From ... (not me) with Love
I'm reviewing From Eroica With Love, an epic 34-volume-still-ongoing-Shonen-Ai-manga-since-1976
Title: Eroica Yori Ai Wo Komete
Mangaka: Yasuko Aoike
Have you read Yukan Club? If you like it, then you'll love this.. unless you have gay phobia..
An never-ending-adventure is good for a change :D
Set in the Cold War era, Earl Dorian Red Gloria is a young handsome aristocrat, but in the underground world he is known as Eroica, the famous art thief. Eroica always get everything he wanted, only left a card with 'From Eroica with love' as his signature. His luck began to change when he encounter Major Klaus Heinz von dem Eberbach a.k.a. Iron Klaus, a NATO officer whose love for machine and his nation equal to Eroica's love for art. Follow their adventure chasing (or -in some case- helping) each other in the love-hate-hate-hate-hate relationship, around Europe, across the Pacific Ocean, through the dessert, sea, or sky, while evading the KGB, or facing another dangerous opponent such as Neo-Nazi terrorist...
The first story focused on three teenagers, one of them is Cesar Gabriel, a timid but beautiful and genius young man which the Earl fall for. Fear not, my comrade, this typical uke-styled character (sorry, Gabriel) only appear in the first and (only a small appearance in) the second volume. Start from the 4th story, the Earl's attention is dominated by art items and the Major as his eye-candy/friend/foe.
It has the beautiful old style drawing, action, comedy, and a lot of stupidity -the one that happened because of bad luck, or due to some stupid underlings :D
