Everything We Know About Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian Season 2

As mentioned earlier, Kadokawa has greenlit the production of the second season of Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian. The news didn’t surprise many, as the series had won the hearts of fans with its quirky story. However, no precise release date or time has been made available.

The first season ran from July 3rd to Wednesday, September 18th. Fans can still watch the popular anime on Crunchyroll, available in dub and Sub. While not much is known about the season 2 cast, many believe it will reprise the same core characters. This includes Sumire Uesaka, who stars as Alisa “Alya” Mikhailovna Kujō, Kōhei Amasaki as Masachika Kuse, Yukiyo Fujii as Maria “Masha” Mikhailovna Kujō, and Wakana Maruoka as Yuki Suō, among many others. 

As for staff, Ryota Itoh directed the first season at Doga Kobo and was also in charge of the series scripts. Yūhei Murota handled character design and also served as the animation director. Ryo Kobayashi was the series producer, Hiroaki Tsutsumi composed the music, and Risa Wakabayashi was the art director.

Yen Press releases the novel in English and describes the series as follows: “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, a student council accountant, and…completely unapproachable. For some reason, she’s also been responsible for reprimanding the slacker who sits next to her in class. Masachika Kuze constantly frustrates her by falling asleep, forgetting his textbooks, and being an overall unexemplary student. Or at least, that’s how it looks from the outside.”

The synopsis continues, “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 while wondering what her flirtatious comments actually mean!”
