Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian, Vol. 2 by Sunsunsun (Artist), Momoco (Artist), Matthew Rutsohn (Translator)

After saying some pretty embarrassing things to each other, Alya and Masachika are trying to figure out the nature of their changing relationship. Alya’s feeling a bit flustered now that she’s seeing more of his “cool” side, but she needs to clear her mind and be ready for rivals popping out of the woodwork. One of Masachika’s childhood friends doesn’t approve of her, and his former middle school election opponent throws down the gauntlet. The campaign to win the student council election begins in earnest with the first debate! Maybe some adversity will at least help to bring the two a little closer.
