Synopsis of The Eminence in Shadow
Since he was a child, Minoru Kagenou has been obsessed with becoming as strong as possible, leading him to undergo all kinds of rigorous training. However, this desire does not stem from the will to be recognized by others, but rather Minoru does everything possible to blend in with the crowd. Thus, while during the day he pretends to be a normal student, at night he arms himself with a crowbar and mercilessly beats up local biker gangs. However, when Minoru suffers a truck accident, his ambitions seem to end abruptly. In his last moments, he laments his powerlessness: no matter how much he trained, there was nothing he could do to overcome his human limitations.
But instead of dying, Minoru wakes up as Cid, the second son of the noble Kagenou family, in another world where magic is commonplace. With the power he always wanted finally within reach, he calls himself “Shadow” and founds Shadow Garden: a group whose sole purpose is to fight against the enigmatic Cult of Devils, an organization born from the imagination of Cid. However, as Shadow Garden grows both in number of members and influence, it becomes increasingly evident that the Cult of Devils is not as fictitious as Cid intended.
