A teaser trailer for 2027’s Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian Season 2 has been released, previewing the returning main cast and teasing a past connection.
The TV anime, which was originally meant to begin airing this year, and its 2024 prequel season are based on the light novel series written by Sunsunsun and illustrated by Momoko. Yen Press describes the books’ synopsis 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!.
The light novel series debuted in 2021 and has 11 main volumes, published under the KADOKAWA Sneaker Bunko label/imprint, as of November 2025. A Kodansha-published manga adaptation by Saho Tenamachi started serialization in 2022. The light novels were preceded by several Shosetsuka ni Naro web short stories, the first of which was released in 2020.
