A second main trailer has arrived for the Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian anime, which is set to premiere in Japan on July 6 following a screening at Anime Expo on July 4. This one shows more of the adaptation while sampling the Sumire Uesaka-voiced Alya’s performance of the song “Himitsu no Kotoba.”
Based on the light novel series by Sunsunsun and artist Momoco, the show is directed by Ryota Itoh (My Senpai is Annoying) and animated over at Doga Kobo. It stars Sumire Uesaka, who majored in Russian in college, as Alya.
Here’s how Yen Press describes the light novels:
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!
