And it seems that love is more commonly used to refer to romantic interest in someone else, but more rarely about something like, for example, compassion for others, or even family affection, which can fit to people like Eiji too in why he'd take care of others, he's an all-loving hero type.

Man, most teen girls fall in love! Most teens fall in love! It's not reductive or gender-biased to do a story about a teen girl having a crush. Eiji's the only character who doesn't think this is all completely normal and obvious, and that's only because Eiji is not super perceptive when it comes to romance. (Hilariously so!)
