This. The rat is overrated as hell. Not only she didn't even get what bothered You she was also reluctant to start any other activities with her. She is extremely selfish "leader" who would've been nothing if not for goodwill of You and others.
Honoka had to learn how to be an idol and what it takes to be one. If you actually bothered to watch the series you would see how she transformed from someone who didn't know what she was doing to a competent leader thanks to her past experiences and friends (especially Eri) around her. She also cared about her friends by going out of her way to resume idol activities so she can give 3rd Years a proper sendoff.
She is good giving speeches and convincing people I guess. Back to /vg/ with your samefagging. It's obvious Honoka is a bad leader by any standard possible. She abandoned them by doing the minimum and trained in the rain like a monkey, even after Umi said not to. Chika being a better leader than Honoka isn't hard, Umi and Eli were better leaders, literally anyone that wasn't Honoka was a better leader. It's just retarded to even think about Honoka as a leader. Peak mental retardation
