I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #incomplete(5)

When Kaoru breaks up with them, his girlfriends complain that he doesn't desire them, and college friend, Masoto, always seems to end up with them. Masoto offers to comfort Kaoru after one such break-up "until the one he really likes" comes along. Kaoru's only issue is that Masoto leaves right after they have sex, but he can't seem to say anything about it. Slow-paced and set up for a classic romance with spare drawings beautifully rendered by Takamiya Azuma, this story is scanlated up to the point of heartbreak. We never learn the final outcome.

Left incomplete.

Akusawa Fumi, a host and heir to various nightclubs, is in love with his lover, community security detective Futagami Takaharu, who is reluctant to take the relationship any deeper, in spite of his own infatuation. Takaharu mistrusts Fumi, who shows the same easygoing smile and attention to everyone, and because he deals with corruption, he harbours suspicions toward Fumi's motives. Is this a romance? Or a cat and mouse story about deception? A very good start to an intriguing story, but since it hasn't been updated in years, I assume it will never be finished.

Kashii is an up-and-coming fashion designer surprised to be pursued by popular actor, Mika, who wants to be the exclusive model for Kashii's designs. The unequal stature of their professional relationship troubles Kashii, but Mika insists that he has always been following Kashii and Kashii can't remember under what circumstances he met Mika at all. Like all of Tenzen Mamoko's works, it is bright, engaging and fun. Enjoyable! As it's been years since the last update, however, I assume it has been dropped and will mark it incomplete.

Two art students share a dorm room together. The barely articulate Natsu has a crush on Haru, who works at a gallery, but Haru tells him to forget it unless he wants to fail his courses. This is a sequel to Rougatsu no Hengen-san. Promising, but incomplete, and unlikely to ever be finished.
