I thought Alya was the russian girl Kuze mentioned. But her hair color is different, so maybe its not? Could still be her though, I can see a twist in play here.

This setting with the girls just somehow remind me nisekoi lol

@adbeaver Keep watching. You're gonna love how the story pans out. And there will be twists in S2.

not bad start the anime seems nice, the only problem I have is why they are half russian and not any other nationality ;/ not good with russia attacking Ukraine

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

@L1on777 They're fluent enough, you'll see for yourself in the final episode. She assumes a rather cute tone just so the tone happens to align with the character's personality.

@Paydah14 Still think it's 'so-so'?


Regardless of what you may think, the LN isn't. And S2 will be the best romcom of whichever season it airs.

This was SUCH a great start to watch. I'm already hooked and I enjoy the concept of having 3 languages being used in anime. It makes for a great narrative tool and also helps me learn a new language. However, I did NOT see the guy actually understanding any Russian whatsoever, so this is even more interesting than what I had initially anticipated! Time to watch this cook!

It's funny and feels good, although it's not perfect, as there are some flaws, but I can overlook them.

Well, the ecchi is there. There's some romance. There's some comedy. A special feature in the form of the Russian language. It looks like a typical culturally light title for each season. Recently there was a title about a gyaru from Hokkaido. Very reminiscent. It's probably not a masterpiece, but it's enough to watch and admire.
Next is the Conspiracy Corner:

13:23 You know I actually quite like the childhood friend girl. In most anime she would be the main girl or something. I feel she's pretty good competition. Just look at that smug smile of hers! Still she's childhood friend so too bad good luck in another life. I really do like her as well though. I hope she finds happiness like all the other Childhood friends in my head canon.
ο»Ώ
ο»ΏRussian girl speaking cute Russian is too over powered. She's even got silver hair.
ο»Ώ
ο»Ώ14:30 so this has to be her as a kid right? Unless we get two russian girls and 2 childhood friends? Oh wait maybe it's her sister? Anyways assuming it's her then she should know that he understands Russian right? I guess she just thinks he has forgotten? Also if it is her that MEANS CHILDHOOD FRIEND WINNING!? MAYBE JUST MAYBE IT MIGHT HAPPEN!? It would also explain why she likes him in a easy way.
ο»Ώ
ο»Ώ15:11 Ah so he studied Russian just to talk to a cute russian girl based but then how'd he forget her name? Man's got that convenient memory lose.
ο»Ώ
ο»Ώ17:33 bruh the feet. They definitely allocated plenty of budget, time, and passion on those. I still don't get why people like feet but good for you guys. Y'll eating good. I feel like there's a lot more feet stuff in anime since 2020. I mean for a popular recent example there was Frieren were serie's feet was in like every scene she was in.
ο»Ώ
ο»Ώbruh omg the sounds lol. This is why you need to wear head phones while watching anime. I guess I can enjoy this even if I don't like feet.
ο»Ώ
ο»Ώ19:38 bro got a foot fetish now after all of that lol. I guess of course he would. I don't like feet but the thighs were nice. I wonder if he's a masochist too after getting that kick and panty shot combo.
ο»Ώ
ο»ΏThis episode is an 8/10 just for the cute Russian. It's too cute when ever she speaks in russian. Anyways this looks fantastic. The Mc isn't annoying at least compared to most romcom mc's he's got some personality. The girls are unbelievably cute. He'll probably join the Student council too and then there's going to be even more cute girls. So this well probably be my Romcom of the season besides Oshi no ko which is by the same studio. Again though I really have to compliment the VA for Alya. She's probably the best choice for Alya. I love it when characters that speak two different languages are by the same VA and is fluent.

Also, another plus Alya technically is a childhood friend as well so no matter which girl THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND WINS! Though obviously it's going to be Alya. The series would burn if the author decided for him to choose the other girl for some reason.
@Rexnihilo This is a peculiarity of Japanese law. From the point of view of the Japanese bureaucracy, foreigners have no surname, no family tree and no other Japanese documents. In other words, they have a surname, but in the same time they don't. Foreigners are usually accepted into the family and added to the existing family tree. It's easier that way. In general, the Japanese bureaucracy, like any bureaucracy, is quite annoying. They have little skill in dealing with migrants, expats and the like. There may be an additional advantage to taking a Japanese surname that I don't know about.

This episode was kind of strange! I feel like it brought up several topics all at once, and the one that annoyed me the most was the flashback.

I hate it when there’s a flashback of a boy meeting a girl and wishing to find her again—when we all know it’s the girl standing right in front of him! I mean, how many girls in Japan speak Russian besides Ilya and her sister Maria?

Anyway, I enjoyed seeing Ilya tease the main character. Let’s keep watching.
