One of the most popular contemporary isekai franchises, The Eminence in Shadow, began as a well-liked light novel series, as is typical of this subgenre.
The Eminence in Shadow’s first anime adaptation debuted in Japan in October 2022, and HIDIVE swiftly obtained a license to stream it internationally. A teaser trailer and the announcement of a second season were released in February 2023.
A manga version of The Eminence in Shadow, created by Anri Sakano and published by Kadokawa, was written by Daisuke Aizawa and illustrated by Tzai. By never taking itself too seriously, the series innovates the bloated isekai landscape in the simplest way imaginable.

Cid Kageno, the protagonist of The Eminence in Shadow, is the stereotypically overpowering and emotionless isekai protagonist—with one major exception: he doesn’t want to be one.
Cid’s only ambition is to become the “Eminence in Shadow,” the enigmatic, dominant figure who controls events behind the scenes.
Cid takes a lot of effort into creating this humorous persona and must perform daily as a weak “mob” character to accomplish it. The Eminence in Shadow’s Season 1 received much positive feedback, and fans have high hopes for Season 2.
