On Japanese forums, two light novels featuring Russian girls are trending topics, causing concern among fans that their popularity may decline in light of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
Fans have concerns about light novels that feature Russian girls
Therefore, the first light novel is Nihongo ga Hanasenai Russian Bishoujo Tennyuusei ga Tayoreru no wa, Tagengo Master no Ore 1-nin, written by Asahi and illustrated by Amedamacon .
Synopsis:
Tina, a beautiful and cute Russian girl who transferred to the class, immediately becomes popular, but every time someone tries to socialize with her, she starts crying because she doesn't know Japanese. In this case, the only person she can count on is the protagonist Iori, who is hated by everyone due to a certain misunderstanding.
Now the second one is called Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go by Dereru Tonari no Aalya-san written by Sun Sun Sun and illustrated by Momoco.
Synopsis:
The story follows Masachika, an ordinary student who is lucky enough to sit next to Aalya, a beautiful young Russian woman with silver hair. Aalya constantly says things to Masachika in Russian as if they were insults, usually making him smile. The reason for this, however, is that Masachika understands the language and knows that Aalya actually cares about him and says sweet and friendly things.
In the forum comments we can read:
- " It's over "; " If you think about it a little, you could change your nationality to Ukrainian ";
- I don't know about you, but the outlook for what could happen seems horrifying to me “;
- If we can get him to say "Fuck Putin" in the story, both of them can be saved
- There was a time when the internet and subculture idolized Putin, and there was a new boom in Russian culture, but that's history now.
