This anime is about Alisa, a Russian transfer student who falls in love with a school slacker named Kuze. Often, Alya lets her true feelings slip by whispering in Russian, believing no one will understand the language.
However, Kaze knows and understands the language but puts on a stoic face as their odd friendship continues, day by day. It is a beautiful story worth watching if you want something fluffy and lighthearted.
