The Eminence in Shadow Story
Published under the Enterbrain imprint, the light novels served as the basis for both a manga spin-off by Seta U and a manga series by Anri Sakano.
The first season of The Eminence in Shadow debuted on October 5, 2022, and consisted of 20 episodes. The anime is based on the isekai light novel series by Daisuke Aizawa, published by Kadokawa with drawings by Azunishi. The series started in 2018 and will have five volumes by December 2022.
Yen Press characterizes the first volume of the light novels as:
Some actors simply lack the ability to portray the flamboyant, outspoken hero or the cunning, mustache-waving villain with a larger-than-life style. Instead, they sneak around and manipulate society with their cunning and wit.
As Cid is sent to a new realm, he wishes to take on that position. Cid tells a few fantastic tales and unexpectedly rises to the position of commander of the shadowy Shadow Garden group, which battles a evil cult (which he totally made up).
The cult he invented truly exists, and they are beyond angry that his power fantasy just got in the way of their nefarious intentions! But there’s a catch that even his wild imagination didn’t see coming.
