Honoka's actually the first person Maki has shown interest in the anime so it's pretty viable there, though SID/Manga will probably laugh in your face. I say it's cute af and Inuzuka really loves to draw the two. Heck, the doujin they drew about married HonoMaki was one of my favourites!
In any case, nobody can turn down Honoka. Rule #32 of Love Live, right after Do not give Eli potato chips.
