Normally, it's easy to recognize when a romance arc ends with a [[Relationship Upgrade]] or an outright [[Happily Ever After]]. The tale may end with [[True Love's Kiss]], romantic [[Holding Hands]], an embrace, a mutual [[Love Confession]] or proposal, or even a wedding. [[Babies Ever After]] may ensue, particularly in the credits.
Line 17 ⟶ 18:
If your example involves secondary characters whose relationship involves little or no romance arc to speak of, it might be a case of [[Hooked Up Afterwards]]. See also [[Belated Happy Ending]], where a sequel clears up the ambiguity of a '''Maybe Ever After''', as well as [[Downtime Downgrade]], where the resolution gets unraveled in between the first work and the sequel. Contrast with [[Did Not Get the Girl]], which may lead to a [[Bittersweet Ending]].

== Anime &and Manga ==
* The anime of ''[[Kaze no Stigma]]'' ends with Ayano using her "bond" with Kazuma to bring him back to himself. However, despite the fact that she's been forced to acknowledge her feelings for him, there's no real resolution to the romance arc: just a hint that there's potential for their relationship.
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'' ends with this.
