Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

## Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian A cold, popular half-Russian honor student secretly flirts with her slacker classmate in Russian, never realizing he understands every sweet word she thinks is private. Alya Mikhailovna Kujou is a beautiful, half-Russian honor student admired by her whole school for her brilliance and aloof, ice-cold demeanor. She pays no attention to her lazy deskmate Masachika Kuze, except to occasionally mutter affectionate, flirtatious remarks at him in Russian, certain that no one around her can understand. What she doesn't know is that Masachika is fluent in Russian and catches every embarrassing word, choosing to play dumb and keep her secret. Their deadpan dance of hidden feelings and pretended ignorance powers a sharp, charming romantic comedy about pride, miscommunication, and the things we only dare to say in a language we think no one else speaks.
