Plot

Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou is considered the idol of her institute. She has conquered the hearts of countless male students, but she has her eyes on one Japanese boy who she flirts with in Russian, who also happens to understand Russian.

Smart, refined, and strikingly gorgeous, half-Russian half-Japanese Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou is considered the idol of her school. With her long silver hair, mesmerizing blue eyes, and exceptionally fair skin, she has captured the hearts of countless male students while being highly admired by all others. Even so, due to her seemingly unapproachable persona, everyone remains wary around the near-flawless girl. One of the few exceptions is Alisa's benchmate Masachika Kuze, a relatively average boy who spends his days watching anime and playing gacha games. Despite his nonchalant demeanor, Masachika is the sole student to receive Alisa's attention. Unable to be fully honest, Alisa is frequently harsh on Masachika and only expresses her affection in Russian. Unbeknownst to her, however, Masachika actually understands the language yet simply pretends otherwise for his own amusement. As the odd pair continues to exchange witty and playful remarks, their relationship gradually grows more romantic and delightful-and Alisa might finally learn to freely convey her true feelings.—MAL Rewrite

Alya is a transfer student enjoying popularity at her new high school, often sporting a cold shoulder while earning high marks in class. She ignores her nerdy classmate, Kuze Masachika, except for when she blurts out a flirtatious line to him in Russian. Little does she know, Kuze understands Russian, though he pretends not to. Let's see where this wacky love story takes them!.—Crunchyroll

Masachika Kuze is seated next to Alya-san, who consistently gives him the cold shoulder. Though occasionally she will speak to him in Russian and blurt out a few flirtatious phrases. No word of it escapes Masachika's notice. That is because Masachika can listen to Russian at a native level. Alya-san occasionally blurts out sweet words while acting as though he does not understand. Masachika acts as though he does not understand the meaning. Where will their tale of love-which makes you smile-take them??—Bilibili TV
