The premise of the series
Shy season 2 is going to continue adapting the superhero manga written and drawn by Bukimi Miki, published by Weekly Shonen Champion. It has had 23 volumes since starting publication on August 1, 2019, and Yen Press describes the story as:
"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 own shortcomings than she does battling villains, but she'll show the world that despite it all she still has the heart of a hero!"
