I dunno. Feels like it happens there more than it does with other media for me. I know there are plenty of things out there with bad endings, so maybe I've just been lucky with other media. Or who knows, maybe School Rumble's ending was so much of a mess that I just project it onto everything else in the genre now. Man, I still can't believe that ending. Maybe part of it is just my desire to want to see a more concrete resolution. Sometimes they end with the implication that this is a "happily ever after" situation, but it ends at such a weird point that it leaves you with a, "...Wait, that's it? Shouldn't there be more?" feeling.

"My Wife is Wagatsuma-san" actually shattered the status quo for the last third and went in a completely different direction. I guess I wouldn't have minded it so much if they had handled it better, but like I said, the three best girls largely disappear from the narrative at that point. I guess to put it in Toradora terms, it would be like if they didn't time skip Ryuji's senior year to the end where he reunites with Taiga, and there was a large final arc with no Taiga, and Minori and Ami were barely around either. It wouldn't be as good if the story had to just be carried by Ryuji (no matter how good of a character he is), Kitamura, and some other random classmates.
