The series has been serialized in Akita Shoten's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Champion since August 2019. As of October 2023, it has been collected into twenty-one tankōbon volumes. An anime television series adaptation produced by Eight Bit premiered in October 2023. The story follows Teru Momijiyama as the Japanese hero Shy as she fights alongside the heroes of Earth to ward off evil and keep world peace, all while learning to control her severe shyness and to deal with the fears and uncertainties that come with being a hero. She is accompanied by fellow hero colleagues: Stardust, Century, Lady Black, Mian Long, and her closest friend and mentor, Spirit. Synopsis Setting As the world was on the brink of a Third World War, superheroes appeared around the globe to restore order and bring about a new era of world peace. After the threat of war ended, each hero returned to a country to help with domestic matters, where they were quickly accepted by their respective citizens. To better communicate with each other, all heroes meet at , a space station used to oversee and discuss matters back on Earth. Much of the power and story in Shy deals with people and their "heart", which is either protected by the heroes or manipulated by the villains. Every hero is equipped with a pair of that allow them to transform their appearance from civilian to hero and communicate with others in any language. When a hero syncs their heart with the bracelets, they become the source of each hero's power and abilities by storing "Heart Power" for use when seen fit. The stronger one's conviction and determination is, the more powerful one can become. If a hero's Heart Power runs out, they return to their civilian form. On the other hand, the villains can manipulate a heart by forcing a person to wear a special type of ring, which are connected back to their leader, as a result of the rings being made from parts of his heart. These rings have the power to draw out the deepest, most extreme feelings in one's heart, which can manifest as black crystals on their body. This kind of heart also has the ability to create a domain of a variable size, like a personal utopia.

“Narrated 'Aisha: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! A virgin feels shy." He said, "Her consent is (expressed by) her silence."”
— Aisha, Sahih Bukhari 7:62:68
“He was not handsome, and his manners required intimacy to make them pleasing. He was too diffident to do justice to himself; but when his natural shyness was overcome, his behaviour gave every indication of an open, affectionate heart.”
— Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility (1811).
“At the time, I believed that shyness was very important, but now I know that shyness is one of the evils one must try to overcome, that in reality to be shy doesn't matter—it is like so many other things to which one gives an exaggerated importance.”
— Jorge Luis Borges, Seven Nights (1980). English translation by Eliot Weinberger
“He's not an asshole, he's just shy. I think you have shy/asshole confusion, my friend.”
— in Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 2, Episode 6 (2001).
“The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous.”
— Jerome K. Jerome, "On Being Shy", in Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886).
“Shyness is just egotism out of its depth.”
— (b. 1939), British actress. Daily Mail (UK) newspaper, 27th June 1988.
