Ah, no wonder this sounded familiar, I remember reading the oneshot(different artist) made to promote the novel. I'm more excited to read the novels though personally...
There's another fun romcom novel adaptation manga with a very similar theme I'm reading called Russian Transfer Student Who Can't Speak Japanese(日本語が話せないロシア人美少女転入生が頼れるのは、多言語マスターの俺1人) written by Asahi(アサヒ). Sadly, neither that novel or manga has an official translation. |

I listened to the audio-dramas on Youtube from the official Kadokawa channel. It's good fun, since Uesaka Sumire is a fluent Russian speaker and pulls off her Russian lines convincingly, but the internal monologue of the male protagonist gives his startled reaction because of his fluency despite him keeping a nonchalant poker face to her Russian language quips.
One needs to read the actual novels to see what's being said in Russian (translated into Japanese), since the audio-dramas on Youtube don't translate what's being said. Russian-language natives have the edge here, but those are few and far between for Japanese light novels. Sales figures for this particular franchise were roaring prior to this year's major event, so it appears it hasn't been too badly affected by geopolitical factors and has earned its right to a manga spin-off. |

It would be rather unjust if it were the case that this work was affected by the whole situation. Or are we going to boycott the original Love Live, or Cinderella Girls? Or Tchaikovsky? Uesaka Sumire already got attacked online back in February. Now, I just want an anime adaptation, with Uesaka taking the role. |

^This. The Russian fictionary works, at least when not taking directly sides in this, have no blame even when the nation itself, or at least its government, engages in blatant war crimes and human rights violations. There's been many characters of Russian heritage in anime, manga etc over the years, one of the earlier ones Kud from Little Busters!.
Shame on those who did. Admiring culture and works is not the same as siding with a tyrant. |

I second this. I saw this the promotional material in Russian too and I am really glad they picked Uesaka for the role. And of course people attack 
Given the popularity of the light novel, I think an anime adaptation is likely already internally greenlit but will take sometime, say late 2024/early 2025? |

This has nothing to do with the conflict. As an allegory, do you also think the color black should be banned because it's so often associated with evil? |
