Hi! As the title says, i'm looking for anime and/or manga that contains romance with happy endings. Here are the specific conditions I am looking for (recs must meet them all if possible):
- straight
- non harem
- no major love triangles (minor ones or ones that don't have a big impact on the story are ok)
- Happy ending, meaning the girl and guy are TOGETHER at the end
- ending is NOT ambiguous or open ended. strong and happy closure is what i'm going for.

* Any genre is fine
* ecchi and hentai are fine (but if it's hentai I'll only watch or read it if there's a solid plot)
* the relationship between the main guy and main girl do not have to be the sole focus of the series, as long as it's there and you can feel the lurve :3

My finished watching/reading list:
Nozoki ana
Chobits
DearS
Myself; yourself
True tears
Kobato
Itazura na Kiss

CHEERS! :D

Inuyasha+Inuyasha the Final Act

The Legend of Condor Hero

Zero no Tsukaima

Elemental Gelade(the ending for this is pretty damn crappy, but the romance aspect of the ending is downright great, plus ends on a happy note)

Hm, due to all the damn anime out there with either no ending at all or a open ended ending with no close to things sigh, I think these are all the ones I have for you.

I just got finished watching some romantic anime, and I agree with you, I hate ones with sad endings, Here is a list of some of the ones with happy endings that I have watched:
Ouran Highschool Host Club (My Favorite, it is very funny)
Special A (The ending was great)
Maid Sama ( I haven't finished the series yet, but so far it's pretty good)

Hope these help!! :)

There's no real ending for Kachou wa maid sama sigh, It's almost as open ended as you can get(much like the Kekkaishi ending, don't know if you saw that, but yea)

lots of people saying maid sama is good. is it completed? if so, is the ending at least somewhat happy? or is it open ended as hell?

I just finished the Manga Nozoki Ana.
It's borderline Hentai, so you'll get to see sex-scenes. If that's okay for you, then I can thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend this to you. It's hands down the best romance in Anime/Manga I've ever experienced and unlike many others it has a satisfying ending.
There's also an OVA depicting rhoughly the first 20 chapters, but I don't feel like it does the Manga any justice. I'm just mentioning it because that's how I found out about the Manga.

I'm not into Manga normally, I'm not even into romance/echii, but I finished this whole damn thing of 117 chapters in two sittings and felt like I lost a good friend when it ended. So go for it, you won't regret it ;)

Go watch Maid sama. if you're male, you'll love the male MC. He's awesome in every way even though he's a Gary Stu.

A couple of romance anime have that problem of being open ended are usually finished in the manga.

Maid-sama is a good example.
The anime is cut short, maybe as an option for another season, but the manga is completed, and it has a good ending.

Kare Kano and Fruits Basket also have that problem, the manga is finished and complete and with a good end, whereas the anime just stops.
