About this title

Synopsis

Smart, refined, and strikingly gorgeous, half-Russian half-Japanese Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou is considered the idol of her school. With her long silver hair, mesmerizing blue eyes, and exceptionally fair skin, she has captured the hearts of countless male students while being highly admired by all others. Even so, due to her seemingly unapproachable persona, everyone remains wary around the near-flawless girl. One of the few exceptions is Alisa's benchmate Masachika Kuze, a relatively average boy who spends his days watching anime and playing gacha games. Despite his nonchalant demeanor, Masachika is the sole student to receive Alisa's attention. Unable to be fully honest, Alisa is frequently harsh on Masachika and only expresses her affection in Russian. Unbeknownst to her, however, Masachika actually understands the language yet simply pretends otherwise for his own amusement. As the odd pair continues to exchange witty and playful remarks, their relationship gradually grows more romantic and delightful—and Alisa might finally learn to freely convey her true feelings.

Birthday: November 7 Blood type: A Height: 170 cm Russian name: Алиса Михайловна Кудзё Alisa is a beautiful and talented first-year student who is popular for her looks and cold attitude. She was born to a Russian father and a Japanese mother. She occasionally makes remarks in Russian, which confuse her teacher and her classmates. Though she is popular and attracts the attention of many boys and girls at school, because of her cold demeanour, Alisa doesn't have many friends and isn't very experienced at social interaction, though that slowly changes the more she spends time with her classmate Masachika. She disapproves of Masachika's lack of motivation, but at the same time, she seems to be in love with him, and constantly flirts with him in Russian. She is Maria's younger sister. She spent part of her life in Vladivostok, where she had difficulties making friends. She is the Student Council Treasurer, and is running for the next Student Council as the proposed President, with Masachika being the Vice-President. Her cold attitude could be rooted to her experiences in Vladivostok. One time, when she was doing a project work with her groupmates, she realised that her groupmates were too lazy to start working early. Her groupmates, however, then quarrelled with Alisa since she was working too hard. The project work later came as a failure, so she decided to work hard on her own and avoid working with others, leading to her cold attitude. She likes to eat sweet food, and is afraid of eating spicy food. (Source: Wikipedia)

Birthday: April 9 Blood type: O Height: 173 cm The main male protagonist of the series, Masachika, holds a position in high school envied by many boys: the seat next to Alisa. He is a sleepyhead who tends to stay up late most nights and lacks motivation in class. Whenever Alisa makes remarks in Russian, Masachika pretends not to understand, but secretly he does, thanks to his paternal grandfather, who was a great lover of Russia, and from watching television programmes. It is later revealed that he was originally the heir of the Suou family, a position he renounced after leaving the estate with his father, with his younger sister Yuki inheriting the position. He was allowed to leave the Suou household on the condition that he could never disclose his connection with the household or that anyone from the household was his relative, including his own biological sister Yuki Suou, and his mother as well. He secretly has a crush on Alisa and is always willing to help in any way he can, but deems himself unworthy for her and thinks she only flirts with him as a way to tease him. Back in the days when his surname was still Suou, he was considered the prodigy of the Suou house. Therefore, he received elite education from his maternal grandfather Gensei. Yet, as Yuki got asthma and his mother Yumi ignored him, Masachika felt more stressed and eventually collapsed. Following his parents' divorce, he followed his father Kyoutarou and left the Suou family. Owing to the fact that he 'gave up' Yuki and Yumi ignored him, he started to feel unmotivated and sorry. He loves his little sister Yuki, treating her as the most important person in existence. He is a Student Council General Affairs Officer and is running for the next Student Council election as the proposed Vice-President, with Alisa being the President... (Source: Wikipedia)
