I beg to differ. Although difficult at times, guys and gals can be friends who can talk to one another. Yes, usually there is either one side or the other that likes him/her, but there is potential for true friendship. However, yes, for a majority of it, there is an interest instead of definitive friendship only desires.

I'm not too sure about this argument. Yes, there maybe some idolization that Arata has brought that wonderful thing known as Karuta to Chihaya, but there is more than that now. There is definitely friendship. However, the question is if there is something more? Well, this episode showed that yes, there is something more. When the girls ask Chihaya who she really just wants to talk, see, and wondering what he is doing, Chihaya thinks about and ends up calling Arata shortly right after that. If that is not a huge, in your face, slap it across the wall hint, then I'm not sure what is anymore. You don't think about and wish to talk to your "god" out of the blue to ask how he is doing. You can idolize your god, but at that moment, that was not idolization. It was a desire to talk to him, actual real feelings of longing for someone.
"I wonder what he is doing. I want to see him."
You really can't get much more straightforward than that.
