Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian is a romantic comedy through and through, with a Half-Russian Half-Japanese at the forefront who can’t seem to convey her true feelings in Japanese.

Plot of Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian
Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian follows Alisa, who is often called Alya, as she shoulders the terrible burden of being the most beautiful girl at her school. Her classmate, Masachika Kuze, is a lazy boy who tends to sleep in class. Alisa is outwardly annoyed by his behavior but secretly she makes flirtatious remarks to Masachika in her father’s native tongue, Russian, assuming he doesn’t understand her. The twist is that he speaks Russian himself, a fact he keeps to himself.
The tension between Alya becoming more flirtatious with Masachika and him struggling with his own growing feelings toward her without being able to reveal them is the core of this romantic comedy.
Yen Press describes Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian as,
"Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou is Seiren Private Academy’s 'solitary princess.' She’s a half-Russian beauty with silver hair, at the top of her class, a student council accountant, and…completely unapproachable. For some reason, she’s also taken on the responsibility of reprimanding the slacker who sits next to her in class. Masachika Kuze is constantly frustrating her by falling asleep, forgetting his textbooks, and just being an overall unexemplary student. Or at least, that’s how it looks from the outside.
She may put on a tough act, but she doesn’t mind Masachika as much as others would think. She even lets him call her by her nickname, Alya. Anyone hearing 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 likes! Except…there is one person who knows what she’s saying. Masachika eavesdrops on her embarrassing revelations, pretending to be clueless, all the while wondering what her flirtatious comments actually mean!"
