This had sm potential

Hmmmm maybe but I think that means, that them getting together and having sex is not the main plot of the story to begin with. Usually when it takes time for MCs to get together and then their first time having sex, it means that the main plot of the story is woven around that thing, but when characters get together quite early in the story that means there's more to plot than them just getting together and having sex. So I think it has a lot more to offer than just romance.

This right here ! Besides, a lot of the black and white manga I used to read wouldn’t have them have sex till like the 6th and ending chapter. I would mostly be in anticipation of when they were going to have it some times than what was actually going on. Sometimes that works good for some yaoi manga and others, it just takes away from the story.
