Cid convinces himself that he's just playing around, but everything that he says during his made-up roleplays end up being true. In an ironic twist of fate, the Diablos Cult ends up being quite real and the Shadow Legion actually becomes a massive force to counter them. This grows a little out of hand as his new recruit finds other members and tells them the same story, and the organization begins to branch out rapidly, expanding and accumulating immense influence at an incredible rate.

He then proceeds to cure her with his incredible magic ability and recruits her to his side, so that he might have some fun acting like a mafia boss and pretending to attack hideouts that belong to the cult. When presented with the opportunity, Cid makes up an organization (the Diablos Cult) and convinces a young elf that her illness comes from this cult. Except Cid is actually blessed with superhuman abilities, effectively making him able to use this new isekai world as his personal playground. Basically, he embodies all of our childhood spirits, back when we would make swords out of dry erase markers and pretend to smoke lollipop sticks in an attempt to roleplay as badass antiheroes. His only goal is to become a "master of the shadows," one who pretends to be a mob character but is actually extremely powerful and defends justice as a masked anti-hero. While most protagonists will say something cool in an attempt to make themselves seem badass, Cid will say something cool and then reminisce on how good he felt when he coined that one-liner and mentally store it so he can use it again.Ĭid is a pretty fun character to watch. The best instances of this occur when the main character, Cid, responds to a typical scenario in isekai. In fact, whenever a stereotype shows up in this manga, it intentionally pokes fun at it in various,Ĭreative ways. Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute completely disregards all of these notions. The isekai genre is known for being a hackneyed and predictable genre that has dominated the manga market in an attempt to be the next big thing, but ended up all being different variations of the same blank slate main character, the same harem with the same harem stereotypes, the same backstory and lore, and a plot so simple that one might think they were all written by the same three year-old. Wait a second!!! Cid already knows that I am writing a review about him o.O It is going to be hard for this manga to be unrecognized if this kind of story content keeps on coming) Overall: 9.5 (-0.5 for potential error, but this manga has such a great vibe and start. Even a poor truck-kun has his own role…)Įnjoyment: 10 (If this is less than a 10, then I don’t know why I was on the ground catching my breath) Also, the hot ladies in this manga can’t be unmentioned)Ĭharacters: 10 (Really really well thought out, each character has their own unique attitude and purposes. Lots of Isekai cliches were being used, but turns out to be funny and entertaining regardless)Īrt: 10 (When a person with Chunibyo appears to be so badass and stupid at the same time, you know the skill of this mangaka is legendary. Story: 9 (Very creative moreover, I really love that the story blur past the growing experience section and gets to the main content that the audience wants to see. Even his imaginations and predictions, with no basis of proof or no shreds of evidence, happens to be true as well... Yeah, this manga is about the MC, Cid, “unknowingly” created a secret organization and thought that the world revolves around him when in fact this particular Isekai world DOES revolve around him... Cid believes that the members of his secret organization are acting along with him when in fact what he happens to say or think are actually true. What if all those delusions and imaginations are actually true and the person himself doesn’t even know it?Ī: o.o -> o.O -> O.O -> ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Q: What happens when a person (with symptoms of Chunibyo) talks sh*t randomly and say something imaginary to act cool? Not an Isekai trash/ Chunibyo to the MAX/ Dark Comedyīefore I read this manga, I thought this is just another normal Isekai or Isekai trash with harem… little would I know, after reading 8 chapters, that this manga is currently sitting at one of the top of my “must follow” list.īefore you read this manga, Cid knows that you will enjoy this manga because he has already "envisioned" it.
