Light novel series "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" is being adapted as a TV anime

Kadokawa announced on Friday that the light novel series Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian (Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san) by Sunsunsun and Momoco will be adapted into a TV anime.



The anime will feature Sumire Uesaka as Alisa Mihairovuna Kujō and Kōhei Amasaki as Masachika Kuse, both reprising their roles from an earlier drama CD. In addition to the anime, Alya will also become a VTuber.

Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, a half-Russian beauty and accountant of the student council at Seiren Private Academy, is known as the "solitary princess." She takes on the task of straightening out the slacker Masachika Kuze, who sits next to her in class. Though she appears strict, she doesn’t dislike Masachika as much as others think. When she mutters comments in Russian, she believes no one understands, but Masachika listens in and pretends to be clueless.

Kadokawa publishes the novels under its Sneaker Bunko imprint, with the sixth volume releasing on April 1. The manga adaptation by Saho Tenamachi launched in October 2022 in Kodansha's Magazine Pocket app.
