The Saintess in his Shadow

Aiko Fujimoto spent her first life waiting for her isekai moment.

She had the tragic backstory. The obsessive amount of anime knowledge. She even had a mysterious blue screen.

Unfortunately, the stupid thing did nothing but keep track of how much fiction she consumed.

Then Aiko died.

And woke up in a world of magic, monsters, possessed girls, corrupt churches, secret cults-and one completely insane boy determined to become the Eminence in Shadow.

Perfect.

Cid Kagenou has dedicated his existence to becoming the ultimate mastermind lurking in the darkness.

Aiko has a dream of her own.

She is going to become the **SSS-Class Saintess**.

There's just one tiny problem.

The Church is evil.

So, naturally, it has to go.

While Shadow builds his legend from the darkness, Aiko begins building hers beneath the light-and somewhere between two ridiculous dreams that become terrifyingly real, the Eminence in Shadow finally meets the one person this world never prepared him for.

His Equal.
