When Mana observes Yorito should get Aono some other things for gift instead of thess dolls since Aono doesn't like them, Yorito wonders if that's the truth. I found that brief scene touching because it once again demonstrated the bond between these two siblings. Yorito and Aono know about each other more than anyone else. Mana can't see the joy those dorky dolls bring to Aono even though, seemingly enough, Aono acts indifferent toward Yorito's gift. Yorito, of course, knows better.

Wow, nice observation, had to rewatch the episode to see that. It seems, to me, that Mana does not know a lot about the relationship between Yorito and Aono. She sees as if Aono doesn't like those stuffed dolls. Yorito thinks otherwise.

See, if Yorito saw that Aono didn't like those stuffed dolls, why would he continue buying them in the first place? I think Mana is a bit oblivious to that brother-sister dynamic that Aono and Yorito have. Their relationship is subtle and deep, but not quite obvious.
