Why not have Jenya play as the heroine, since they are both Russian?

Sumire Uesaka being a Russophile and voicing an actual Russian girl is kind of neat.

I wonder if they'll keep that for a future anime adaption...

Because Sumippe is a better choice for marketing, even if it will be short-term.

I guess for Japanese it's a visual shorthand like blonde is for American/British.
