They're both oddball couples for sure, but I gotta give it to Makoto and Tarma for being the ones that seem to genuinely care about each other. Irear and Kiese got together more on a whim for political reasons.
Plus Kiese was still mentally a toddler, and legal ages exist because society basically agrees that kids need to be around for a certain amount of time to even know what 'love' is, and he doesn't even come close to that. He's liable to dump her for the next season's hottest cartoon/toy campaign.
Oh, but Tarma was revealed to be pretty much a boy too, wasn't he? Or was he just a man-child? Not sure that makes much difference in the emotional maturity argument. Oh whatever, they still seem a better fit than Kirear.
