Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian is a Japanese light novel series written by SunSunSun and illustrated by Momoco. It was originally published online as two short stories on the novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō on May 6 and May 27, 2020, respectively, before being acquired by Kadokawa Shoten, who have published the series since February 2021 under their Sneaker Bunko imprint. The story follows a beautiful and talented young Russo-Japanese girl who is a popular transfer student at her new high school in Japan, often sporting a cold shoulder with a lazy and unmotivated boy while earning high marks in class.
A manga adaptation by Saho Tenamachi began serialization online in Kodansha's Magazine Pocket app and website in October 2022. An anime television series adaptation produced by Doga Kobo aired from July to September 2024, with a second season being announced.
By August 2024, over 500,000 light novel copies have been sold in circulation.
