Ousama Ranking

Bojji is a deaf and 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.
