Best Shojo Summer 2024 Anime Series: Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

This particular shojo series is the quintessential mix of comedy, romance, and high school drama. The story follows the half-Russian, half-Japanese idol of the school, Alya, who is pretty unapproachable to everyone but the unremarkably average boy Masachika.

Their interactions with one another are simultaneously adorable and hilarious, especially with how, as the name states, Alya often makes witty remarks to herself in Russian. Unbeknownst to Alya, though, Masachika secretly understands every often surprising Russian statement she makes.

Narenare Cheer for You!

If you’re looking for less romance and a bit more of a sports vibe, Narenare might be the anime for you this season. It follows a group of six girls who form a cheerleading group to compete in. Not only is the cheerleading sport a refreshing angle for a series like this, but the friendship between the main girls is the real hook.

Senpai is an Otokonoko

By far this is my personal favorite and likely to be my overall pick for the best shojo anime series of the Summer 2024 season. As the title of this series subtly implies, there is more to the main character Makoto than meets the eye.

This is by far the most progressive anime series I have ever seen and its handling of queer characters within the lens of Japanese culture is absolutely exceptional and often heartbreakingly relatable. There really is no love triangle or shojo anime series like this one, so I recommend it to everyone.
