Ahead of a much-anticipated July 3 premiere, the official website and accounts for the Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian anime unveiled a second main trailer today, giving us our first preview of Maki Kawase as Chisaki Sarashina and Kaito Ishikawa as Toya Kenzaki.
The trailer also features “Himitsu no Kotoba” (“Secret Words”), a collab song between KAF, ZOOKARADERU and Sumire Uesaka, the voice of Alya.
Based on the light novels by Sunsunsun and Momoco, Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian is being directed by Ryota Ito (Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie), who also serves as series composer, at studio Doga Kobo alongside Yuhei Murota (Love Live! series) as character designer and chief animation director.
Crunchyroll will stream the series as it airs in Japan and describes the story:
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!
