ALYA SOMETIMES HIDES HER FEELINGS IN RUSSIAN LN (2025)

Masachika Kuse sits next to Arya, a girl of Russian and Japanese descent. She's beautiful, haughty, and an exceptional student, while Masachika is nerdy and known for being a slacker. He's an easy target for her comments in Russian, which she's all too happy to translate-except he can understand what she's really saying!

Alya and Masachika make a promise to fight to the bitter end in their joint bid for election as student council President and Vice President. They start their strategy meeting for going up against the opposition candidate--the overwhelmingly charismatic Yuki Suou.   "So...let's talk student council election strategy..."   "...?????" [He's so cool...] Hhnnnggg! Now he's gotten all flustered by her sweet words in Russian!

Following their victory at the debate, Alya and Masachika have some downtime to strategize for the upcoming closing ceremony. But can you really call an impromptu lunch date, hypnosis chaos, and studying vigorously for exams 'downtime'? Either way, it comes to end when Masachika suddenly gets sick. It's an opportunity for Alya to play nurse...but it's also a chance for Yuki to execute a sneak attack! As the semester comes to an end, Yuki and Masachika are going to amp up their sibling rivalry!

Summer vacation has arrived, so Masachika and Alya have some time to get closer and now she calls him by his first name! Plus, the student council goes on a trip: a private beach and summer festival fireworks set the mood. Swimsuits baring skin, dips in the hot spring, and a game of King really heat things up! What's going to happen in this place where all sorts of romantic situations are possible!?

This collection of short stories captures special moments during the student council's summer vacation, and they may even answer some important questions: How does Sayaka react to the truth about Masachika and Yuki's relationship? What devious activities is Nonoa up to behind the scenes? Will Masachika face up to the aftermath of last volume's fireworks? Why is it so easy for this group to get hypnotized? And is it really possible to punch a ghost?! Find out with this peek into more antics!

Masachika finally recognizes Maria as the girl from his memories-his first love.??After a memorable summer, Masachika and his classmates enter their second semester at Seiren Private Academy! Knowing how much the school festival influences the presidential elections, Masachika encourages Alya to get involved. But he becomes uncomfortable when the distance between her and her classmates shrinks. "Are you...jealous?" As Alya smiles mischievously at him, his heart skips a beat.

Everyone at Seirei Academy witnessed Alya's victory at the trivia showdown on the festival's opening day, and since then they've all been enjoying the event. The final day of the festival approaches, but when Alya and her band get ready to take the stage, a major incident occurs! Someone is scheming to ruin the festival, but Masamichi is determined to deal with it so that Alya can have her time to shine. After all, the show must go on!

After the disruption and chaos of the Autumn Heights Festival, the troublemakers were rounded up and the masterminds dealt with. Alya and Masachika's well-received musical performances were the cherry on top of a mostly successful school festival. Now the duo can look to the future. And there's barely time to rest-they have to start getting ready for the Athletics Festival! However, Alya's urge to monopolize Masachika is growing stronger by the day. To make matters worse, Maria can no longer suppress her feelings and makes a startling announcement! Will their election planning efforts start to crumble with so many emotions bubbling to the surface?

The gut-wrenching and heart-pounding sports festival may have ended in her loss, but it also led to Alya realizing her feelings for Masachika. Now with Alya's birthday party coming up, Masachika finds himself caught up in a major struggle to figure out what to get her as a present. He can't seem to catch a break, and to top it off his sister won't ever be done with her meddling. Yuki gleefully and mischievously pushes Masachika to say what he really wants to say to his partner as they celebrate Alya's birthday. However, a shadow stirs that threatens to interfere with their peaceful days...
