Excellence in the dark (Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!) is a Japanese light novel series by Daisuke Aizawa. Enterbrain has been publishing it with illustrations by Tozai since 2018 and currently has 5 volumes in circulation. Yen Press licensed the light novel series in English. The anime is currently adapting its 3rd episode and the summary is as follows:
Deep within the Lawless City lies the Blood Queen, an Ancestor Vampire, sleeping in her coffin for many moons. An expert at getting himself into trouble, Cid should have known better than to go after her…but he longed to be part of the action. It’s time for him to shed his daytime persona to take on the role of Shadow! However, it seems he is not the only one with this idea. Soon, he finds the three rulers of the Lawless City – the Tyrant Juggernaut, the Soul Fox Yukime, and the vampire Crimson – all on his tail. To make things even more complicated, the Dark Garden appears as the moment of the Blood Queen’s awakening draws closer…
