Another Doga Kobo production, Though I Am an Inept Villainess, was recently delayed from April 2026 to July 2026.
Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian adapts the KADOKAWA Sneaker Bunko light novel series written by Sunsunsun and illustrated by Momoko. Yen Press describes the source material as such:
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!
Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian started in 2020 as a number of Shosetsuka ni Naro web short stories. The light novel series began in 2021 and has 11 main volumes as of November 2025. A Kodansha-published manga adaptation by Saho Tenamachi started serialization in 2022.
The anime’s first season premiered in July 2024.
