Description
From Yen Press:
Cid Kagenou has a dream. Not of being some typical protagonist or the Final Boss-he has his eyes set on becoming a hidden mastermind working in the shadows. Now that he’s been reborn in another world, Cid has been hard at work building the perfect stage to act out his long-desired role.
The only issue? His imaginary adversaries and plot devices seem to actually exist in this new realm and he alone is left in the dark.

Give it a chance, it truly is one of the funniest manga's I have ever read.
Agreed. This is a really engaging and funny series. The series doesn't take itself too seriously and pokes fun at the genre and itself with great comedic timing.
One of the better writers and series.

Oh my god. Where do I even begin with this story… I'm gonna be talking about the LN in addition to the manga with this review because they are both great and the manga follows closely enough.
First off, it is super hilarious. It is like a way more silly Overlord. It follows a guy who is SO disillusioned by his Chuunibyou-ness that he is brilliant but the DENSEst dude ever. He wants: “To be a Power in the shadows” and is slowly achieving his goal throughout the story. Because he is a chuunibyou he makes up a story about the revival of the demon king. This turns out to be true, however, he just thinks that everyone is also being a chuunibyou with him and doesn't ever realize. He's also one of the most powerful beings ever but doesn't brag about it, instead, he uses it to put himself in situations that he thinks is “cool” while we the reader laugh and cringe. The characters are all likable and there is some great action too. 10/10 I hope this gets an anime.

Imagine a dude all about the mafia underworld grim tough guy aesthetic.
Who was so chunni, that reality started to go along with it.
You now understand what this manga is about.

This is one of the funniest manga I've read in ages!
Mixes OP MC with great, complex story. It's very funny and with an intricate plot that is simply explained in a few chapters. Great stuff, can't wait for more!!

The first two chapters are a cringe-fest with the typical light novel adaptation break neck pace, but chapter 3 shows some promise.
