Sorry to butt in, but I just want to say that I'm in total agreement with you guys and I had no idea there was such a strong anti-Ritsu sentiment in the fandom. It makes me kind of sad, honestly, because I love Ritsu. :/
What I like about that chapter as an ending is, it provides enough closure that it's not frustrating to end there, but it's open enough that if they ever wanted to come back and do a second season of the anime, they could. (Obviously it's open, because the manga keeps going, but...whatever.)
They used a detail from that chapter in the episode 0 anime (maybe not noticeable if you haven't read it, but it's there), so it seems to me like there's been enough time for the whole chapter to be animated.
