Synopsis

Seirei Academy is a prestigious school attended by the very best students in Japan. Alisa Mikhailovna "Alya" Kujou, the half-Russian and half-Japanese treasurer of the school's student council, is known for her intelligence, stunning looks, and rigid personality. Contrasting her near-flawless persona, Alya's unmotivated classmate Masachika Kuze slacks off during lessons and seems to show no interest in her.

Initially irritated, Alya gradually becomes more intrigued by Masachika and starts expressing her affection for him in Russian. However, she is oblivious to his secret—he understands the language fluently! Due to a childhood friend who was temporarily staying in Japan, Masachika has been studying Russian in hopes of reuniting with her.

As the two spend more time together, the playful and eccentric relationship between them quickly deepens. In the meantime, both must learn to navigate their new growing feelings for one another.

Cute and fluffy. The election thing does feel like it drags, but the show is cute enough to stave off this issue.

The Russian thing does get slightly old near the end, however, I hope the future season fixes this issue and the whole trope gets
dropped.

The entire arc surrounding the school election does tire a bit, as obviously the stakes are faked and shallow. I did struggle to watch around this part, but it's my only real complaint. And it's minor enough that I feel the show doesn't suffer too much from it.

The MC and his sister are cringy and lame, however, I actually feel that ...

Mixed Feelings
I realized very early on that I’m probably not the target demographic for this anime—it seems clearly aimed at p*rn-addicted self-inserts. Since I don’t consider myself part of that group, take my review with a grain of salt.

I have very mixed feelings about this anime, so I’ll break them down into clear points:

Art and Design:
Easily the best part of the series. The character designs are beautiful, and the animation is consistently well-executed. I honestly can’t ask for much more in this department—it’s top-notch.


Characters:
There’s plenty of variety among the characters, but many feel like they exist solely to attract as wide an audience as possible. The ...

First two eps of "Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san'', i thought this would be an interesting Romcom anime with good humour and rememberable characters. However, the more i watched, the more dissapointed i became.

The fact that Alya is russian doesn't affect the story as much as it could, rather it just complements a few repetitive humorous scenes. Most of the comedy scenes in this anime are quite forced, repititive and bland. Things that carry this anime is probably the constant reliance on incest jokes.

Character building in this anime is quite decent. Most characters are fine except the 2 MC. Alya doesn't have ...
