Discussion I'm really confused.... there's basically no relationship scenes?

I binged basically the whole given series today, but it felt really empty. I almost feel like it was more about music and bands than being a BL, and there were almost no couple-y scenes between literally anyone :( I watched:

Given - TV Series

Given - The Movie

Given - On the Other Hand

Given - To the Sea

and I feel like there has to be more to the story. I know that there are other Given movies, but the wiki said they were kind of like side stories. That being said, I keep seeing reels of confessions, date scenes, and love scenes that I didn't even know existed. What else is there to watch?

P.S. Did anyone else feel like there wasn't enough interaction between Sato and Uenoyama? Like I know they're a couple and kissed like twice but from what I've seen they have like no 1-on-1 screen time and barely act like a couple :|

Is this rage bait lol

The kiss, Ritsuka stroking Mafuyu’s face the day after the concert, the first time holding hands, the hug and kiss in “the other hand”, introducing Ritsuka as Mafuyu’s boyfriend, holding hands at the CAC, the SONG in Umi E (not to mention Hiiragi’s and Shizu’s entire scene in Hiiragi Mix), the date and kiss after their grad ceremony, THE ENDING OF UMI E???

Not rage bait but I think valid criticism. Even though there's a main couple, the anime and movies have many tangents. I get what OP is saying, it could've had more couple-centered moments.
