Espionage and comedy combine in this classic manga series about a flamboyant international art thief who continually locks horns with a straight-shooting NATO agent. It's another Cold War caper, featuring Eroica, the Major, and the return of the Major's old KGB rival, Mischa the Bear Cub. In The Seventh Seal, Iron Klaus must stop an aggressive attempt by the Russians to close the West's lead in computer technology by stealing a top-secret item known only as The Black Box. His mission takes him to Liechtenstein to infiltrate a KGB front company. Into the middle of this operation inevitably waltzes Eroica, crashing a private event in a Liechtenstein castle, in disguise as an enchanting countess.

The story starts out with three personality-deprived teens with, for some reason, psychic powers. One of the three is a gorgeous and brilliant young man. He quickly catches the attention of the flamboyantly gay, aristocratic thief Eroica (aka Dorian Red, Earl of Gloria)He is kidnapped and slightly molested. Enter strong, severe and serious German NATO officer "Iron" Klaus Von Dem Eberbach (Aoike's grasp of Western naming traditions leaves something to be desired...). The boy is saved, Eroica escapes and blessedly the three psychics are never seen again.
Aoike must have realized that she hit gold with Eroica and Iron Klaus. She dropped the original protagonists and I couldn't be happier. The constant bickering and sexual tension between the two men is a pleasure to read. Their over-the-top personalities also never fail to make me chuckle. Add to this exciting and occasionally ridiculous cold war spy missions and heists (that always seem to overlap) and you have the recipe for a series that is still going strong almost 30 years after the first chapter was published.
The out-dated art style and equally outdated fashion might turn some people off at first but it grows on you. I have watched Aoike's art develop and refine itself and I can now perfectly understand how Klaus can make Eroica's heart flutter. ( )
