Except for the weird short Legged cat I can easily assume this may very well be the way it would work out in real life. Though episode 3 was skipped, in episode 4, the all Girls class rep said something that in Japan they take quit seriously. She has Shingo call her by 1st name.
Many people may not realize it but the 1st name is almost a sacred thing to the Japanese,
it's only used among family, and very close friends. Yet pace of the story doesn't overdo the familiarity, it in fact emphasizes how quickly and how close they've become with excellent subtlety.
