Ruby Hoshino/Relationships

Aquamarine Hoshino
Ruby Hoshino's older brother. He is very overprotective of her sister; not wanting her to walk the same path that killed her mother. He is often called a "sis-con" by her and her friends due to this and the lengths he goes to prevent her from achieving her dreams. Often she is hindered by his presence and is annoyed by his personality, as seen when he puts on a face when he first entered a dating show: these scenarios being incredibly off-putting for her and her colleagues. As time goes by, he becomes more and more accepting of her sister's wishes and even goes as far as to help them prepare for their gigs. He disguised as Pieyon to prevent any problems in coordinating their dances and singing. He and Ruby are closer than one might think, but not to the point where they aware of who was who in their past lives.

In chapter 53, Ruby was curious as to why Aqua was going home late every day. Melt informs her that he's been seen going home together with Akane for awhile. Ruby became suspicious and tries to ask him about this before Minami warn against this. When Minami suggested that they were doing lewd things, Ruby was frantic but soon became serious as she couldn’t imagine her brother risking pregnancy with a high school girl. She adds that if he did, she would lose all respect for him.

Ai Hoshino
She is Ruby Hoshino's mother. Even in her past life as Sarina, was a big fan of her and her work. She was elated when she reincarnated as her daughter, as she was able to get to experience her dream before her goal in becoming an idol. She was spoiled and demanded her mother's attention whenever she was around. She would utilise every moment to fawn over Ai so she could spoil and dote on her. When she was still alive, her mother reflects how similar she’s like to an Otaku after Ruby complimented her smell and asked what shampoo she uses despite using the same ones. After her mother's passing, she was determined to follow in her footsteps and prays to her tombstone regularly to update her on her life.

Mem-Cho
She is the first member member of Ruby's newly revived idol group B-Komachi upon Aqua's recommendation. Initially being picked up by Aqua after their performance in "LoveNow": she uses her talents, experience, and notoriety for the group's fame. Despite being the oldest in the group, way past the ripe age for an idol, Ruby was accepting of her, as they shared the same dreams, and still looking completely eligible for an idol. Ruby looks up to her and comments how she is a cutie when they first met. Both of them are optimistic hard workers, which only serves to further propel their friendship.

Kana Arima
Ruby and Kana shares a long history but only started interacting with one another recently when Kana joined her group. They've known each other since they were children and currently attends the same high school. They often talk to each other about their line of work and due to Kana's affinity towards Aqua, they are able to continuously banter on about him. They both share a dislikes towards his personality and his unwillingness to do much. Ruby is aware that Kana is a talented actress and may go back to being one soon, and so, she takes her presence is their group seriously.

Akane Kurokawa
In chapter 41, Ruby is shown to know and follow Akane since she was her brother's girlfriend. At that point, Aqua had told Ruby beforehand that they only had a professional relationship. This causes Ruby to ruminate how scummy guys like him are the worst for not taking a 'cute' girlfriend like Akane seriously. Ruby then vows to be nice to Akane when they finally meet face to face, hoping that day comes soon.
