Mikasa and Eren are Not siblings. Mikasa was just adopted by the the Yeager's after loosing her parents and killing the one of the killers. Eren's father never wanted Mikasa's and Eren's relationship to be a brother-sister one. He wanted them to become friends. And of course Mikasa stayed with them for only 1 year. Furthermore Eren himself told Mikasa that he isn't her brother nor her child. So there is no way their relationahip is sibling like. Moving on to the friendship relationship. This is the form of their relationship right now; really great friends. Nothing more and othing less. That is how Eren thinks of their relationship.

On the other hand, Mikasa thinks Eren as her only left family. Naturally. But as shown to us to some specific chapters Mikasa loves Eren way more than a sibling would love a sibling. It is obvious that she loves him and cares for him more than she believes and allows the others to see. She could be in love with him, but afraid of revealing her true feelings.

Anyway, there is a great possobility for Eren and Mikasa to become a couple, especially after chapter 50. But not right now. If a relationship between this two would begun right now it would be because there are many fans ( including me ) that want this to happen as soon as possible. It would be forcing them to become a couple only to satisfy the fans. The right thing is these two to grow up closer and closer chapter and then to become a couple. Maybe after 15+ chapters. But it is highly possible. There is no such a sibling thing limit and noone else fitting for each of them, to become a couple, other than themselves. Jean x Mikasa; it is more like a joke. Jean appears to have a crush with her but as shown to specific chapters, Mikasa could only be in love with Eren and would consider only him to become mate with her.

Although this is a shonen manga it is not impossible to see any romance. After so many deaths and bloodshed i think little romance would be nice. Nut not in that certain point. If Eren an Mikasa became a couple right now what kind of romantic relationship would be left to be shown in the series? My opinion is; Eren and Mikasa will become a couple but only close to the ending or maybe little sooner. This would be the right point for their relationship to take place.
