Surprising & unexpected

I looked forward to this movie ever since the trailer came out. It has such an interesting plot line which is sweet and light. I would say that it was a bit predictable but some of my predictions were wrong which made the movie more engaging.
I could understand some people’s hesitancy to watch a step-sibling love story but the ones I’ve seen are heartwarming and comedic.
*spoiler but I have questions about a particular scene: flashback- Minato comes home to see a girl leave her brother’s room which prompts her to check on him. This reveals that Toru’s clothes are on the floor while he is sitting on his bed under his blanket. This indicates a possible love scene. But, I wanted some clarification about this scene since we learn that Toru has loved Minato ever since they first met as kids and so I wonder if he went through with it or not to distance himself from Minato. (Let me know if they explain in the manga!)
I give this movie a 8.5/10 because I would’ve like to see more authentic, romantic scenes between Toru and Minato (not only Mina). The FL acting was on point and provided a naive and comedic character. The ML acting was sufficient where he conveyed a lot of emotions.
