Bukimi Miki’s Shy finally received an anime adaptation, and the first episode premiered on Crunchyroll on 2 October 2023. The first episode was very intriguing because when do we ever see our favorite superheroes act nervous? We are hoping to get to know our protagonist a little more in Shy Episode 2.
This particular anime stands out for various reasons, especially since we hardly ever see the heroes act anything but confident in public. From what we can see, it is still uncertain if the protagonist really wishes to be a hero or if she was thrust into this world forcefully.
Shy is a perfect blend of action, drama, comedy, and slice of life with a cool female protagonist. It is not often that the hero of a Shonen series is a woman, but this manga has certainly broken some barriers. We are all excited to see the protagonist’s journey to overcome her lack of self-confidence and do some world-saving in the process.
The visuals are really stunning, and we are all quite happy with the animation so far. The anime is pretty wholesome, and it is mostly about Teru, the heroine, trying to find her footing in life. As a savior, she obviously carries a lot of burden on her shoulders, which makes her nervous.
The anime adaptation of Shy was announced in October 2022, and it is being produced by Eight Bit while Masomi Ando will direct it. The first episode set the world for Shy and also introduced the protagonist without any delay. In the upcoming episode, we will get to see Teru’s struggle and what kind of trouble she will get into this time.
If you are a fan of this series looking for updates about the upcoming episode, then you have come to the right place. In this article, we will be talking about the release date of Shy Episode 2, recap the previous episode, and tell our readers where they can watch the anime.
Shy Episode 1: Recap
In the previous episode of Shy, we learn that the world was on the brink of World War III. Because of that, heroes from around the globe joined hands to prevent it from happening. After lots of efforts, the world became peaceful again, and the heroes went back to their countries.
We see that each country has a Hero Representative, and they are responsible for handling domestic and international affairs. We are soon introduced to the protagonist, Teru Momijiyama, who is an average teenage girl. Teru is chosen as the hero representative for Japan even though she is very shy.
After setting the premise of the story, the anime begins with Teru on her way to a hero’s press conference while she looks really nervous. It made all of us wonder if she truly is the hero and the protagonist of the series. When the event began, Teru stammered through the introduction, and the audience did not look impressed.
The audience reacts very coldly to Teru’s awkward speech, but it is broken by the cheers of an enthusiastic fan. The fan was just very happy to see Teru in real life, and his encouragement gave Teru some kind of hope. It shows us that even the smallest kindness can uplift someone.
The event was being held in an amusement park where the roller coaster failed. Even though Teru is having nervous breakdowns on stage, she gets into her hero mode and rushes to save the people on the roller coaster. Even though Shy reacted quickly, the brakes failed, and she couldn’t evacuate all the passengers.
Despite her attempts, one of the civilians gets severely injured. The spectators blamed Teru for her incompetence, and it made Teru doubt if she was even cut out to be a hero. The rest of the episode was mainly about the after-effects of the incident that happened in the amusement park.
