The series is set for an October release date as of now. In addition, the official website also released a new promotional teaser that focused on each of the notable characters. 

The short teaser gives us a quick view of the protagonist Bodge and his shadow companion Kage.

The artstyle is very kid-friendly and topsy-turvey, which is unexpected from a studio that used to animate mountains of exposed human flesh.

Ousama Ranking follows Bodge on his journey to becoming the King, all the while; everyone ridicules him because of his disability.

The most pulling part of the story is Bodge’s difficulty in communication, which leads to the most heart-wrenching situations.

Combined with a medieval setting, court intrigue, and a loveable hero, the anime is sure to touch your heart.

About Ousama Ranking

Ōsama Ranking is a Japanese comedy manga series by Sōsuke Tōka. It has been serialized online via Echoes’ user-submitted Manga Hack website since May 2017. An anime television series adaptation by Wit Studio will premiere in October 2021.

The story 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, a literal shadow on the ground who somehow understands Bojji well.

The story follows Bojji’s coming-of-age as he meets various people in his life, starting with his fateful encounter with Kage.
