And we have lift-off!
26. März 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
This is it - the point where Dorian and Klaus took control of proceedings, and their creator (plus thousands of readers) settled back for the ride. In vol.2 of "Eroica", the three annoying and pointless super-powered teenagers who cluttered up the first stories have disappeared for good, and the narrative becomes James-Bond-played-as-1930s-romantic-comedy. For all Dorian's flowing locks, "Eroica" isn't a swooning boys'-love tale. The aesthetic Earl and his Nato nemesis work out their feelings for each other through action, even if that action is unserious, high-powered mayhem involving tanks and dirigibles chasing each other over the map of Cold War Europe. There's often a witty twist to the tale, too: witness the episode in which Dorian's dirigible and Klaus' helicopter fly off in different directions, each with its master happily complacent... and each completely wrong. Partly owing to its (now outdated) extravagantly shoujo artwork, "Eroica" may never be a title with mass appeal, but it's one that older readers looking for witty fun shouldn't miss.
As a bonus, this volume gives us "I.V.Y. Navy", an extravaganza which reads as if Aoike had Susan Sontag on camp by heart (which I'm morally certain she hasn't). A *very* serious young German student - shades of Karl - joins an aircraft carrier of the tiny but oil-rich nation of IVY. Here, chaperoned by a tall and handsome local, he discovers that the captain and first mate (bearded seadogs) go by the names of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, and that IVY's methods of stopping a war between two Third World nations - backed by the USA and USSR - involve bribery and blackmail. Our hero is shocked to the core... until he realises that all this degeneracy actually *works*. It must be said, this one's odd even for Aoike, but there's an interesting point among all the frivolity.

A Wonderful Comic Book Series
5. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
As much as I whole-heartedly enjoyed the giddy nonsense of the first volume, it is in the second and third volumes that the reader really begins to get a taste of what this series is truly about. The characters become more solid, the drippy teenagers from the first volume are utterly forgotten and never return, and the focus of the stories shifts considerably into the theme that it will more-or-less take from now on. That being the lives and adventures of BOTH Dorian (or the master thief "Eroica") and the NATO Intelligence officer Major Eberbach, and their respective teams, and how their stories end up crossing and tangling in amusing, exciting ways.
"From Eroica with Love" is fantastic series that blends humour and parody and action and espionage into a wonderfully entertaining blend. Set in Europe during the Cold War, it chronicles the misadventures of the lovely gay English thief Dorian Red Gloria and his unrequited love for the German NATO officer, Major Klaus Heinz von dem Eberbach.
If you ever need to just sit back, forget your life for a while, and laugh, "Eroica" is definitely the series to read. The stories and plots also become more fleshed out and realized as the series progresses, so those who didn't care for the complete nonsense of the first volume should still give 2 and 3 in order to get a better impression of the overall series. And those who enjoyed the hilarity of volume 1--fear not, the wacky humour is still there!
We can only hope CMX Manga continues to translate this series...there are over 30 volumes, and it is still running in Japan. Also, as a note to fans of other Japanese manga: From Eroica with Love is somewhat different from the other manga that has been translated so far, and not just in terms of the art (trust me it grows on you)and the setting (personally, I LOVE the European settings) but in terms of story and dialogue as well. For one thing, it takes longer to read, and is more verbose. Personally, I appreciate that it takes me longer to read, I feel like I've gotten my money's worth for each volume.
I strongly recommend this series to manga and fans and non-manga fans alike. It is a delightful comic book series.

fun, romance and action all in one book
2. Mai 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
The second volume of the long-running manga series sees it settle down into the general series theme, with flamboyant art thief Eroica and uptight NATO intelligence agent Iron Klaus finding their paths repeatedly crossing, sometimes as opponents, sometimes having to work together. Set in the Cold War Europe of the 1970s, it shows a pair of characters who are on opposite sides of the law and very different in personality, but with some surprising things in common. Alas, one of those things is not sexual orientation, and Eroica's romantic interest in Klaus is destined to remain unrequited, providing the source of much fun during the series.
And there's plenty of fun to be had. The stories are completely over the top, in the same way that the Bond films are over the top -- camp, very funny, and with plenty of action. In this one, Eroica and Klaus have a shared interest in a Greek shipping tycoon. Eroica wants to steal an art treasure, and Klaus wants to stop a KGB agent's honeytrap operation. This leads on to a second adventure in which Klaus is trying to protect world leaders at a meeting which just happens to be just down the road from Eroica's castle -- and for perfectly rational reasons, Klaus ends up ordering Eroica to strip and hand over his underpants... But when they're forced by circumstances to work together, they make a very good team.
Flawed but likeable people, they're enormously entertaining to watch, as are the secondary characters. Both men have a team of minions, not all of whom are quite what their masters would wish for. This volume introduces Agent G, Klaus' gay cross-dressing agent who has a crush on Eroica.
There's also an independent story to fill out the page count, about a strait-laced young German man sent on a cultural exchange visit to a tiny island nation with a very strange navy. There's not much plot, and there's an awful lot of froth, but it's a quick fun read with a serious point underneath the fluff.
You can pick up the story with this book, but it's worth reading the first volume of the series to get the background: From Eroica with Love - Volume 1 (From Eroica With Love (Graphic Novels))
