Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

I'm a sucker for Russian devochki, both in video games and anime. I'm not really big into rom-coms, but because the main girl is Russian in this anime, naturally, I'd have to give it a watch, even though I'm a few years late. Anyways, first impression is pretty positive. The plot is nothing too special, but the characters seem to be likeable. The main guy, Masachika is especially relatable, as I too get excited whenever I pull a super rare character in gacha games. Alya's got that cold, yet tsundere personality, which is honestly one of my favorite personalities to see. The animation is also really nice. So far, so good. I have a hunch I'll be pausing quite a bit for this series as well, seeing as I like listening to the sound of Russian language, lol.

Understanding Sayaka's reasons for being against Alya and Kuze felt like something any fan of a couple would relate to. Alya's perseverance proved that she deserves Kuze's support. This episode was pretty emotional, but it was really good.

Another character has been introduced, and I like Ayano's chill vibe. She seems pretty cool and doesn't really interfere with the rivalry between Yuki and Alya. The card game was pretty cute, but I'm hoping for a bit more intensity. Lol.

Alya being possessive even when Kuze isn't around is so cute. I'm loving the rivalry between Yuki and Alya, and it's a huge step that Alya finally admitted she wants Kuze. It's great to see her becoming more honest with her feelings.

Yuki's admiration for Kuze, her big brother is kind of weirding me out personally. But the dynamics of Alya and Kuze fits perfectly and I love Alya's tsundere side this is what makes this anime good. Nothing much in this episode, just Kuze being surrounded by girls, and his relationship with Alya hasn't progressed yet.

Kuze show's his skill here of how much he's reliable to be a student council member. He's a natural, I guess! Alya and Kuze's ship is starting to sail, but still he's unreadable to Alya.

This episode focuses on Alya's childhood and her passionate personality when it comes to things. Kuze and Alya's personality compliments well even when they are different when it comes to working hard. I love their chemistry.

Alya's being a stalker, I don't know but I find it cute. And her trying the spicy food was funny. LOL. You really will do a lot for someone you love.

First episode and this seemed like an interesting anime for me, the language thing was kind of interesting concept for romance. Alya's cuteness and Masachika Kuze pretending to be gullible is quite funny.

Episode 12 serves as a warm and satisfying finale. It does not rely on shock or spectacle; instead, it trusts the characters and their journey.

Episode 11 is a powerful emotional buildup leading to the finale. It emphasizes character resilience and trust instead of major plot twists.

Episode 10 is a gentle, character-driven installment. It's not about grand drama or unexpected plot twists—it's about two individuals gradually lowering their defenses

Episode 9 offers a lighthearted and humorous detour. It's not focused on plot or deep character development; instead, it allows the cast to be silly while providing fans with some classic rom-com chaos.

Episode 8 is an intelligent and satisfying continuation of Episode 7. It emphasizes character development and ideas rather than romance, which is effective for this stage of the story.

continue in episode 7, The stakes are raised, and the characters are developed in a powerful, character-focused episode. But the middle part has a little slow pacing and is less romantic

Episode 6 is good and entertaining. It's beautiful, funny, and develops the characters, yet not in the most interesting episode. I love this episode so much

This episode lays essential groundwork by exploring the characters' motivations, expanding the supporting cast, and highlighting how, despite their different personalities and communication styles

Episode 4 is a pivotal moment & significantly advances the romantic subplot, shifting the genre from high-concept comedy to a high-quality character drama

Episode 3 is the core of the early season. It transitions the series from being merely a gimmicky rom-com to a character-driven drama. sets with a more serious and romantic element in a flashback scene for the next episode

seeing alya on stage during the closing ceremony was such a big moment. she looked so nervous but hearing kuze whisper a small encouragement from the side made her eyes light up. the way she finally smiled with total confidence while the petals fell around her was the perfect end
