The official Twitter account for the anime Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san ( Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian ) revealed this Tuesday (7) a new visual and a premiere date for April 2024.
Synopsis
Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou is the "lonely princess" of Seiren Private Academy. She's a silver-haired, half-Russian beauty at the top of her class. She's also the student council's accountant and... completely unattainable. However, for some reason, she's also taken it upon herself to scold the slob who sits next to her in class. Masachika Kuze constantly frustrates her by falling asleep, forgetting his textbooks, and generally being a less-than-exemplary student. Or at least, that's how it seems from the outside.
She may seem tough, but she doesn't care as much about Masachika as others would think. In fact, she even lets him call her by her nickname, Alya. Anyone who hears the comments she mutters in Russian under her breath might know how she really feels, but since none of her classmates understand the language, she's free to say whatever she wants! However, there's a twist: there's one person who knows what she's saying. Masachika listens to her embarrassing revelations, pretending not to know, while wondering what her flirtatious comments really mean!
