I still think that somehow Liz and Honjo know each other from the past. Liz had a thing for the MC, went through a MAJOR makeover, became an idol and is much more confident that the then popular MC would fall for her only when she showed a glimpse of the "real her" Honjo just literally pushed her away and can only see the rockstar. We shall wait and see for god knows how long.
I was thinking along similar lines as well.
Also, for someone who had a previous relationship, Honjou is acting like she never had one before.
Yeah but Honjou had previous relationships with "normal" girls, this one is a Rockstar and with earrings issues. LMAO
