＜INTRODUCTION
My name is Shadow. One who lurks in the shadows and hunts the shadows. ......

The "master of the shadows."
It is neither the main character nor the last boss.
It is an existence that usually hides its ability and is devoted to being a mobster, intervening in the story from the shadows and showing its ability in secret.
The boy who longed to be this "powerful person in the shadows" and trained for power while living inconspicuously as a mobster, lost his life in an accident and was reborn in a different world.

Reincarnated as Sid Kagenow, the boy takes advantage of his rebirth and decides to enjoy the "powerful man in the shadows" setting in another world.
He was working in the dark (as a joke) to defeat the "cult of darkness" that he had created in his "fantasy," but it seems that the "cult of darkness" really exists, and that it is ......?

The girls who were under his command in a flirtatious manner worshipped Cid as Shadow due to a misunderstanding, and Cid became a real "shadow powerhouse" without his knowledge.

The strongest protagonist x overwhelmingly chunibyo x misunderstood serious comedy!
The popular series, which has sold over 1.5 million copies in total, will be broadcast as a TV anime in 2022!
