■ About TV Anime "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian"
A TV anime based on the hugely popular novel published by Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko, created by author SunSunSun and illustrated by Momoco. The first season aired from July to September 2024 to great acclaim, and a second season is scheduled to air in 2027.
Alya-san, called the solitary princess and the object of admiration for all students, acts affectionate only toward protagonist Masachika Kuze - but only in Russian.
However, she doesn't know that Masachika's Russian listening comprehension is at native level.
A heart-warming romantic comedy that will make you grin!
