This made my normal weekend a wonderful one

Nico, you're one damn lucky girl!

For me, the elephant in the room for NicoMaki is Nico must graduate, and soon, and Maki is probably going to give up music and dancing, so their relationship is somewhat doomed. Alongside that, there is the huge difference between which side of the tracks they're from. With HonoNico, there is what has to be a lot of resentment lurking inside Nico that Honoka succeeded where Nico failed. Straight up, they did exactly the same thing, went through very similarly humiliating starts, and Nico was unable to keep her group together. We saw a lot of that in the "Why is Honoka the Leader?" episode. There's also a little graduation angst, but Honoka might still be into being an idol. I look forward to a HonoNico where Nico gets that out there and they deal with it.

They do have the tsundere vs ditzy but loving girl cliche dynamic, though.

Nico kinda gets over her resentment during the series though, particularly since Honoka ends up making the thing she wanted most -- being a true idol -- possible at all. I can see a little angst over not getting there entirely on her own, but it wouldn't be too major.

As to Honoka continuing to perform, well if the movie is anything to go by...

Gosh wish I was Honk

Uh, I don't think NicoMaki would be doomed just by taking different paths. If their personalities click and don't change a lot through adulthood they could make it work somehow.
