Bandai Namco must have been completely satisfied with how popular Iruma-kun was that they must’ve sought more Akita Shoten manga. I’m glad they chose this one and with 8-bit too? I can’t wait till it airs.

From what I remember this is absolutely not like Iruma-kun, though. Not even the same target audience… It has cute girls so I’m sure it’s going to do well, though.
(Still, I have to question the wisdom of pushing a story that heavily features exaggerated national stereotypes, in today’s general… uh… state of affairs.)

Obviously, people are gonna see what SHY is all about and immediately compare it to MHA, but it’s such a different superhero series than that. Way different in tone.

They’re both in the same magazine. Yes two things that are wildly different in tone, storytelling, and audience can coexist in the same magazine. Kubo-san runs in the same magazine as Oshi no Ko for example.

Oh wow, really? You don’t say. I would’ve never thought this was even possible. I never read any manga magazines. Yes, I’m being sarcastic right now.
Anyway, I was trying to point out that this manga is completely unlike Iruma-kun, and that “Iruma-kun is doing well, let’s adapt Shy!” is not exactly a natural flow of logic.

I can tell. What went on in my mind was the idea that a producer associated with Bandai Namco’s production of Iruma-kun would go to Weekly Shonen Champion’s offices and asked their editors-in chief which of their ongoing series is popular, despite it not having an anime, and that would lead them to Shy and the rest is history.
Edit: I just took a look into the Iruma-kun anime entry on the encyclopedia, and it seems I was way off on this one. Bandai Namco Pictures may be credited for animation production, but their parent company Bandai Namco isn’t credited for production.
So my hypothesis is now BS.
