Ousama Ranking / Ranking of the Kings plot
The young Prince Bojji is looked down upon by his own people in the kingdom since he can neither speak nor hear. They even dubbed him “Useless Prince” for this very reason.
One fateful day, he encountered a shadow creature. While the young Prince should have had a bad interaction with Kage, the shadow, he ended up befriending him. This was an odd situation for him since he was able to befriend someone when people only chose to observe his flaws and shortcomings.
Bojji visited Kage regularly, so much so that other creatures also warmed up to him. This odd friendship led to Bojji embarking on a journey where he conquers his deep-rooted insecurities and proves to his people that he indeed is a good King who is strong at heart.
