what annoys me the most in those "dating == end the manga" is that the author assumes a relationship is a finished product, something static that you must achieve, instead of a whole process. After they confess and start dating, they need to deal with SO MUCH MORE things than before, their personality clashes and differences, their insecurities and flaws, the creation of a new routine, new friendships, the steps of intimacy... So much to be explored, and many authors just ignore all of that and go straight to "in the final chapter, confession. Afterwards, is afterwards". Or, almost as worse, they go to the "love rival/enemy" trope. It's almost as if those authors never experienced a real relationship before.

@andrescutieri There are a few manga which kick off with the pair getting married, but yeah generally basically all fiction formats don't do the whole process from start to finish. I suppose that partially stems from the fact that these "will they, won't they, who will they" series are oriented around romantic fantasy and wish fulfillment whereas a settled relationship one is perforce much more grounded in reality.

That said I could see this series shift gears in that way as it is focused on vignettes and also a bit more grounded than other examples in the genre.
