Alya, Who Sits Next to Me, Sometimes Whispers Sweet Nothings in Russian

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!

“И на меня тоже обрати внимание…” Alya, the incomparably beautiful silver-haired girl in the next seat over, occasionally mumbles to herself in Russian. She says she switches to it whenever she’s badmouthing me…but I know the truth! I know for a fact that she just said “Pay attention to me, too” to me! I, Masachika Kuze, actually have native-level skills when it comes to Russian comprehension, but Alya has no idea about that…and that’s why she keeps on hiding those sweet feelings about me in her native language! That’s the premise behind this high-school rom-com featuring one killer high-spec half-Russian heroine! *Source: K Manga* ---- Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou is Seirei Private Academy’s “solitary princess,” a half-Russian beauty who treats everyone with an ice-cold attitude. But there is one exception—Masachika Kuze, her nerdy classmate, is the only one who gets to call her by her nickname, Alya. And when she mutters in Russian under her breath, pretending that she’s telling him off, she’s actually gushing over how cute he is! It’s a good thing Masachika doesn’t speak Russian. After all, if he was secretly a Russian expert who could understand every embarrassing, flirty line coming out of her mouth…That’d be the worst, wouldn’t it?! *Source: Yen Press, Vol. 1*
