MiXiM

The current manga of mangaka Nobuyuki Anzai (Flame of Recca, MAR).

Matsui Ichimatsu, Sanguubashi Takezou, and Haruno Koume have really lousy love lives. However, their lives change when an alien by the name of Carmina appears and informs them that they are all from another planet named Polaris and that one of them is the prince of Polaris. She also tells them that their lack of luck in love is a result of a magic spell that makes women avoid them to stop them from assimilating with Earth society; however, there are twelve exceptions, each one bearing a sign of the zodiac.

However, things soon become dangerous for the heroes, for a group called Big Bang Zero is out to kill them. Filled with ruthless beings from all over the cosmos and led by a group capable of blowing up whole planets known as Shadow Matter, Big Bang Zero will stop at nothing to kill the heroes as well as destroy Polaris.

Ended in 2010. Due to the rushed pacing of the ending, its likely it was canceled by it magazine.
