Yes, she does. But considering the context I still believe that it wasn't a confession of love. Misato asked Akira why she could stay so composed after losing her two friends ("You lost a classmate and your partner, didn't you!? They were your friends too...! You should be more...!" ~Misato). Then Akira lost her composure and said that she liked both of them. But the "liked" in this case referred to her friends and not her "crushes". I think Akira only wanted to convey that she has to behave composed while working (she was only putting on a facade), but there's no way that the deaths of her two friends could've left her cold.

So, Akira classes them together as she considers both of them her friends. It's known that she loves Amon, but I don't think that it contradicts to her statement that she liked him also as a friend. Moreover, why should she also confess her feelings for Amon in that situation like Misato? Personally, I don't think it's her type to openly reveal her crush to anyone.

Btw., the whole thing with two crushes is already strange. If that would have been really the case, then there should have at least been one or two hints of affection for Takizawa even if it was only in a friendlike way. It's already a surprise that she thought of him as a friend, but to consider him a lover? And if she does love him, why did she make a move to Amon?

If you still think otherwise, then could we at least agree on changing the "loved" to "liked" as that's exactly what Akira said and leave the interpretation up to the readers? I mean, it's at the very least not unambiguous that Akira really meant that she loved both of them in a romantic way.
