I've always felt that the view that the whole story was just about "sibling relationship dynamics" with no romantic implications was, at best, an incomplete interpretation of what was really being shown. To me, it's sort of like "where there's smoke, there's fire"; people kept trying to view the story as one thing, but the evidence kept adding up the other way as it went along. So I have a little bit of a hard time buying the "the premise changed" or "it wasn't planned" argument. Of course, no LN author necessarily knows how many volumes their story will last, but I do think there's a pretty linear progression between where things started and where things ended up.

You got an interesting opinion here. As far as I knew, there is almost no hint of romance between Kyou and anyone from volume 1 to volume 4 (aside from the time he bought a present for Kirino). So how did you come to that conclusion that far ahead?
