A través de delicadas ilustraciones, Kotteri sigue mostrándonos el día a día de estos dos entrañables personajes.
Las emociones se transmiten a través de gestos, miradas y de la atmósfera envolvente creada por la autora. Veil es una experiencia que va más allá de la simple narrativa y, con esa belleza estética que tanto caracteriza la obra, seguimos la enigmática relación de los protagonistas.
the scene where he compared her hands to flower petals? the scene where he reaches out to brush hair from her face but stops himself at the last moment and resigns to leaving with just the lighter? the scene where he bends down to tie her shoelaces and she pats him on the head and calls him a good boy? the scene where she calls for his hand and he indulges her and gives he the most adorable im so in love smile??!
One thing I thought was interesting with this volume specifically is that, mainly up to this point, we had a lot of "happy" moments of our leads being silly and doing random things. However, in this volume, we see some "hurt" feelings! I didn't really know what to make of it at first because it was the first time I've seen our female lead not "pout" from something that happened, but instead, was not able to "move on," so to speak, because of how hurt she seemed to be.
I liked it though! I think it made this manga feel even more "real" in the sense that these characters have a backstory that's not all happiness. Granted, I knew that, but like the moment where they are talking and our female lead makes a reference to her sisters or how she was told not to have long hair. Those few moments really pricked my heart!
On a lighter note, I think it has been confirmed that our male lead does, in fact, like our beautiful girl! No, he didn't say it outright, but there was one moment where you could see that longing! Plus, a later scene where they both are touching each other, and he looks at her to see if it meant anything more than the non-romantic act she was doing.
I'm very excited to see what happens next and truly hope that we see the next two volumes before the year ends!
About her skin, she says “like a boiled egg”. About cognac, she says “like the color of your eyes”. She’s not blonde, her hair is “transparent gold”. He’s not a red head. He has “auburn hair”.
Este cuarto tomo ha sido como el cosquilleo que sientes antes de la caída subida en la montaña rusa.
Desde el tercer tomo las escenas son cada vez más largas, aunque hay pequeños extras que aligeran el ritmo entre escena y escena, y los protagonistas te divierten con su elocuencia y viveza. ¡Hasta los objetos cobran vida en esta(s) historia(s)!
Como he dicho, las escenas son más largas y, en consecuencia, la relación de esta pareja más profunda e íntima. Me tienen loca. Pensaba que todo era muy natural para ellos pero a veces te sorprenden con reacciones de vergüenza y timidez conforme evoluciona eso que ellos tienen.
Por último, la propia Kotteri lo dice y se nota tanto, el empeño y el gusto por la alta costura en lo guapa que viste siempre a Emma… y yo lo disfruto tanto. Hasta en las prendas más cómodas, cuando está en su cuarto descansando u holgazaneando, se ven elegantes en ella.
(A propósito de la mencionada montaña rusa, he aprendido cómo se dice feliz Navidad/felices fiestas en ruso: счастливого рождества!)
[chapter 37 - 45] ‘love is in the details’ in action. What do you mean he got distracted looking at her hands <3 is it because shes blind that their interactions are more sensual? And the different ways that she enjoys sightseeing (as she cannot see). Also, the way he expresses himself? ^.^ i wish my man is as gentle. “I wish I had a camera, I’ll just burn it into my eyes”. (Stop right there T.T) They are so cute
I’ve loved every single volume of this series so far, so don’t be surprised that I’ve given them all five star ratings. I must say, the tension between Alexander and Emma is much more powerful in this volume, and whilst their relationship is often written as sweet, this was the one that had the most romantic undertones it felt to me, and I honestly loved it so much. I recently saw that there are in fact seven volumes that exist for this series, there may in fact be more, and it made me so happy. I love getting to feel like I can just slow down and spend time with these characters every time i pick up a volume in the series. I highly recommend giving it a read if you haven’t yet, especially with the volumes being in stock right now as they’ve been difficult to get your hands on, specifically the first two.
This entire series is so fucking good I wanna eat it. Everything is so aesthetic and beautiful and I love the little vignettes into their lives. The pacing and tone is just so good. Aleksander is the perfect man. Love is real. Perfect, no notes.
In this volume something is DIFFERENT in the air they’ve always shared this relationship that it’s to be described more than friends yet not lovers …. they have a fight in the binging of this vol the sexual tension is getting higher for them to ignore or resist anymore
she wants him she wants something to “Touch” to own.
she takes his lighter and says: haven’t you ever felt that way? Is there nothing you’ve taken an interest in… that you’d like to touch while alone?
Is she even talking about the lighter anymore?
He wants her but he’s afraid? Hesitant … he thinks she’s so fragile and treat her like she’s going to break any second he says THERE IS something he wants to touch not a lighter. so he reaches to hold her~for a second there he was going to but stops and says good night and there it ends.
Will we see some development in the next vol? How much can they resist the urge to touch each other ….
