If you enjoyed the anime “SHY,” you’re in luck! The official website of this adaptation from the manga written and illustrated by Bukimi Miki has revealed a new promotional video for the second season of the project. This video confirms that the premiere is scheduled for just a few days from now, this coming July 1st in Japan, while showcasing a snippet of the opening theme titled “WILLSHINE,” performed by PassCode.
The first season consisted of a total of twelve episodes and aired during Fall 2023 (October-December) in Japan.

Bukimi Miki began publishing this manga in Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shonen Champion magazine in August 2019. This was the author’s first work, so there are no prior references to their art.

Synopsis of “SHY”
In the mid-21st century, powerful individuals with superhuman strength appeared all over the world. These people, who wore flashy clothes and performed incredible feats in the name of peace, became known as heroes, symbolic figures of the nations they came from. In Japan, Teru Momijiyama, a 14-year-old student, is known for her secret identity as Japan’s heroine, Shy.
As a young and timid girl, Shy is a fairly novice heroine with much to learn. She struggles to trust herself and wonders if she deserves the title of hero. Despite her self-doubt, Shy strives to save people and do the right thing. As new and powerful threats emerge, Shy must cooperate with heroes from around the world while learning what it means to be a hero.
We already have a clear idea of the plot of “SHY,” and we even enjoyed its first season. It’s great that we didn’t have to wait long to receive the second season, don’t you agree? Come on, check out the comments and tell us what you thought of the first season of “SHY,” or its original manga if you had the chance to enjoy it. You know, we’ll be reading! 😉
