“I want to have this every day”
Is such a simple innocuous comment, it’s quite a stretch to think that means I want to marry you. Is it a translation thing? In Japanese is there a double meaning?

It’s just such a common trope and I don’t get it.

It is a bit of a stretch, but I think it's because eating food made by a specific person every day isn't something that really happens unless you're married.

In this case, the fact that Reina was talking about marriage right before he said that probably contributed to that thought process.

Yes, that's exactly right - in Japanese culture it's a pretty classic way to propose to someone. Hence her reaction.

To elaborate, the reasoning goes:
"I want to eat this every day" -> clearly it's about her cooking, therefore it actually means "I want to eat your cooking every day" -> clearly the only way to eat someone's cooking every day is to marry them, therefore it actually means "I want to marry you"

From my understanding it's usually said about miso (usually had with breakfast) so yes it is a implied marriage proposal. Very much a Japanese trope tho.
