	In the manga by Tokiota Arumi, Honoka is depicted as someone who, rather than planning ahead, focuses wholeheartedly on the important matters right in front of them.

That said, during their first live performance, when the audience mocked them, they felt the sting of their own powerlessness, and along with Kotori, Rin, and Hanayo, they burst into tears (at this time, Umi remarked that it was the first time she saw Honoka cry).
