Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

I'm a big fan of romcom genre in animes but, alya san and 90% of romcom anime have a unnecessary long story.

I love character development, but prolonging a lot only for earning more is annoying.

A story have beginning, development, critical Moments and ending... But current manga have a beginning a development, a longer unnecessary chapters, a critical and sometines a Bad ending or a Open ending.(Kanokari, domestic Kanojo...) I Likes alya san, but im afraid sunsun can waste the Potential of alya san.

I love alya san because masachika is a lazy but a smart Guy, and alya a smart Girl , i Hope they can stay together.

"Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" is a great example of how school romance anime can still feel fresh and enjoyable.

One of the highlights is the protagonist's sister, whose slightly provocative behavior is portrayed as a well-crafted character trait. She often breaks the fourth wall, speaking directly to us viewers, while the clueless protagonist remains completely unaware - which adds a fun layer of humor.

The real strength of the series, however, lies in the chemistry between Masachika and the top student Alya.

Alya's cold and often condescending attitude toward Masachika is portrayed brilliantly, and the German dub captures her tone perfectly.

No, this show is not as good for me to call it a miracle. It's a very nice romantic comedy with drama and anything that you'd expect from a typical coming of age anime.

What really flashed me here was the Russian language. You see, I grew up with either Russian movies or American movies where Russian is totally butchered and made fun of. Also, I know that the Japanese like other languages like English or German, but due to their very specific use of the Japanese language, they rarely pronounce anything correctly.

Imagine my surprise and joy when I heard real Russian in this anime! Sure, it's with a heavy accent and the main characters have a better pronunciation than the side characters, but still. There were longer parts where I did not even need to read the subtitles and I understood everything. Kudos to the voice actors!

It was worth it to hire a Belorussian teacher of the Russian language as an advisor. Everyone has done a great job and I am looking forward to the second season.

(16+) A very funny series with a cast of likeable characters, some of them quite quirky. The animation is gorgeous, and the story is fast paced with a few little surprises thrown in for spice. One of the supporting characters is actually my favorite (Yuki) because some of her actions are quite unexpected. Some of her actions are a little risqué, but it's her overall quirkiness that is really endearing. This series pokes fun at itself and anime/manga in general, and it really works!
