The web manga centers around Bojji, a deaf, powerless prince who cannot even wield a children's sword. As the firstborn son, he strives hard and dreams of becoming the world's greatest king. However, people mutter about him behind his back as "a good-for-nothing prince" and "no way he can be king." Bojji is able to make his first ever friend, "Kage" (shadow)—a literal shadow on the ground who somehow understands Bojji well. (Kage is a survivor of the Kage assassin clan that was all but wiped out. No longer a killer, Kage now makes ends meet by stealing.) The story follows Bojji's coming-of-age as he meets various people in his life, starting with his fateful encounter with Kage. (Source: MAL News)

Not2Bad

This is going to hit peak levels of “feels”. Im in love with the style and the storytelling. I am excited to see this through till the end!

Coles_Work

A cute-as-heck story with charming visuals and impressive overall quality. It’s like a Ghibli movie, but without Studio Ghibli!

ANIMEHOLIC

Just like Odd Taxi, the art style doesn’t really suit everyones taste, but story-wise always becomes the hidden gem of the season.

TehRei

Ousama Ranking wears its unique charm like Bojji wears his crown; bravely, full of heart, and free of any pretension.

SkullyRokusa

Despite the simplistic style, in just a couple episodes it shows great characters with multitude of layers. It is heartwarming but intense.
