She met Yamato Akitsuki because of an incident that happened in their childhood at her family’s shrine which Yamato often visited. Ever since, Honoka has had a crush on him, but she was too shy to talk to him until they began attending high school together. Honoka eventually manages to confess to Yamato and when she does they begin dating, but their relationship doesn't last longer than a month because of Yamato's lingering feelings for Suzuka Asahina and her own insecurities. After realizing that Yamato does not hold her in his heart the way she wants him too, Honoka begins to encourage Suzuka to stop hiding her feelings for him and to move on to the future where a relationship between the two of them is inevitable. Honoka became a model later in life. Suzuka and Yamato's relationship was on and off which gave Honoka another chance to win Yamato over however Yamato took this as a joke and gave her the message that she wasn't in his heart.
