Plot: The people of the kingdom look down on the young Prince Bojji, who can neither hear nor speak. They call him "The Useless Prince" while jeering at his supposed foolishness.

However, while Bojji may not be physically strong, he is certainly not weak of heart. When a chance encounter with a shadow creature should have left him traumatized, it instead makes him believe that he has found a friend amidst those who only choose to notice his shortcomings. He starts meeting with Kage, the shadow, regularly, to the point where even the otherwise abrasive creature begins to warm up to him.

Kage and Bojji's unlikely friendship lays the budding foundations of the prince's journey, one where he intends to conquer his fears and insecurities. Despite the constant ridicule he faces, Bojji resolves to fulfill his desire of becoming the best king he can be.

User Review: Perfection is and will always be subjective; but to me, the beginning of Ousama Ranking is pure perfection. That’s the reason I’ve written my first preliminary review, just to tell you guys and to remember how amazing my first experience with Ousama Ranking was. Please note that my score may change in the future, but I am reviewing episodes 1 to 6 – and it’s a solid 10.

For starters, let me make it clear; Ousama Ranking takes place in a medieval-looking world and looks like a fairytale. It is full of colours; green, blue, yellow, light brown. I think it’s adorable-looking and what we’d call the epitome of wholesomeness. That’s the reason some people compare it to Disney or Studio Ghibli – not me, anyway. To me, it’s a unique story with a unique execution, so far. It also has its dark side and there are always uncomfortable events happening, hindering the protagonists’ journey. I cannot describe the way evil is portrayed in this anime - the use of evil figures is mysterious, and there are always good-willed people that end up making evil deeds as well. But what makes this fairytale special is the feeling of hope it radiates, as well as assurance that there will be joy, love and positive or meaningful outcomes as the story proceeds.
