“Tokidoki Bosotto Roshia-Go de Dereru Tonari no Arya-san” introduces us to the life of Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, a young woman of enormous beauty and dual heritage, with Russian and Japanese roots. Alisa reigns at her high school as the undisputed idol, with a presence that captivates everyone in her path: dazzling silver hair that waves gracefully, mesmerizing blue eyes and pale skin that seems to glow, driving everyone crazy. 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.
