Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian, Vol. 4.5

By: Sunsunsun, Momoco, Matthew Rutsohn - translator

Narrated by: Taylor Meskimen

This collection of short stories captures special moments during the student council’s summer vacation, and it may even answer some important questions: How will Sayaka react to the truth about Masachika and Yuki’s relationship? What devious activities is Nonoa up to behind the scenes? Will Masachika pretend his intimate moment with Alya never happened? Why is it so easy for this group to get hypnotized? And is it really possible to punch a ghost?! To find out, follow along as they make summer memories!

Great side stories

The different side stories were fun and expanded the characters. The afterword was more a kid trying to meet school assignment then afterwards. Lots of word no real meaning - very entertaining

To think I almost skipped it

One of this series' biggest strengths is the chemistry of the cast, and this volume delivers so many good moments between characters (even if it's all side stories more or less). I would say "if all you want is more Alya and Masachika" then skip to Volume 5, but that would be a lie, they aren't left out of this one either.
