I know it's been so long since this started, but I need to comment anyway.

While Mikan definitely has romantic feelings for Rito they are largely focused on him as her older brother.

Citation: To Love Ru OVA ep. 5 part 3 or 4 Summary: in an effort by Momo to prove to Nana that Rito is actually kind, the two of them follow him around for a day. Later on, when they are all going to go flower watching Momo and Nana pretend to skip so that they can use one of Momo's plants, the pollen from which "releases the inner desires of those who inhale it," to try and make Rito show his "true colors," however Rito and lala, both being true to their nature, are unaffected. Anyway, the important part is that Mikans's desires are revealed, but she refers to Rito as 'Onii.'

This is further, and just three episodes earlier, emphasized when we can commonly reminisces of when we took care of her as her older brother. In conclusion, I repeat Mikans's feelings for Rito are centered on him as her brother, but are romantic.
