However, behind this flawless facade lies an enigmatic personality that intimidates those around her.
Masachika Kuze, Alisa’s classmate, is the exception to this rule. A young man of simple tastes, immersed in the world of anime and gacha games, Masachika arouses Alisa’s interest in a singular way. Although he appears indifferent, he is the only one who manages to capture the attention of the enigmatic idol and in her attempt to protect her vulnerability, Alisa tends to be hard on him, reserving her gestures of affection for the Russian, not realizing that Masachika understands the language and plays at keeping the secret.
As this quirky pair exchange witty and mischievous remarks, their relationship blossoms into a delightful dance, charting a path to romance. In Tokidoki Bosotto Roshia-Go from Dereru Tonari no Arya-san, we witness how Alisa might finally learn to release her truest feelings in this captivating journey toward self-discovery and true love.
