Bukimi Miki's Shy Manga Enters 'Last Battle'

Yen Press is releasing the manga series in English, and it describes the story:

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!

Miki first published Shy in the Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine as a one-shot manga in January 2017, and then began serializing the manga in the same magazine in August 2019. The manga's 30th compiled book volume shipped on August 7. The 31st volume will ship on October 8. Yen Press will ship the 11th volume on October 28.

The series inspired an anime in Japan in October 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired, and it is also streaming an English dub.

The second season premiered in July 2024 on TV Tokyo and other networks. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired, and is also streaming an English dub.
