Veil T01: Température orange

A police officer in the city takes in a runaway heiress with nowhere else to go, hiring her as the station's telephone operator. What follows isn't so much a plot as a series of quiet, intimate vignettes about the careful distance between two people slowly learning to close it.

Told less through dialogue than through silences, glances, and fully painted, dreamlike art, the opening volume of Kotteri's Veil is more mood than story — a slow, atmospheric illustrated romance built from small, disconnected-yet-interconnected moments.
