The official website for the anime adaptation of Shy has announced that the series will receive a second season. In commemoration of the announcement, Miki Bukimi, the creator of the manga from which the anime is adapted, has shared an illustration.
The first season of the Shy anime debuted in Japan in October 2023, and all 12 episodes can be streamed on Crunchyroll. The series is directed by Andou Masoami (Astra Lost in Space, Scum’s Wish, School-Live!) at studio 8-Bit (Blue Lock, Yama no Susume).
Miki first published the manga in January 2017 as a oneshot in Weekly Shounen Champion. In August 2019, she began serialising it in the same magazine, and the 22nd tankoubon volume was published in Japan on December 7, 2023.
Earth was on the brink of a third World War when super-powered individuals came forth from each country around the globe, ending the conflict and ushering in a new era of relative peace. Among those heroes, Japan is represented by a timid young girl known as “Shy.” She may spend more time worrying about her shortcomings than battling villains, but she’ll show the world that despite it all, she still has the heart of a hero!
