I know Kanojo can be used to refer to her or also mean girlfriend. I found this sentence and was curious
甲矢もねじれの親友として彼女と想いが通じ合っている様子が描かれていた
In this sentence, how is it being used and what is it saying exactly? If it's used as "her' does it mean intimacy or not?
Judging from the context you provided, this 彼女 is simply "she", and it refers to ねじれ. She is clearly described as 甲矢's 親友 ("close friend"), so there is no romantic indication at least in this sentence.
甲矢もねじれの親友として彼女と想いが通じ合っている様子が描かれていた。
(very literally) As for Koya, too, as Nejire's close friend, the scene where he had a mutual understanding with her was depicted.
→ [The manga] also depicted the scene where Nejire and his close friend Nejire have understood each other.
