Mental wounds don't always drive people to suicide, dude. Where did you get that concept. But it's safe to say she wasn't cured by a kiss. (Which... Seriously.)
Rakan's death is nothing like Moka's. They weren't killed, their souls weren't extinguished. If memory serves they were all essentially magical apparitions that could be created at whim. Omote is not like that at all. She was a entity that had finite existence. She's dead.
For the rest of your stories presented in Negima, allow me to remind you two things.
A. They are not in the same reality. The way people act in that series is equivalent to 12 year olds. You'd think Evangeline, 100 year old monstrosity, would take her anger out on the world. She's subdued by a 12 year old teacher. Fate and his merry band completely change directions due to one fight. Chao doesn't take stuff seriously even though her past would make her much more frantic in trying to alter space time. Asuna just completely gets over the fact that she's a freaking PRINCESS FROM MARS even though her entire conscious life was that of any normal teenager. If I found out I was the bishop of Saturn, I'd take a good 2 years letting that sink in.
Basically, It's childish as balls. The characters act like children and there is barely any shred of seriousness in the series. (Still liked it tho. Kuu Fei rocks socks)
And B:
Show me a scene where a 11 year old girl is quartered and raised on stakes. I'll wait.
But until then, don't try to present these two series as the same thing. They aren't. People in Rosario vampire mature. Events accelerate. The world gets meaner and crueler.
It's more realistic.
And that is why Omote is most likely dead. Along with Gin. Haiji has wings so he probably survived. Gin idk.

Spoiler for rant:
Oh for.... She threw herself out of a window because she was forcibly kissed. That generally equates to suicide. And she wasn't cured by the kiss, but she was able to stop trying to kill herself because of what Kurumu did. Which, incidentally, is approximately the point where Kurumu became my favorite character in this manga.
Eva was subdued by a curse from the most powerful wizard in the world, and spent ten years in a school that is kept safe from outside dangers by some of the comrades of said powerful wizard. And she did take her anger out on the world. Before she got caught she was the most dangerous criminal in the world.
As for the deaths, Omote is an illusion created by her mother to protect Ura. Rakan was an independent existence that lived entirely of his own will. They weren't illusions, but they were part of the magical dimension that the Life-Mage created. They have no way to survive outside of it.
Fate was only on the path he chose because there was no other way to save everyone. Negi offered him another way, and he took it.
Chao wasn't frantic because she was a goddamn soldier. She was raised in the middle of an interplanetary war. She kept her cool because not doing so would have made things worse.
Asuna isn't told she's a princess, she has her memory forcibly unlocked and spends several weeks in a coma because of it.
As for part B, you remember Shirabe? Fate's tree-user minion? When they find her she's a child younger than Negi being hunted down so they can saw the horns off her head and sell them. She's the only survivor of an entire village.
Also, the current arc of Rosa Vamp started because Ura stayed out a whole day to cook Tsukune lunch. Then the seal went wack and shit started to progressively go down, but still. This started over a lunch box.
Now to be sure, Rosa Vamp is certainly grimmer than Negima. However, I wouldn't really say it's more realistic. The reason for the relative lack of grimness in Negima is because after the big war with the Evil Organization (tm), the superpowers that had been manipulated into war spent the next fifteen years annihilating all traces of the Evil Organization. Instead of leaving it locked up under a house.
I will acknowledge that Rosa Vamp uses far more intense imagery to convey how terrible the event taking place, but if you step back and take a look at the two series objectively, the scales are on completely different levels. Alucard is the Cthulu of RV, and he's hardly threatening compared to the inevitable death of an entire world.
I have on thought on how they could potentially win this fight. It's been repeatedly foreshadowed that Tsukune's powers are compatible with Alucard. It's possible he'll somehow absorb Alucard. And if I'm wrong and the author really is in a character-killing mood, prepare for Heroic Sacrifice! Cause, you know, together in death and all that.
