Still i feel quite uncomfortable as those two series also have no visible ending (Can someone explain to me when and where "the treasure" in One Piece is? Nobody, right?), even "Bleach" manga was forced to make abrupt ending with its quite forced last arc (Why it didn't just end already when Aizen was defeated and Soul Society clearly won?).

Kochikame doesn't belong in this mix at all, it's not that kind of comic.
It is not a story driven comic, it's a slice-of-today-story comic.
It's like Simpsons. Or Newspaper comics that deals with a single theme of the day.
There's no "dragging out stories", it's simply a comedy strip about "theme of the day".
And it uses current events and topics as its theme, and pokes fun at it.
New law passed in Japan to prevent bicycles on pedestrian walkways? Ok, let's have a story about modern bicycles!
Just like say... South Park or aforementioned Simpsons.
