Premise

Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, nicknamed Alya, is a high school girl with silver hair who looks so beautiful that she turns heads wherever she goes, but her aloof and cold demeanor makes people around her feel uneasy. Masachika Kuze, who sits next to Alya, is an unmotivated student who just stays up late at night and is a sleepyhead at school. Alya often complains about Masachika but seems to be secretly in love with him, and occasionally makes flirtatious remarks in Russian. However, she does not realise that Masachika also harbours a secret crush for her and understands Russian, and her flirty comments towards him constantly leave him perplexed and flustered.

Characters

Seiren Private Academy

Student Council

The main male protagonist of the series, Masachika, holds a position in high school envied by many boys: the seat next to Alisa. He is a sleepyhead who tends to stay up late most nights and lacks motivation in class. Whenever Alisa makes remarks in Russian, Masachika pretends not to understand, but secretly he does, thanks to his paternal grandfather, who was a great lover of Russia, and from watching television programmes. It is later revealed that he was originally the heir of the Suou family, a position he renounced after leaving the estate with his father, with his younger sister Yuki inheriting the position. He was allowed to leave the Suou household on the condition that he could never disclose his connection with the household or that anyone from the household was his relative, including his own biological sister Yuki Suou, and his mother as well. He secretly has a crush on Alisa and is always willing to help in any way he can, but deems himself unworthy for her and thinks she only flirts with him as a way to tease him.
  • Back in the days when his surname was still Suou, he was considered the prodigy of the Suou house. Therefore, he received elite education from his maternal grandfather Gensei. Yet, as Yuki got asthma and his mother Yumi ignored him, Masachika felt more stressed and eventually collapsed. Following his parents' divorce, he followed his father Kyoutarou and left the Suou family. Owing to the fact that he 'gave up' Yuki and Yumi ignored him, he started to feel unmotivated and sorry.
  • He loves his little sister Yuki, treating her as the most important person in existence.
  • He is a Student Council General Affairs Officer, and is running for the next Student Council election as the proposed Vice-President, with Alisa being the President.
    /
  • Alisa is a beautiful and talented first-year student who is popular for her looks and cold attitude. She was born to a Russian father and a Japanese mother. She occasionally makes remarks in Russian, which confuse her teacher and her classmates. Though she is popular and attracts the attention of many boys and girls at school, because of her cold demeanour, Alisa doesn't have many friends and isn't very experienced at social interaction, though that slowly changes the more she spends time with her classmate Masachika. She disapproves of Masachika's lack of motivation, but at the same time, she seems to be in love with him, and constantly flirts with him in Russian. She is Maria's younger sister. She spent part of her life in Vladivostok, where she had difficulties making friends. She is the Student Council Treasurer, and is running to be the next Student Council President, with Masachika as her running mate.
  • Her cold attitude could be rooted to her experiences in Vladivostok. One time, when she was doing a project work with her groupmates, she realised that her groupmates were too lazy to start working early. Her groupmates, however, then quarrelled with Alisa since she was working too hard. The project work later came as a failure, so she decided to work hard on her own and avoid working with others, leading to her cold attitude.
  • She likes to eat sweet food, and is afraid of eating spicy food.
    A first-year who serves as the Student Council Public Relations. She is Masachika's younger sister who serves as the eldest daughter of the Suou house, whose origin was a former noble family and has shouldered the role of a diplomat for generations, becoming the heir after Masachika and their father left the family. She is a genuine, beautiful and straightforward girl, and enjoys teasing Alisa over her romantic feelings for Masachika, as Yuki's relation with him is not public knowledge. She and Alisa are rivals, and she occasionally torments Alisa for her performance to attend the Student Council. She has a follower, Ayano Kimishima, who becomes her running mate when she runs for Student Council President as Alisa's challenger.
  • She and Masachika are forced to hide their true relations in public by pretending to be childhood friends, and like Alya and Masha, she's among the most popular girls in school. Yet, when only Masachika and Ayano are around, she displays her another face: Otaku and cuteness. She sometimes makes sexual remarks due to her otaku nature. She loves Masachika the most. She often comes to Masachika's home to stay overnight.
  • She used to have asthma when she was small, but claims that she has recovered and has never caught a cold since middle school.
    /
  • Alisa's older sister, a second-year and the Student Council Secretary. She has a sweet and gentle personality, and is always caring of these around her, especially Alisa and Masachika. She is just as beautiful and popular as her little sister.
  • She likes to make black tea for herself and other Student Council members. She also likes cute things, once attempting to buy several dolls to be put inside the Student Council room.
  • She is Masachika's childhood friend and first love. They used to play together when they were young, and he became sad when she moved away. Because Maria's Japanese was not as fluent as her Russian, his knowledge of Russian allowed them to form a bond.
    She is a follower of Yuki, who is naturally silent and expressionless. She is a Student Council General Affairs Officer. She was previously a follower of Masachika, but after Masachika relinquished his position as the heir of the Suou household, she became a follower of his younger sister, Yuki, when Yuki was chosen to become the heiress of the Suou household due to Masachika's decision to give up that role.
  • She is a masochist and respectfully loves Masachika and Yuki. Moreover, she is sweet and cares for others a lot.
  • She keeps a low profile at school. When she speaks on stage during the End of Year Service, most schoolmates do not know who she is, and are surprised by her beauty.
  • She is running for the next Student Council election as the proposed Vice-President, with Yuki being the President.
    The Student Council Vice-President and a second-year student at the high school. She is feared by some male students and is extremely popular among female students. She's currently dating the student council president, Touya Kenzaki. Her hobby is kendo. She is bad at paperwork, but is good at dealing with quarrels, especially by means of threat.
  • He is the charismatic Student Council President of the high school section. A second year student and Chisaki's boyfriend. He used to be obese and have bad grades back when he was in the middle school section, but changed himself in order to win Chisaki's heart, whom he had always been in love with.
  • Other students

    A beautiful but stoic girl who competed with Yuki for the position of Student Council resident in the middle school and currently is a public morals committee member. She once looked up to Masachika and Yuki for their teamwork and mutual honesty, but was left crushed when she found out Masachika decided to partner with Alya for the upcoming student council elections against Yuki. Nevertheless, she reluctantly decides to become their subordinate along with her closest friend Nonoa Miyamae.
  • She is a first-year high school student and Sayaka's best friend. She has blond hair with a loose perm.
  • She could not feel other people's emotion, but only acknowledge. Therefore, she only act as what others would like to see for her benefit. Moreover, she could analyse things around her rationally.
  • She planted several shills during the Student Congress in order to place Alisa in disadvantage, but eventually decided to stop and partner up with Alisa and Masachika, alongside Sayaka.

The idea was scrapped since he felt that it would be troublesome to explain the new environment, so he went with a real-world setting instead. Regarding Alya's half-Russian heritage, the author stated that he was influenced by the beauty of Russian women.[2]
