Get ready for a significant wait, fans of *Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian*! The highly anticipated second season of the charming rom-com anime has officially been pushed back, with its release now slated for 2027. This major postponement comes with a clear reason: the production team aims to “further improve the quality” of the series, ensuring an even better viewing experience for its dedicated audience.
Originally, the second season was expected to premiere sometime this year, making the new 2027 target a considerable shift. Despite the delay, the creative team behind the anime is gearing up for the next chapter. Hiroshi Haraguchi, who previously directed an episode in the first season, is stepping up as the main director for Season 2. He’ll be joined by Seong-Min Kim as assistant director and Yuka Yamada as the series composer. Yuhei Murota will continue his role as character designer, maintaining the beloved visual style, and Doga Koba will once again be in charge of the animation production.
For those unfamiliar with the delightful premise, the story centers around Alya, a popular transfer student known for her cool demeanor and excellent grades. She often keeps her distance from her seemingly ordinary classmate, Kuze Masachika, except for those intriguing moments when she unexpectedly blurts out flirtatious phrases to him in Russian. The catch? Kuze secretly understands Russian but pretends not to, setting the stage for a uniquely quirky and endearing love story. With this postponement, viewers can anticipate a polished and engaging return to Alya and Kuze’s unfolding romance.
