Sinopsis of The Eminence in Shadow
For as long as he can remember, Minoru Kagenou has been
obsessed with becoming as strong as possible, which has led him to undergo all
kinds of rigorous training. However, this desire is not born from the desire to
be recognized by others, but rather Minoru does his best to blend in with the
crowd. So, while during the day he pretends to be an ordinary student, at night
he arms himself with a crowbar and mercilessly beats up the local biker gangs.
However, when Minoru suffers a truck accident, his ambitions seem to suddenly
end. In his final moments, he laments his helplessness: no matter how hard he
trained, there was nothing he could do to overcome his human limitations.
But instead of dying, Minoru awakens as Cid, the second
son of the noble Kagenou family, in another world where magic is commonplace.
With the power he so desired finally within his reach, he calls himself
“Shadow” and founds Shadow Garden: a group whose sole purpose is to combat the
enigmatic Cult of Devils, an organization born from Cid's imagination. However,
as Shadow Garden grows in both membership and influence, it becomes
increasingly apparent that the Devil Cult is not as fictional as Cid intended.
