If you still don’t know the story of Tokidoki Bosotto Roshia-go Alya, here we have Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, also known as “Alya”, an attractive student of Russian origins whose beauty turns heads wherever she goes. However, she shows no particular interest in anyone, except for “Masachika Kuze”, who despite showing little interest in school managed to win Alya’s heart.
Masachika’s lack of interest in school means that Alya is constantly scolding him and, from time to time, takes the opportunity to make a comment or two in Russian, his native language. However, Alya does not only scold Masachika in this language, but also takes the opportunity to express his feelings, thinking that he will not understand her. What Alya doesn’t know is that he really knows how to speak Russian and can perfectly understand every word she says to him.
