This reminds me more of the manga version of Eli, insofar as she was the one groping Nozomi when they met. And in some older original art depicted Maki grabbing Honoka. It all makes me wonder if the washi washi thing really was meant for Nozomi, or if it just kind of ended up being her trait when the anime came around.
Also, Nozomi cheerfully taking pictures made me laugh. ^_^
