I think they mean just in general, like there's some kind of really subtle hinting that she likes Minami herself
it might just be us being paranoid from previous reads, but a specific example would be the last panel of this page

the author didn't have to make her look so ominous while asking that question, but they did, which gives us some questions about the friend

That deflection at the end about loving the galaxy was a bit too stupid for me even considering this is clearly meant to be not a very serious comedy... this either makes more sense in Japanese or the author was mostly trying to imply that Yuzu was just dozing off and interpreted this weirdly... I dunno.

I'm too lazy to check the raws but I assume she originally phrases it without an explicit recipient, which you can't really do in English.

honestly, they’re so touchy feely that if this was a comedy oneshot I’d expect the punchline to be Yuzu being like “I thought we were already dating.”

Minami:
Yuzu: Sits on her lap.
Minami: UNIVERSE

I thought it'll be another one of those series where the protagonist fumbles around with her feelings for half of it, but no. Minami has a plan and a wedding dress already picked for both of them.

I sort of hope that this won't be too long of a series. Mostly because this gimmick, while cute, can get a bit tiring, or the only way to prolong it is to introduce unnecessary drama. There's also a chance that the author will skillfully drag this out in an entertaining way. Which I'll happily accept.

I honestly still feel that this is how it'll go, at least partly.

In any case, the story's adorable, and I'm having fun. Looking forward to what comes next. Also, I definitely agree that it seems like something's up with the friend, but it might also just seem like it. Would be one hell of a twist, though, if Minami and Hinori get together in the end.

I think there are a lot of good ways to prolong a story with this premise past the point of mutual love and a steady relationship, but at least half of them don't fit with the tone of this manga lol.

I remember feeling a little mixed about last chapter, but this one has re-excited me! Hurray for dates, delicious and nutritious oasis fruit.

Regular MC in a romantic comedy: Struggles with the idea of being atracted to her friend for at least 10 chapters.
This MC by the third chapter: I'M GOING TO MARRY THIS GIRL!

I'm just saying, I'm loving the attitude of this girl. Here's hoping she keeps it up for the rest of the series.

I was wondering if someone confessing to Minami would trigger something in Yuzu, but we already know Minami has been confessed to a lot, so that probably wouldn't tell us anything. Now I'm curious if any girls have confessed to her before. Her just leaning and sighing got half her class blushing.

Well if we wanna go hypotheticals I'd say optimal course of action would be for Hinori to fill Yuzu in on the situation, preferably before the date, because otherwise Yuzu won't catch on as to what kind of date it'll be.
It's okay to have a cupid or two you're close friends with help you out with that. Confessing is hard, hmkay? Sure took me until the very end of our date till I asked my wife out, even though I knew (thanks to not one, but two cupids) that she was into me.

It does make more sense in Japanese. It's a pretty common gag in Japanese media for a person to say "I love [you]" while the target of their affections is paying attention to something else, at which point they'll be like "Oh, you love pancakes? OK, I'll get you some pancakes!"
This is due to the fact that it's easy to imply both subject and object in Japanese without it sounding stupid. But translating 好きだ as "It's love..." to convey the structure more in a 1:1 way would also make very little sense. So we're stuck having to understand a gag that is linguistically nonsense in English :)

I think "I'm in love" would have kinda worked, but as is so often the case there's no perfect solution. It'd likewise have no recipient, but it'd be linguistically consistent and it'd make sense for Yuzu to misunderstand it.

I love this, it's so sweet and cuddly.

Minami is hilarious, she is such a daydreamer lol.

Yuzu is adorable! No wonder Minami fell for her
