Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.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 amus**ent.
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.

I find the characters of Yuki and the student council president to be incredibly annoying. Yuki is just an all-round c*nt to any other characters she interacts with, such as bullying Alya into eating extremely spicy food that she can't handle, being somewhat violent with the MC, constantly trying to manipulate him into doing things for her benefit and just generally using him. It is stated that he is very fond of her but I can't see why that would be the case, since she treats him like tr*sh all the time.
The student council president on the other hand is more polite but just as manipulative and underhanded. He uses master suppression techniques to try to dominate the MC into joining the student council and when that fails he knowingly places Alya in a situation she can't handle so the MC has to save her and thus realizing he has to join the student council in order to continue to bail her out whenever this happens. When the latter strategy works, he acts extremely smug and self-satisfied about it and the MC being the completely spineless pushover that he is can't help but worship at the altar of this puppeteer big brain as*hole while demeaning himself at the same time.
Lastly and most jarringly, in the epilogue, in return for saving her from a bad situation and all the other unfailingly kind and helpful things he's done for her throughout volume 1, Alya, out of nowhere, for no remotely rational reason whatsoever, and for the first time in this novel, decides to physically batter the MC right after he declares that he's going to become her running mate for the position of student council president, which is exactly what she wanted all along. This part is just completely incomprehensible to me, both from a story consistency standpoint and also why the author would decide to throw this in. Sure, Alya is kind of standoffish and a tsundere, but the severity and disproportion of this response, in the situation they were in when it happened, is just utterly flabbergasting.
Suffice to say, it utterly ruins what should've been a sweet and fluffy scene as well as the emotional climax of the volume and makes the subsequent kiss (maybe?) scene feel weird and uncomfortable. In one fell swoop, it completely ruins the likeability Alya had accumulated over the course of the volume up until this point, which really sucks cause she was my favorite character and probably the main reason I kept reading. I really don't want to see her descend further into the domestic violence abyss in subsequent volumes, so I'm dropping this series at this point.
- the other novel being "I’m The Only Multilingual Master a Russian Transfer Girl Student Who Can’t Speak Japanese Can Rely On"
In any case, the way this novel was written and translated really helped me enjoy it. The fluff on this novel was insane, I can't thank the author and translator enough for bringing this diamond in the... more>>I see a lot of people saying that Maria is a better female lead than Alya. I have to disagree as the problem that I see with Maria being the female MC is not that she is bad, rather, her personality and character was already perfected from the start. This is why I can't really see her undergoing any interesting developments to her personality at this stage of the story. I mean IRL, yh 100 percent, but in the context of novel, Alya makes for a better female MC. I know it was a bit jarring with the whole childhood friend plot thing. In fact, I found it a bit weird because the description of the girl was "Blonde hair and blue eyes". Alya has blue eyes and silver she did mention at one point that she had blonde hair when she was young, so I thought that she would fit the description much better than Maria's brown hair and amber eyes (?). I feel like if she were to be the female MC, the novel would just become another one of those fluffy slice of life romances with enough sugar to give you diabetes (I mean that in the nicest way possible, pls don't kill me T-T)
-
- Lastly, the whole "domestic abuse" thing with Alya slapping the MC. It only happens like twice throughout all of the currently translated volumes. Besides the guy enjoys it, so let him. I just don't think it is reasonable to ditch the whole novel because of a couple slaps.
Lastly, I would like to thank the translators for there hard work. I thoroughly enjoyed the translations (the TN's were funny too) and I will patiently wait for volume 6 to be fully translated. Thank you once again!
