comment |
From Eroica With Love is, as the title implies, a James Bond spoof. It's one of the longest running manga in Japanese history, running from 1976 to 2012 (though it changed magazines a few times and went on hiatus from 1989 to 1995). It stands out for never having been animated, despite being quite popular (the creator dislikes animation), and for using Comic-Book Time, despite being largely realistic.The series begins in the Cold War Era, with the introduction of the flamboyantly gay art thief (and Robert Plant lookalike) Earl Dorian Red Gloria, also known as Eroica. Together with his hapless assistants (James, Bonham, and several others), he aspires to steal gorgeous art, wear gorgeous clothes and spout gorgeous poetry. Soon, however, he meets his match in the German Major "Iron" Klaus Heinz von dem Eberbach of NATO Intelligence, who swears to catch Eroica with the help of his terrified subordinates.The chemistry between these two characters has kept the series going for over 30 years. Neither Klaus nor Dorian will let go of their target: Klaus, being practically asexual, stubbornly refuses to acknowledge Dorian's obsession with him, and Dorian, who sees Klaus as a "work of beauty" truly worth stealing, refuses to believe that Klaus doesn't want him.Basically, it's Road Runner vs. Coyote set in Europe. And the roadrunner wants to screw the coyote. |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Dorian, as you can read here, is based on Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant. His gang is the rest of the band, with James most obviously being Jimmy Page. |

Honor Among Thieves: Dorian views his crew as more family than anything else. They even have team t-shirts. The collection of rogues who attend his convention are also pretty civil and protective of each other. |

Take Off Your Clothes: Dorian ends up wearing a pair of underpants that has a top-secret microfilm hidden in the trim (he doesn't know about this). Klaus hunts him down and demands he strip and hand over the undies, leading to a "why Klaus, I didn't know you cared" scene before Klaus puts him straight. |

The Hedonist: Dorian comes across as one initially, and Klaus certainly thinks "the fop" meets the requirements, but the thief's a bit too soft-hearted to fully embrace this trope. |

In fact, Dorian's quite happy to share a snog or two with James, or possibly more than that, if he feels like it or if it advances the plot. |

comment |
Flanderization: James the accountant starts off merely fiscally responsible, but quickly becomes such a penny-pinching tightwad that he gets a refurbished butterfly for his cast page. Fandom holds that this actually happens to Dorian himself in post-hiatus stories; he goes from being a capable foil for Klaus to the comic relief that the Major constantly has to bail out of trouble. |

Sympathetic P.O.V.: The plot usues this to keep the reader's relationship to the main characters roughly equal; it alternates between Klaus and Dorian's points of view, preventing Klaus from coming across as a violent maniac and Dorian being viewed as an incompetent nuisance (for example, Klaus may not see the method in Dorian's madness, but the reader will). |

Pet the Dog |
| | From Eroica with Love (Manga) / int_ff7f34c5 |
comment |
Pet the Dog: Usually for Klaus. There's a brief scene that shows him sharing his lunch with a horse that he's commandeered, and on occasion he'll show a certain level of affection/respect for Dorian (usually after insulting him for the best part of four chapters). Mischa, a KGB agent with no qualms about murder, is a doting daddy and loving husband whose main concern when exiled to Siberia is how his family is doing. Klaus is always polite and friendly to nuns. And he dislikes disturbing civilians. |
