The show is trying to sell the idea that a Russian high school girl is cute and lovable just because she sometimes blurts out her true feelings in Russian. The episode starts with her walking into school, and some jackass stops her, asking her out in the most annoying way possible.

The comedy aspect isn't even... IDK what to say—it's the same typical cut-and-dry stuff we've seen in almost every school romance anime. It's ironic how dumb and cringy it feels.
