Hello. Do you have a link to the interview where they mention this? Thank you!

When they're at the manga café, he's reading volume 3 of "Space brothers", iirc

Hi , do you mind telling me where you watched it? 👀 (my fave is also Hayato ♥)

I knew it the second the camera focused on him from the car, when we see his back while he's talking to the store/restaurant's (?) owners.

That last part is a given, I think. Sumiko told him not to worry about her or Kanau, that they would be ok.

I think so too. I hated how they kept using that background music with Ryo-chan, like he was some psychopathic character. Ugh.
