    i think in this manga the younger sibs probably have a kind of admiration to their brother, maybe kind of like how children say they want to marry their parents in the future?

    I really hope so, I don't find it as weird when it's like that, but it sure doesn't come off that way in this manga :/

    yeaaa the twins also have a weird vibe so it's not really surprising if that's the case

    I think the other reply already explained it but if you check the raw, probably they only refer it as liking or admiring someone, cause the word "tsuki" can actually mean liking as in admiration, friendly, familial way not only romantically...

    Like when you said something like "I really really really love you mom/dad" or something similar to that ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ cause in some countries they probably love to brag about their siblings' achievement or looks, in korea and japan i think there's even a specific word for that kind of "bragging" like you're showing off how cool your siblings are but you're too shy to admit that they're cool to they themselves.. sometimes it's also for their ego booster too LOL "look how cool my siblings are ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶"

    I'm guessing the little brother said suki which doesn't mean "in love" and can be used for anyone or anything.

    It should have been 'really like', not 'love'… context is everything :(
