A Russian waifu will arrive with Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

On the official site for the anime adaptation of the light novels written by Sun Sun Sun and illustrated by Momoco, "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian (Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Aalya-san)", the first promotional video for the project was revealed. The video confirms that the premiere is still scheduled for the Summer-2024 season (July-September) in Japan.
The premiere was originally scheduled for the Spring-2024 (April-June) season, but the production team listed that the delay is "with the goal of making this anime more enjoyable for everyone."
On the other hand, Sun Sun Sun began publishing the light novels through Kadokawa's Sneaker Bunko publishing imprint in February 2021 in Japan. A manga adaptation by Saho Tanamachi has been published on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket service since October 2022.

Synopsis of Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian
「"И на меня тоже обрати внимание." "What did you say?" "Nothing special. All I said was, 'This guy is really stupid.'" "Could you stop insulting me in Russian!?" 」Aalya, a beautiful silver-haired Russian girl who sits next to Masachika, had a triumphant smile on her face. However, the reality of the situation was different. What he actually said in Russian was "Pay attention to me too!" In fact, Masachika can actually understand Russian. However, Aalya has no idea that he can understand her. Today once again, she says sweet words to him in Russian, and Masachika just can't stop smiling to himself. A teen romantic comedy with a Russian schoolgirl that everyone would adore!
