Eminence in Shadow (Japanese: Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!) is a light novel series by Daisuke Aizawa with illustrations by Touzai, adapted into manga and anime. It follows Cid Kagenou, an ordinary boy reborn into a fantasy world who secretly trains to become a mastermind crime-fighter (“Shadow”) while posing as an unremarkable noble. He cultivates an elaborate secret organization (the Shadow Garden) and, through comedic coincidence, his made-up conspiracies turn out to be true. Eminence In Shadow Manga
