The genre is filled with couples who can't express their true feelings for each other, and many series save the first kiss as the final obstacle that both parties must overcome.

As for vampire romance, this isn't the first time an anime has featured vampires kissing humans because of blood on their lips. In the first episode of the adult series Devils' Line, the vampire Yuuki Anzai kisses the human Tsukasa Taira for that reason. However, the anime doesn't use this situation as a means to separate them or negate the passionate moment, especially since they only met a short while before.
Therefore, the kiss acts as a catalyst for their relationship. This is almost the exact opposite of what the Vampire Dormitory is trying to achieve right now. Instead of breaking the romantic anime cliché with a double kiss in the first episode as was the case with Devils' Line, Vampire dormitory is using this very exclusive situation to embellish a fun but extremely uncomfortable joke aimed at minimizing the ever-elusive kiss.
