Well, isn't exactly what they did. From the very first scenes I thought Menma was just a very annoying little sister to Jintan and he was just ignoring her.
The twist occurs when she sits on him in front of dad, and he doesn't notice at all, but prior to this, there were two strong hints: 1) the father entering and only greeting Jintan (as if there was only one person there) 2) more a fact than a hint, when Jintan is preparing ramen, we see the reflection on the cupboard's mirror.. and there's no Menma.
After these scenes I realized Menma existed just in Jintan's eyes, while before I thought she existed, period. So that was a surprise, at least as far as I am concerned.
