Synopsis of SHY
Just as the planet was approaching its third world war, super-powered individuals from around the world appeared to keep the peace. They became the symbols of their respective nations, fighting to limit crime and bring evildoers to justice. Teru “Shy” Momijiyama is Japan’s representative in the world of heroes. When a mysterious threat called Amalareiks emerges, Shy must team up with his fellow heroes to stop them at all costs.
