- He/Him
This was announced before, but now we have a trailer:
Our protagonist Sid gets reincarnated in a fantasy world where magic is real and decides to fulfill his dream of becoming The Eminence in Shadow, a cool and mysterious stranger who fights for justice. He rescues several cursed young women and tells them the truth of the world: there is a cult interested in reviving the Demon Lord who has cursed all of the descendants of the Hero and controls the world from the shadows. Together they form Shadow Garden, a society who dwells in the shadows to hunt the shadows.
...except all of that is bullshit Sid made up because he thinks it sounds cool. Sid is only interested in playing out his fantasies of being a masked mysterious badass who's secret identity is an unassuming mob character. Sid spents his time doing whatever he thinks will look dope as hell, like posing enigmatically on a rooftop and spouting some cryptic line. His made-up story is just a backdrop to his own delusional fantasies.
...except the story isn't fake, it is all totally real. Enjoy a story of a ignorant protagonist who is surrounded by followers who are all in the know and completely serious as he accidentally saves the world from destruction. And looks good doing it.
Any thread about this series wouldn't be complete without the most famous example of Our Fine Hero in action from the manga adaptation:
