It's really not a happy ending at all though. Nothing really gets resolved in Shizuka, Marina and Azuma's families. The point of the story is that they are all victims of their family situations in their own ways, and they all end up abused and twisted. In the final chapter Shizuka snaps and asks Takopi what she should have done when everything went to shit in her life, and all he could do is to hug Shizuka. That probably explains at least part of why you feel like the resolution lacks weight, it's because there really isn't a resolution. All these poor kids can do is cope with their fucked up reality. All he can do is help the three kids with little nods.
He tells Azuma to fight with his brother like he asks Takopi to do, which makes him get closer with his peers, and when both Marina and Azuma see the doodle of Takopi they remember him somewhere deep down and bond over it together without really knowing why. When Takopi monologues in the end after having sacrificed himself to activate the time camera once final time, he once again begs for forgiveness for not being able to fix their broken families, but remarks that at least they are not alone in their suffering anymore, that the most important gadget of them all was talking. And so Shizuka and Marina talk.
Even the lack of Marina's atonement is something that is a little questionable to focus on, seeing as what Shizuka was up to when searching for her dog. It's a story that is very focused on the human condition. How the abused become abusers, and how like you said, (bad) things just happen sometimes. And how sometimes there is no happy ending, but at least there could be some small consolation for those who live difficult lives.
