Stuff like this always puts me off a bit in how weird it is to me that they're totally cool with making out but they can't seem to stop dancing around the topic of relationships. It almost feels bait-y, in the weirdest way, like all this contact is okay but they can't just talk about it overtly.
That's why I prefer the side couple, they're open about it and they're not embarrassed to say it... Just like in Sakura trick Although Sakura trick's case is because the main is very ...Innocent?
(replying to both comments here)
Storywise, it's because once the main couple actually get together, it often marks the end of the story, so yeah, side couples are always more upfront and get more actual progress.
And they're not all that cool about making out too. Well, Haruko totally is, but Natsuko often mention how they shouldn't kiss all the time, but looses out to the swapping usefulness.
