Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian is a high school romantic comedy built around a delightful linguistic secret. Alisa Kujou is a half-Russian transfer student who has quickly become the most talked-about girl at her new school — admired for her striking looks and exceptional grades, yet known for keeping everyone at arm's length with her cool, aloof demeanor. She pays little attention to Masachika Kuze, the seemingly unremarkable classmate seated right beside her. But Alisa has a habit she believes is completely safe: whenever feelings she can't quite express bubble up, she lets them slip out in Russian, confident that no one around her will understand a word. What unfolds is a charming and comedic story about the gap between what we say and what we truly mean.
