"School Madonna" Masha is Actually Eri's Biological Sister? Uncovering the Secret of the Kujo Sisters in "The Neighboring Eri-san Who Occasionally Whispers in Russian to Hide Her Embarrassment"

In the popular romantic comedy "The Neighboring Alya-san Who Sometimes Whispers Sweet Nothings in Russian," as the student council members gradually appear, a gentle senior known as the "School Madonna" — Masha — has captured the attention of many viewers. Not only does she possess outstanding looks and figure, but her gentle and tolerant personality also makes her a popular character on campus. However, when her full name "Maria Mikhailovna Kujo" is revealed, fans are surprised to discover that she has an extraordinary relationship with the heroine Alya.

Masha and Alya Kujo: Drastically Different Biological Sisters

Yes, Masha is indeed the biological older sister of the heroine Alya. Although they are biological sisters with a one-year age difference, they show a huge contrast in both appearance style and personality.

• Younger Sister Alya: Possesses snow-white skin and long silver hair, with sharp eyes, exuding the aura of an "aloof princess" like an ice beauty. She has a strong, competitive personality and strives for perfection in everything.
• Older Sister Masha: Has bright brown hair, gentle eyes, and always wears a soft, fluffy smile. She gives off a naturally airheaded, gentle, and tolerant feeling, which is why she is called the "School Madonna" at school.

Because Masha always seems like she needs to be taken care of, since childhood it has actually been the younger sister Alya who acts more like the older sister, which also leads to Alya being unaccustomed to treating Masha as an "older sister."

Hidden Relationship: Masha and the Male Protagonist Masachika's Past

Masha's storyline is not just about being "Alya's sister"; she also shares a deep past with the male protagonist Masachika Kise. In fact, Masha is the blonde, blue-eyed Russian girl that Masachika met when he was a child, and she is the reason he worked hard to learn Russian.

Because her hair and eye color changed as she grew up, and because Masha herself deliberately concealed it, Masachika did not initially recognize her as the girl from back then. Masha has always cherished their childhood memories, and even has a mysterious lover nicknamed "Sa-kun." As the story progresses, the true identity of this lover also points directly to the male protagonist Masachika.

A Love Battlefield Between Sisters?

As the truth that Masha is Masachika's "first love" gradually comes to light, the story's development becomes even more complicated. The younger sister Alya has developed hidden feelings for her neighbor Masachika, while the older sister Masha is the childhood memory that Masachika cannot forget. With both sisters harboring feelings for the same boy, this love triangle undoubtedly adds great dramatic tension to the work.

However, Masha's personality is full of maternal love and gentleness, and she does not seem to intend to directly compete with her sister. She sometimes deliberately plays the role of an airhead, seemingly to prioritize her sister's romance. Yet, her feelings for Masachika are also genuine, making the relationship between the Kujo sisters and Masachika one of the most captivating points of interest in the later part of the series.

Conclusion

In summary, Masha Kujo is not only Alya's biological older sister but also a key figure connecting the male protagonist's past and present. The deep sisterly bond between her and Alya, along with the complex love triangle involving Masachika, together form the rich and moving layers of the story in "The Neighboring Alya-san Who Sometimes Whispers Sweet Nothings in Russian." The gentleness of this "School Madonna" and the emotions deep within her heart make her an undeniable charming character in this romantic comedy.
