Well, I think it's simply a matter of the standard pattern in most series. The male and female leads are typically romantically linked, so it's normal for people to assume that for this series as well.

The fact Ishida draws them together a lot, and presents their dynamic in certain ways can lead to that conclusion. They certainly are presented as important in each others' lives, and think about each other in ways that could be read as romantic. Though whether things actually end up as such or not in-series is up to Ishida entirely.
