Genre: Shonen, Action/Adventure, Comedy/Fantasy (isekai)

synopsis:

In The Eminence in Shadow, the story follows the extraordinary adventures of Minoru Kagenou, a young man obsessed with becoming extremely powerful. This quest for strength, far from being a search for recognition, leads him to lead a double life: an ordinary student by day, a ruthless fighter against biker gangs by night with only an iron bar as his weapon.

Minoru's life takes a dramatic turn when he is involved in a truck accident. In his final moments, he laments his powerlessness in the face of the limits of the human condition. However, instead of dying, Minoru awakens in another world as Cid, the second son of the noble Kagenou family, in a world where magic reigns.

With the powers he's always wanted at his fingertips, he adopts the alias "Shadow" and founds the organization Shadow Garden. The organization's initial goal is to combat the Cult of Diablos, a mysterious entity from Cid's imagination. What started as child's play quickly becomes a tangible reality.

As Shadow Garden grows in membership and influence, Cid discovers that the Cult of Diablos, which he thought was pure fiction, may have roots in the reality of this new world. This revelation drags him into a whirlwind of unexpected events and confrontations with dark forces.
