Excellent point, I also was thinking of this while watching this episode. How much all of this guys and girls loved - and still love - Menma. The girls too because we can see how Anaru is still attached to her ("I love you, yet I hate you" , and how she uses to talk to her through an old pic) and Tsuruko as well, the drawing(s), the hairpin, the memories.
All seen and said of Jintan and Yukiatsu, it can be safely assumed that Poppo was in love with her too, all that's left to see if it was love for a friend or the other kind of love.
Jintan may have been their "king", but Menma was their white princess, their shining star. A star whose extinguishment left the vassals without its light, bringing incurable wounds on each one of them.
