Holy Crap, look at the claws out, lol. One of the most important things to consider here, in regards to romance, is that these two kids are in middle school; they're both really young, and their ideas of romantic inclinations are pretty limited in scope. I believe the author does a really good job with the "show don't tell" writing style, as it suits this young, budding romance concept. I firmly believe that Yamada is as interested in Ichikawa as he is in her, if not more so; however, both characters are awkward, socially, in regards to this. Though Yamada treats Ichikawa similarly to how she treats her girlfriends, it is only Ichikawa that she chooses to do this with; she behaves uncomfortably when another guy approaches her, especially when she thinks he's going to hit on her. Of course she is not going to be as touchy-feely with him as much as her female pals, that would be highly inappropriate, even in a high school setting.
I would prefer it if the foreshadowing that is not pure speculation was kept to the minimum. I know it adds concrete to arguments, but it also spoils any mystery one might enjoy.
