Stage play
A stage play adaptation was performed in the Template:Ill in Tokyo from May 11–14, 2023. It was directed by Akiko Kodama, with Oropa Irie writing the scripts, Mako Kuwabara composing the music, and Umebou in charge of choreography. It starred Yuki Nakayama and Mitsu Murata in the lead roles.[1] A second performance run was held in the Template:Ill in Tokyo from July 26–29, 2024.[11]
Reception
In the mid-1980s, fan translations of From Eroica with Love began to circulate through the slash fiction community,[12] creating a "tenuous link" between slash and Template:Transliteration.[13] From Eroica with Love is more popular with slash fans than it has been with Template:Transliteration artists.[12] The series has been described as an example of a movement in Template:Transliteration and yaoi to depict more masculine men, as part of the audience's increasing comfort with objectifying males.[14]
Johanna Carlson of Comics Worth Reading liked the artwork, but found the story to be uninteresting. She described it as a "Template:Transliteration starter book".[15] Jason Thompson described the story as Fake and Yellow but with added spy action.[16]
