What? That quickly with an anime? That doesn’t bode well.
This Manga is just an adaptation of the Light Novel, currently have 5 Volumes with a 6th on April 1st, licensed by YenPress with 3 Volumes (there is a fantranslation up to 5 too though)

The chosen va for the main characters did skits in youtube to promo the LN a long time ago, along with voicing that promo oneshot from 2 years ago too

So ANN has an article for the announcement vid, with the two versions on Youtube (Russian and Japanese).
VA is Sumire Uesaka, who (acc. to her page) specializes in Russian as well, so that's something to look forward to hearing.

Oooook. So a bit of a russia-thing trivia. Nicknames are a thing in russia, but they are mostly (yong) male (who try to be hip) thing or of criminal background and most of the time is an improper thing to call each other. When russian first names (even those loaned from other cultures like greek-roman or norse) they have meaning and like about 12 different forms either as slight alteration of name, shorter version or diminutive form. (Like name Vladimir has froms of Vovka, Vova, Volodya, Vovochka, Volodyuka among others, same with Alisa as Alechka, Alya, Aliska, Ala and ect.) They are the thing for close relations, i.e. friends, family, lovers. Usually (well most of the time) consent goes from the person itself and it's extremely impolite to impose it on someone who is not your friend or closer. Now russian is extremely polite when it comes to names. Calling someone by surname is impolite, a good way to offend and get into trouble, in formal speech to call someone by just name or surname is to purposely insult the person, you should use the first name with a patronim instead. Only people on equal footing and in non formal situation and being at the very least acquaintances can call each other by first names.

So the whole thing in the chapter is our MC being a bit of an ass toward person of other culture.
But in Russia children usually call each other by their short names, am I wrong (at least it was so when I studied at school)? Do you imagine a kid calling another kid by their full name (Alexander, Ksenia?) - it sounds very unrealistic, it's too formal for them. So let's not forget these guys are like 15-16? It's normal for a boy calling a classmate by her short name, moreover they are already quite of acquaintances.

This is, like, at least the fourth time I've seen the character type of the school idol who hates how she gets treated because she doesn't feel she's recognized enough for her hard work (that is, her virtue).

They are in 2nd year of Middle school in this flashback, so they are around 13-14. So, even more younger than that.

Anime already implies that either it's really far away, or we get a ton of anime-original content, right? Doesn't feel like they have more than 6 eps right now.
