Platonic love is really important for the Japanese, especially family or friendly (many works even purposely portray friendship as a kind of "romance" to emphasize its strength and importance), but I doubt that this is the case. It is not played as Class S, since the girls are too youn for this and there are no strong emotional bonds between them, and it is not played as a more general romantic friendship, because Hotaru's behavior is one-sided.

However, "our" title is rather soft and fluffy, so personally I think, that the author really wanted to say that Hotaru is a lesbian. Not to mention the fact that in one moment Minoni begins to suspect that she may be bisexual because of her "feelings" towards Taiga. But this is my personal opinion, so you can have your own interpretation and I understand it.
