The official website of the television anime adaptation of Daisuke Aizawa's Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! (The Eminence in Shadow) light novel revealed on Sunday additional cast and a second promotional video for the second season. The new season is scheduled to premiere in October 2023.

Kazuya Nakanishi (Comic Girls assistant director) returns to direct the season at Nexus. Kanichi Katou (Mashiro no Oto) is handling the series composition and Makoto Iino (Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari) is designing the characters. Kenichiro Suehiro (Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu) is composing the music.

Aizawa launched the comedy fantasy story on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in May 2018. Kadokawa began publishing the series through its Enterbrain label with illustrations by Touzai in November of that year and released the fifth volume on December 28.

Can't wait for this now either. Still this is the kind of Anime I like to binge. So I won't watch it till it's finished airing. I just wish we get more Mundane Man that character made the show for me. lol but I guess I will settle for Perv Asshat.

It's an adaptation of LN, but there are so many characters that it could very well be an unintentional all-star cast, if it isn't already.
