Yo ngl but the Shadow Eminence as he calls it is one of my favorite clichés too. Call me edgy, but the guy who operates from the shadows is more interesting than Mr. Hero.
Also ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA hehe he said the JoJo reference.
A question for people who are rereading this manga only
do you think the shadow at the last panel is some kind of god that makes the protagonist's fantasies a reality because everything he says becomes so, what do you think?
Honestly only an anime can make the MC pull out a random ass backstory out his ass that was 100% accurate, and I say this because I already know that's where this is going.
