And Hiro also seems to treat her a sister, obviously, since he misses his sister who doesn't want to live with him. He doesn't see her as a woman, so yea as much as I'd like to see MaoxHiro, I think the mangeka has to do a better job of differentiating between romantic love and sibling love, unless she's doing it on purpose to only have them realize it on their own sometime later.
For my fav pairing- I like her classmat Oda more, I think he's mature and an understanding guy who can take care of Mao.
