* Daisuke Moriyama's ''[[World Embryo]]'', repeats ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'''s structure. Amane x Riku was interrupted by Amane's death. So now we have Rena x Riku (lampshaded massively due to them being "Mom" and "Dad" to Nene, potential kiss interrupted by [[Moment Killer|Nene]]), [[Squick|Riku x Nene]], Yui x Riku (averted), {{spoiler|Yui x Takao (averted by death)}}, Hayato x Suzu (come on, she helps him with going to the toilet and bathing...), Kota x Mizaki, etc.

* Kirihara from ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' had a few potential love interests that never went anywhere. Most of the tension is with the protagonist Hei (despite the fact that she's trying to catch him), who she seems to have developed a crush on in his [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] [[Nice Guy]] persona, while he mostly doesn't seem to notice. Another is her second-in-command, a man too shy to admit it who later professes his love for her-- unfortunately for him, [[Reset Button|both of them lost their memory of the incident afterward]] and it was one-sided. Her interactions with Jack Simon/November 11 could potentially be seen this way as well.

** {{spoiler|Turns out she's still after Hei two years later, and is in fact approaching [[Stalker with a Crush]] and [[Single-Target Sexuality]] territory.}} Also, her crush on Hei may not have been completely one-sided; she's one of a grand total of two people he [[The Stoic|actually mentioned any of his feelings or opinions to]].

* There's so much tension between [[Mind Game Ship|Battler and Beato]] in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' that it's not even funny. {{spoiler|It's confirmed canon in the fifth and sixth arcs.}}
