I never watched the anime, just read the manga in middle school, and I couldn't believe they didn't get together in the end. Not to mention that fandom seems nearly dead, so I can't find anything about them.

But, did that Tisha girl from the manga show up in the anime? Because it seemed like they pulled her out of their ass (I mean Orphen didn't think of her in ANY of his flashback scenes? Ever) as a way of countering the Orphen/Cleao that was rapidly taking over.
