And chances of Kiss and White Lily getting an anime adaptation is pretty much lower, huh.

I don't think it was going to ever get an anime in the first place. In my opinion it wouldn't work very well with an anime episode format, mainly because of how the story structure is, it works best with manga chapters. You'd get either an entire episode dedicated to one of the many various couples in the series, or half an episode and the other half focusing on another couple. Then sometimes getting the same thing with the main couple. Which would be confusing and frustrating for the audience. The manga already got some mixed reactions because of this. Personally I think as a whole the series wrapped up nicely, but the journey definitely wasn't the smoothiest one.

I think it would work better than most yuri mangas that were adapted, personally. Since these never have an end because the manga was ongoing while they adapted it. At least we would have some stories with closure.

You just described most anime.I feel like you're saying this story would be good to adapt because it ended. That doesn't say anything really for how well the manga as a whole adapts into the anime medium, which I understand you like closure but this series I think doesn't work well in the format of an anime, at least weekly episodes on tv. It's cool if we disagree though. As far as completed works it'd be nice if we got a new complete anime adaptation of "Sweet Blue Flowers", "Girlfriends" or other Milk Morinagaa works, I genuinely hope we get another season of "Bloom Into You" once the manga finishes.

I think again this goes for a boat load of anime in general however. Lots of ongoing series getting adapted is a staple of the industry. It's best to just enjoy the material that's adapted if it's done well, not stress over the rest even if a complete adaptation would be nice.
