Shy #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume launches the English-language release of the superhero manga series Shy, collecting the opening chapters of the story. It introduces the titular teenage heroine, a shy and reluctant member of Japan's superpowered defense team, as she struggles with self-doubt while facing a new global threat. The collection sets up the series' central themes of anxiety, heroism, and personal growth within a colorful, action-driven narrative.
In "Because I'm Shy," 14-year-old Teru Momijiyama faces her greatest challenge yet—not as the masked hero Shy, but as a girl grappling with the weight of her own doubt. When a heroic rescue goes wrong and leaves someone hurt, Teru’s fragile confidence shatters, leaving her unable to call on her powers. Written by Ajani Oloye and brought to life with expressive art by Bukimi Miki—whose distinctive style extends to the cover, also by Miki—this issue captures the quiet, raw intensity of a young hero confronting the cost of failure.
