"Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings In Russian" Was Originally Envisioned As An Isekai Story (animehunch.com)

Interesting bits of an interview with the series author. So, instead of Russian, it was meant to be that the female main character was isekai'ed. From the article:

In this version, the reincarnated heroine would speak Japanese to the protagonist, feeling confident that he couldn’t understand her.

The twist would be that the protagonist was also a reincarnated person who could understand Japanese perfectly. This humorous misunderstanding was meant to form the core of a short story.

That's weird but cool.

I feel like the change was sensible. Worldbuilding is great as long as it does some purpose in the story; in this case however I feel like it wouldn't, it would simply get in the way. And without the worldbuilding it wouldn't be worth the trouble to make it isekai.
