"Veil" was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I didn’t know what to expect beyond the illustrations I had seen before, but it absolutely did not disappoint. This manga isn’t a traditional story but rather a blend of short comics, illustrations, monologues, and dialogues that come together in such a beautiful and captivating way.
The plot revolves around a police officer and a blind girl who has run away from home, and their relationship is… strange, but in the best way possible. Nothing is explained explicitly, and that’s what makes it so special. Their connection is incredible, as if everything is left up to the reader to decide how much to read between the lines. For me, this manga explores the depth of human connections with impressive delicacy. It’s felt in the smallest gestures, like a touch of hands, or in those moments that exist somewhere between friendship and romance. It’s simply beautiful.
I also have to mention the excellent translation work. I’m so happy that mangas like this are reaching more people thanks to such thoughtful translations. I really hope they keep bringing more works like this because they’re truly a gift.
I’m incredibly grateful to have had the chance to read Veil thanks to NetGalley and UDON Entertainment. If you’re looking for something unique, this manga is absolutely perfect.
