Actually Sharin no Kuni does have a canon ending, as confirmed by the Sharin no Kuni, Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo fandisc. I'm talking about Houzuki's chapter obviously, which serves as both a prequel (through a flashback) and a mini-sequel for Himawari no Shoujo.
Spoiler for Houzuki's chapter:
Before Houzuki decides to finally ditch the whole SHCP business and goes on his arguably suicide mission to save Miina (Though I can think of a guy who would argue he succeeds
) he calls Kenichi and asks how his old pupil is doing. Obviously startling Ken-chan in the process, who probably didn't want to be reminded of his old teacher. During the conversation Kenichi confirms he and Natsumi are doing just fine and are planning to get married.
So ... yeah. The canon ending is Natsumi. Which isn't really much of a surprise, the original story was clearly written with her as the destination anyway, the other possibilities thrown in there as quick afterthoughts in order to appease the marketing needs of varied ero content with other heroines
An actually confirmed canon ending is pretty rare though indeed, and while most of the time it isn't hard to tell who is considered the main heroine, the actual story rarely makes such distinctions, be it through structure or events. On the top of my head, I can think of five titles which were written with a specific "true end" in mind ...which ain't a lot. (Those being Sharin no Kuni, G-Senjou no Maou, Fortune Arterial, Aiyoku no Eustia, Rewrite). Well, there is stuff like Ever 17, but that's a slightly different issue.
