a clear resolution on the romance front (it never really even engaged the issue openly) , so I certainly wouldn't count it among anything. While Kyouhei was a decent male lead, it's pretty safe to say that Mashifoni is a lot better show than FA was, both in terms of overall writing, production values and in how it has handled the romance at hand. FA was a pretty mediocre show on its own, and a torture to watch from the point of someone who had read the VN (and appreciated it greatly) previously.
In comparison Mashifoni is a pure joy to follow, has reasonably good production values, and actually does justice to the source material.

Comparison to Fortune Arterial
:
See, I have no idea how the romance wasn't resolved, at least when I watched it. The ending wasn't the most conclusive or sensical but I don't remember having doubts about who liked who. I'm not even trying to compare the shows on merit, I simply did not find that show any less clear than this one in terms of who picked who. But maybe I missed something in Arterial that made it vague?
