The official website for The Eminence in Shadow has revealed that a second season is already in the works. Based on the ongoing light novel series written by Daisuke Aizawa and illustrated by Tōzai, the 20-episode Fall 2022 TV anime surprised everyone to quickly become a fan favorite.
Studio Nexus delivered jaw-dropping animation for a unique spin on the isekai genre that upped the stakes from week-to-week. The curent staff are also expected to return for the second season, however, there's no confirmed release date just yet.
In terms of the source material, the anime has covered the first 2 volumes of the light novel series. There's also an ongoing manga adaptation from Aizawa and artist Anri Sakano which has released 10 volumes to date. The anime covers the first 6 volumes of the manga.
Yen Press holds the English language distribution license for the series and has released the first four volumes of the light novel and the first 5 volumes of the manga.
Hopefully fans won't have to wait too long for The Eminence in Shadow season 2 but keep it locked to AnimeMojo for future updates.
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!
