Synopsis

Ever since he was a child, he wanted to become a shadowbroker, a person who operates in the shadows. He trained up his body, doing practically everything possible in the world, until one day on one of his training sessions, he encountered magic. However, this was not magic and was in fact, the headlights of a car. And so, he died. Even after reincarnating, the boy, now the son of a noble, Cid Kagenou, wanted to achieve his dreams. After rescuing a girl, Cid creates an elaborate plot about how he was the leader of an ancient organization, sworn to fight the Cult of Diabolos, so as to prevent said cult from resurrecting Diabolos. The girl swears her allegiance to Cid and so, he builds his organization, the Shadow Garden. Little does he know that his eighth-grader syndrome-induced story has actual basis in the world.

Community Reviews

Viewers are captivated by 'The Eminence in Shadow' for its fast-paced storyline and the intriguingly overpowered main character, Cid, who single-handedly drives the narrative with his shadowy theatrics. The series blends dark fantasy and comedy within an isekai framework, keeping audiences eager for more with each episode. While the plot sometimes races ahead, leaving some details in the dust, the overall reception is highly positive, with fans looking forward to future seasons and adaptations.

👍 Cid's character is a standout, captivating viewers.

👎 Occasional over-sexualization may be off-putting.
