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, 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!

Read the full take

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian begins with an unlikely pairing. Alisa Kujou is the solitary princess of her academy: a half-Russian beauty, top of her class and quietly unapproachable. Yet she has taken on the job of reprimanding the slacker who sits beside her, Masachika Kuze, who keeps falling asleep and forgetting his textbooks. The premise is a classic romcom setup, and the gap between her image and her inner life drives the comedy.The novel's charm lies in its banter. The exchanges between the two are sharp and often very funny, and the school setting provides steady opportunities for misunderstandings. Gradually the warmth beneath the teasing becomes clear.The weaknesses are gag-driven moments that can repeat and a pace that may feel slow for readers who want the romance to move faster. Those who enjoy witty romcoms with a slow-burn heart will find plenty to like. Readers wanting bold progress may find it measured, though its humour keeps it lively.
