Daisuke Aizawa's The Eminence in Shadow light novels revealed on Monday that its sixth volume will get a manga adaptation based on the Nanakage Retsuden (Biography of the Seven Shades) story from the mobile game Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! Master of Garden (The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden).
The roleplaying game was released for the Android, iOS, and PC in November 22, and it features detailed 3D animations, anime cutscenes, with its story spotlighting characters with memorable scenes from The Eminence in Shadow anime and untold events from the light novels.
The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 premiered on October 4, and it will consist of 12 episodes. HIDIVE is streaming the anime, and same-day English dub is also available with the release of new episodes. Earlier this year, Kadokawa and HIDIVE held a world premiere screening for Season 2 at Anime Expo on July 1. Studio Nexus returned to produce the anime with the main staff returning. Currently, there are five episodes of Season 2 available to stream on HIDIVE.
The opening theme song of The Eminence in Shadow Season 2, titled grayscale dominator, is performed by the music duo OxT.
What is The Eminence in Shadow about?
The isekai anime is based on The Eminence in Shadow (Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!) Japanese light novel series by Daisuke Aizawa. Enterbrain has been publishing the series with Tozai's illustrations since 2018. HIDIVE shared a description for its story:
Some people just aren't suited to playing the part of the flashy, in-your-face hero or the dastardly, mustache-twirling villain with larger-than-life panache. Instead, they operate in the shadows and pull the strings of society through wit and cleverness. That's the role Cid wants to play when he's transported to another world. Cid spins a yarn or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization that fights against a menacing cult (which he totally made up). However, there's a catch even his wild imagination didn't see coming: the cult he concocted actually exists, and they're beyond displeased that his power fantasy just got in the way of their evil plans!
The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Episode 6 is scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, November 8. Epicflix will share the previews for the upcoming episode soon, so stay tuned!
