ALYA SOMETIMES HIDES HER FEELINGS IN RUSSIAN GN (2025)

Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, nicknamed Alya, is a half-Russian beauty with silver hair, at the top of her class, student council accountant, and completely unapproachable. She's taken to reprimanding the slacker who sits next to her in class, Masachika Kuze - a geeky, unmotivated, and unexemplary student who couldn't care less about keeping up his grades. Secretly, Alisa holds a certain fondness for Masachika, only revealed by the occasional Russian muttered under her breath that no one in her class can understand... except Masachika! He eavesdrops on these embarrassing revelations, pretending to be clueless, all the while wondering what her flirtatious comments actually mean!

'It's no big deal to be alone.' The story rewinds to Masachika's and Alya's first meeting back in middle school, when the Russian transfer student was struggling to prepare for the school festival all on her own. A snowy day long ago taught her to close herself off from others, but perhaps a helping hand from a nerdy boy can thaw the solitary princess's frozen heart…

Alya still doesn’t realize that whenever she lets her true feelings slip in Russian, Masachika understands every word. But she’s got other things to worry about—like mediating a dispute between sports clubs! Even with her best efforts, she can’t calm anyone down. Why would they listen to her when she’s always been so cold and aloof? Luckily, in her moment of crisis, a certain someone offers his hand…
