The official website of the Shy 2nd Season television anime revealed two additional cast members and a teaser visual (pictured) on Wednesday. The television anime is set to premiere in July 2024 on TV Tokyo.

Kotori Koiwai (Gatchaman Crowds) and Hitomi Ueda (Chainsaw Man) are joining the cast as Ai Tennouji and Utsuro, respectively.

Masaomi Andou (Kanata no Astra) is returning to direct the television anime at 8bit. Yuuichi Tanaka (Toaru Majutsu no Index) is the main character designer. Risa Takai (Tensura Nikki: Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken) and Akihiro Sueta (Shy) are the character designers. Hinako Tsubakiyama (Sabikui Bisco) is composing the music.

Shy adapts Bukimi Miki's action drama manga, which began as a one-shot that won the Newcomer's Grand Prize in Akita Shoten's Next Champion in 2016. The manga began serializing in Weekly Shounen Champion in August 2019. The 23rd volume went on sale on February 7, with the 24th volume scheduled to be released on May 8.

Yen Press licensed the manga in English in July 2022. The fifth volume was released last December.
