⟢ feels like a gallery of paintings where each artwork tells a different Veil Volume 2: Calming Noir ⤷ ⭑⭑⭑⭑
❝ A Constellation Waiting to be Named. ❞ ⋆˚࿔
⟢ feels like a gallery of paintings where each artwork tells a different part of a larger story. while they stand alone beautifully, together they create a rich tapestry of emotions and connections that invites us readers to speculate on the deeper relationships between him and her.
again, amazing artwork. every scene took my breath away and i love the tidbit drawings we get in between scenes.
by the second volume, i just accepted that the story consists of a series of vignettes focusing on Emma and Alexander's daily life and relationship situationship. i still stand by my initial point from the first volume that we should illustrate and prioritize the scenes depicted in the monologues in addition to the random scenes we are already getting, as the monologues essentially contain the main storyline. at this point, we can only speculate about the moments in between as we follow their evolving relationship.
here are some cute moments that deserve special mention:
⟢ Emma took photos of the sounds she heard because she found them astonishing. it took me a moment to fully grasp this, as i never imagined someone with this disability could perceive things that way, which was very insensitive of me. it was truly an eye-opener.
⟢ Alexander noticed the moles on Emma's thighs, which she drew constellations and signed them with his name.
⟢ Scene 23: "Touch in a Dream”— The way she describes how she experiences dreams and the sensations she feels is simply beautiful.
this honestly feels like peeling back the layers of an onion. wherein each layer reveals a new flavor and depth, making the experience richer and more enjoyable as you dive deeper into the story. we just have to accept that this is the beauty and unique charm of Veil.
thank you Udon Entertainment and Net Galley, for providing me an arc of the English-translated copy of the second volume of this beautiful graphic novel!♡
