For those unfamiliar with the series: The Eminence in Shadow tells the story of Cid, a master manipulator who pulls the strings of society from behind the scenes with his quick wit and intelligence. After being transported to another world, Cid takes on the role of the leader of the underground organization Shadow Garden, which fights against a menacing cult. The only problem is that the cult he invented actually exists—and they’re not exactly pleased with his interference.
The series premiered in October 2022 and concluded its first season on February 15.
