another.

In the first few volumes, we see so much of a couple epitomising the many subtle ways of showing intimacy. As the volume progresses, we can also see the clarity of the veil that is within Emma and Aleksander's relationship- that is, the love that is continually blossoming yet still somehow confined by this veil. There’s sooo much love embedded in Emma & Aleksander’s subtlest, tiniest gestures that ... scream “I love the nearnesss of you.”

Volume 4 looks to me like an emphasis on Aleksander’s gaze to Emma; how Emma’s grasps allow him to surrender to her touch, leaving him to stare at her ‘to his heart’s content’. His eyes emanating with admiration over her beauty, wandering around as he starts to unravel her habits. Frustration of wanting to touch her & this ‘veil’ comes in between. Kotteri said there are scenes we feel the veil tremble slightly & I think scene 39 highlights that the most. Veil that is used to describe their relationship, intimacy & closeness & familiarity & sometimes the restraints.

One of my favourite parts in Volume 5 is Aleksander & Emma verbosely addressing their relationship that is still fringed by a thin veil yet both, so outwardly, holding onto the same fondness for each other that keeps growing. I really think that is the allure of their special connection. Aleksander talking about Emma, grasping the glass as he thinks of how she sees & familiarises by her touch. How Emma relishes at the mere presence of Aleksander & his ornate ways of describing her. They are just so so magnetically intimate with each other I’m so in love with them.

In Volume 6, we see what is, indeed, the first compendious dive on Emma’s inner introspection about not being able to see. We have always known that Emma sees best through the touch that comes from her gentle hands, & this volume has reiterated that more than ever. What I love the most is reverting to this very fact; Emma was starting to see her world with dull colours, then we see Aleksander extending his hands & painting Emma with warmth, the way she has always viewed the world. Really stunning how essentially the colours were used here.

We see so much of their shared vulnerabilities to their own worries, & each time they see through another & show their admiration in their own language: which I think are all a testament to their blossoming relationship. Aleksander and Emma's mutual awareness that is constantly heard, felt, seen… such beautiful subtleties of their intimate bond.

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 ...

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 ...
