Good ending to very nice story

I'd like to offer an oposing view to critical reviews for this manga and its ending. This is a nice short story but containing some difficult emotional topics.

Not every story needs to be 50 volumes long, not every story needs to be realistic and brutal. レンタルお兄ちゃん is short and sweet, the characters are interesting and likable. The ending is probably a bit predictable but for this type of story it's a good thing. It will make you feel sympathetic for its characters and will leave you satisfied

Spoiler review:

I feel that the ending was rushed and a bit too tidy. It's definitely one of those stories where the moral is 'if you're nice and never give up, you can change people!!!!' which is a nice idea but isn't really true in reality. Abusers are not going to have a sudden change of heart and want to be a good person again, so the change of heart from real oniichan didn't ring true to me. I didn't like that he was magically nice again and so Kanami could forgive him and just go
