Tenamachi (Shōsetsu no Kami-sama; Itsuka, Nemuri ni Tsuku Hi) launched the Russian manga Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in October 2022 on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket app.
Kadokawa publishes the novels under the Sneaker Bunko label. Yen Press is releasing the novel in English and describes the story:
Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou is the “lone princess” of Seiren Private Academy. She was a half-Russian beauty with silver hair, top of her class, the student council accountant, and…completely unapproachable. For some reason, she was also responsible for reprimanding the lazy boy sitting next to her in class. Masachika Kuze often frustrates her by oversleeping, forgetting textbooks, and just being an exemplary student. Or at least, that's how it looks from the outside. She may act tough but she doesn't mind Masachika as much as others think. She even let him call her by the nickname Alya. Anyone who heard the comments she muttered in Russian could tell how she really felt, but since no one in the class understood the language, she was free to say whatever she wanted. whatever you like! Except…there was someone who knew what she was talking about. Masachika eavesdrops on her embarrassing revelations, feigning ignorance, all the while wondering what her flirtatious remarks really mean!
The novel inspired an anime that debuted on July 3. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired and also streamed the English dub. The anime is about to have its second season.

K MANGA describes the story Mother's love, daughter's prison:
The body of a headless, limbless body was found half-buried on the riverbank. It belonged to middle-aged mother Yaeko Miyagawa, and after an investigation and trial, her daughter Hikari finally confessed to her murder. For years, Hikari was physically and mentally abused by her mother, which revolved around her failure to get into a top medical school and become a doctor. Even after nine years of futile registration and auditions, Yaeko still refuses to free her daughter from this virtual prison. What led to the fatal stabbing that killed Yaeko? This series, based on a true story, will explore Hikari Miyagawa's experiences up to her greatest tragedy—and what happened to her afterward.
Aya Saitō wrote the book (A Mother's Love, a Daughter's Prison) Haha to Iu Jubaku, Musume to Iu Rо̄goku in December 2022, based on a true story. Satokun is drawing the manga adaptation, which debuts Saturday in Japan.
