Exploring Alya and Masachika's relationship in Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

No, Alya and Masachika haven't gotten into a relationship as of yet in Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian light novel. While Alya blurted out her feelings of love in Russian (я тебя люблю: I Love You) in episode 4 of the anime, it wasn't an open confession, where she expected Masachika to reciprocate her feelings.

Rather, it resulted from an emotional outburst when Masachika promised to stay by Alya's side and try his best to realize her dreams of becoming the next student council president. Alya didn't know that the boy comprehended Russian, so it wasn't a direct confession on her part.

As for Masachika, he was confused about Alya's feelings. When he heard the words of love, his mind returned to the thoughts of his childhood friend with whom he shared a special bond. He was too involved with his own complexities to listen to Alya's feelings properly.

That said, Masachika eventually figures out about Alya's feelings for him in the light novels. In the fight volume, he learns that Maria Mikhailovna Kujo is his childhood friend with whom he shares a deep bond.

While Maria still deeply cares for and loves Masachika, she decides to sacrifice those feelings for the sake of her sister, who also loves the boy. She tells Masachika to think about Alya's feelings. In other words, she openly reveals to the boy about her sister, Alisa Mikhailovna Kujo's actual feelings.

Yet, despite knowing about Alya's feelings of affection for him, Masachika Kuze remains conflicted. Somewhere in his heart, he still harbors feelings for Maria. At the same time, he holds Alya dear to him.

As of this writing, Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian light novel hasn't shown Masachika confessing to Alya. On the other hand, the silver-haired girl has truly realized her feelings for the boy in the eighth volume of the light novel series.

The fourth chapter of the eighth volume shows Alya at the infirmary, recalling the words spoken by Masachika to Ayano at the staircase. While eavesdropping, Alya heard Masachika saying that Yuki Suou remains dearest to him.

She wants to believe she misheard him but quickly recalls the boy glancing at Yuki while playing piano during the school festival. Alya is still unaware that Yuki Suou is Masachika's sister. With a trembling voice, the girl whispers that she loves Masachika Kuze, ensuring no one hears her.

Alya realizes she cannot imagine a future with anyone other than Masachika. The thought of Masachika not being there begins to ache in her heart. Even though she realizes her feelings properly, she hasn't told them to the boy yet.

That said, Alya has finally figured out that Yuki Suou is Masachika's sister in the latest (eighth) volume of Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian light novel.

However, the volume ended on a cliffhanger without revealing Alya's reaction to the truth. As such, it remains to be seen whether she musters the courage to confess her actual feelings to Masachika in the upcoming volume.
