She whispers her feelings in Russian—too bad he understands every word. Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, or “Alya,” is the beautiful, intelligent, and slightly aloof classmate that everyone admires. She often mutters comments in Russian under her breath—snarky, sweet, or teasing—and assumes no one around her can understand. But what she doesn’t realize is that her seatmate, Masachika Kuze, can. As he quietly listens to every affectionate aside, Masachika struggles to keep his cool while Alya unknowingly flusters them both. A romantic comedy full of language barriers, blushes, and cross-cultural charm!
