YMMV / Shy

• Awesome Art: Miki Bukimi’s art is incredible to view and its quality is raised tenfold when one realizes that the manga is serialized weekly.
• Awesome Music: "Shiny Girl" by MindaRyn, the OP for the anime adaptation is a rocking, upbeat jam that perfectly captures the hopeful tone of the series.
• Diagnosed by the Audience: Some fans have interpreted Stardust's "heartless hero" persona less as a him being a psychopath and more as someone on the Autism Spectrum who eventually decided to embrace the stereotype that autistic people lack empathy.
• Just Here for Godzilla: A portion of the Western fanbase are Yuri Fans with their Shipping Goggles permanently on.
• Moe: Lots of characters count including Iko, Meng Long and especially Teru/Shy.
  • What makes this ironic is that Miki Bukimi states that they were trying to make a protagonist that was not “too cute or too plain".
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Even In-Universe Meng Long and Thumping are both mistaken for the opposite sex.
