At "AnimeJapan 2026" on March 28th, new material for the second season of the romantic comedy "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" (Japanese: "Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san") was presented. The franchise, often abbreviated as "Roshidere" in Japanese, revealed a so-called "Ultra Teaser PV" as well as the first key visual and several new character images.
The first key visual for the second season shows the main characters Masachika Kuze, Alya, Yuki Suou, Masha, and Ayano Kimishima. At the same time, four new character visuals were released, dedicated to the four supporting characters: Sayaka Taniyama (voiced by Ikumi Hasegawa), Nonoa Miyamae (Yoshino Aoyama), Chisaki Sarashina (Maki Kawase), and Touya Kenzaki (Kaito Ishikawa).
The second season, originally announced for 2026, is now scheduled to air in 2027. As the production team announced, the delay serves to further improve the quality of the series. Hiroshi Haraguchi serves as director, who already directed the fourth episode of the first season. Yuka Yamada is responsible for series composition. The animation studio Doga Kobo remains in charge of production.
Additionally, a livestream event titled "2nd Roshidere Project General Meeting 2026" is planned for May 6th, 2026. The main voice actors Kōhei Amasaki (Masachika), Sumire Uesaka (Alya), and Wakana Maruoka (Yuki) will participate.
