Is Honami the end girl? In need of Copium.

This post includes spoilers for Light Novels, so if you are not an LN reader, this is your cue to leave the thread.

Now, we all are big supporters of Honami and know she is the best girl. We all want her to be the end girl, but realistically, what are her chances? Certainly, she is putting herself out there as the girlfriend candidate, and she is the first person Kiyotaka had physical relations with, assuming he didn't do it with Kei (although I think he did with Kei). She has a big fan base and is really popular in Japan (which matters the most), but story-wise, don't you think the author is pushing Horikita as the end girl?

Why am I afraid that Honami might lose to Horikita:

• The fact that Kiyotaka smiled naturally for the first time in his life around Horikita (This is the biggest source of Doomium for me).
• Horikita being the first girl that was introduced, and his first so-called "friend".
• His obsession with and highly inflated rating of Horikita.
• The fact that now it's established that Horikita also likes Kiyotaka. It seems in the 3rd year, their romance will blossom, and he might betray Honami again.

Personally, I would hate for Horikita to be the end girl and want it to be Honami, but I don't see it happening. Thoughts?
