This anime series is set in a world where superheroes were created shortly before a possible Third World War. The war was stopped and the heroes returned to their home countries. The Japanese hero is Teru Momijiyama; a fourteen year old school girl whose superhero identity is 'Shy'... a name she lives up to. After an early set back she must overcome her social difficulties. She is helped by her friend, the Russian Hero 'Spirit'. As the series progresses a villain, 'Stigma', is introduced.
I thought this was a fun little series. It was interesting to have a protagonist who was both painfully shy and a superhero. Teru is a likeable character, one can't help caring about her and hoping she will prevail. The secondary characters are also solid. There is some exciting action and the animation is good, as are the character designs. The finale episode of the first, and at this point only, season nicely sets things up for a second season. Overall an enjoyable series; I'll be watching the second season when it is released.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
