Plot

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!

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, everyone remains wary around the near-flawless girl because of her seeming aloofness. 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--which she doesn't realize that he actually understands, pretending otherwise for his own amusement. As the odd pair continues to exchange witty, playful remarks, their relationship gradually grows more romantic and delightful--and Alisa might finally learn to freely convey her true feelings.
