What a rush(ian)! The highly anticipated Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian anime adaptation today announced that the rom-com series will premiere on Wednesday, July 3 at 23:30 JST in Japan, while also releasing a character trailer for Masachika Kuze (voiced by Kohei Amasaki).
A new character trailer will be released every week in the leadup to the anime’s broadcast.
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.
Yen Press publishes an official English version of the light novels and describes the story:
Masachika Kuse sits next to Arya, a girl of Russian and Japanese descent. She’s beautiful, haughty, and an exceptional student, while Masachika is nerdy and known for being a slacker. He’s an easy target for her comments in Russian, which she’s all too happy to translate-except he can understand what she’s really saying!
