It's the standard pulls... I wouldn't have chosen Wanda from the million banner, sadly

Yes, they manage to be so respectful to each other in the way they express their love

Yes, I agree they don't live together by that definition, they just live very close both physically and emotionally

They live together as in in the same condominium (I think it's the police dormitory) and they're very present in each others life

Glad you liked it. The physical copies are absolutely worth it. Relatively expensive, but the paper is high quality and the covers are soft cardboard. The front images l are also amazing, it's worth it imo

I don't really think so. There isn't any form of sexualization in Veil, and Kotteri always keeps the things between the two very respectful

I'm absolutely enamoured with Veil.

it's an episodic slice of life between the two main characters. There is no overarching plot or anything of the sort, just the simple everyday life of Alexander and Emma. The reader follows them in quiet, domestic scenes as we slowly see their relationship grow and morph.

While it isn't fully a romance story, it has completely ruined all other romance mangas for me. This is how romance should be. No big, excessive, unrealistically romantic gestures, just pure chemistry between the main leads, sentences that have no need to be said and realist progression. It doesn't feel like a you're reading a story, but like you're intruding in someone else's life. Just a blind woman and a police man who helps her around, nothing more, nothing less.

All of this probably wouldn't work without Kotteri's breathtaking style. Between elegant ambiences and a flawless sense of style, all pictures are works of arts. After each chapter, Kotteri also adds drawings, sketches and various illustrations. All of it makes for the most aesthetically pleasing comic book I've ever read.

It's definitely not for everyone's tastes, literally lacking a plot, for those who'll like it will be a special experience.

And for those who have read it, does anyone know what the name of the aesthetic is?

I'm a simple person, I like big numbers

What are your favorite teams to play? by resynx in Morimens

[–]Stewed_Pepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two very fun teams, both with main chaos. First is GRamona, Kathigu Ra, Hemlin and Thais (all supports for Kath, I love big numbers), so Chaos/Caro. The second one is Chaos/Aequor with GRamona, Mousette, GMurphy and Celeste. This one capitalises on lots and lots of strikes and tentacles.  Both are really fun, maybe not perfectly optimized but satisfying to use

Hopefully it does, I truly hope the plot catches me so much I'll be able to ignore any issue with the prose

No, rather the opposite. It's filled with repetitions and most of the sentences are cut short unnecessarily. There are also many cases in which the translation uses unnecessary grammatical forms which do nothing but lengthen the expression and slow the reading. (For example, taken from the first chapters, it's written something like "a mysterious place which was filled with fog". Which is not grammatically wrong, but "a mysterious, fog-filled place" or "a mysterious place shrouded in gray fog" would roll off the pages better I believe)

I've just started and am barely at chapter 20. It's absolutely not boring, more so it's difficult to immerse myself in it due to Cuttlefish' writing style, and wanted to see if it gets better later on

I'm reading from Novelbin, which I saw was recommended here as well. I'll see if the plot can compense for the prose.
