Comments of Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute

I came here after watching the two seasons of the anime. Hope there's a new season soon too.


The anime is not based on Manga but Light Novel Version. That's why the animation style is not same as Manga but accurate as LN illustration of Lord Shadow. The Eminence in Shadow got Anime adaptation because of the Light Novel and not Manga version. The reason why you see there are differences between Anime and Manga because it cover mostly from Light Novel. So far, the season is up to Volume 3. From Volume 4 and onwards, the Light Novel will differ from it's Web Novel version. In LN, Cid was adaptational heroism where he maintains his idiot hero persona while in WN, his actions during the Great Trading Company received many criticisms from Readers. Thus, it is unsure which Direction, Manga will take on. Latest Volume is 7 in Japan. I read up to Vol 6 (Jack Ripper Arc).

Chuuni mc is always funny

Great heroes and diabolical villains are the types of characters that people long to be—but not Cid Kagenou. He longs to become the true mastermind behind it all, pulling the strings, and having his machinations drive the entire story. In his previous life in modern-day Japan, he was not able to achieve his goals. But now, reborn into a world of magic, he will show the true eminence of shadow!

As Cid pretends to be just another average mob character, he recruits members to his (fake) organization Shadow Garden, aiming to take down the mysterious cult who lurks in the shadows. With plenty of ad-libs, Cid leads his (fake) organization against the foul (yet surprisingly real) Diabolos Cult.
