Also known as: Ousama Ranking, 王様ランキング, おうさまランキング, Ōsama Ranking, King Ranking, 國王排名
by Sousuke Touka, Studio Charon
Prince Bojji is the eldest son of a king. But while both his parents are giants, he himself is a pipsqueak too feeble to so much as swing a dagger. To make matters worse, the whole kingdom gossips that the deaf, non-speaking Bojji is unfit to inherit the throne. The prince's days seem empty. But when a chance meeting unites Bojji with Kage, a new friend who truly understands him, his life begins to shine. (Source: BookWalker)

Ranking of Kings introduces Prince Bojji, the eldest son of a king. Both of his parents are giants, but he is a pipsqueak too feeble to swing a dagger, and he is deaf and non-speaking. The kingdom gossips that he is unfit to inherit the throne, and his days feel empty. Then a chance meeting unites him with Kage, a new friend who truly understands him. The premise is a warm, hopeful story about being seen for who you are.The series is most affecting in the bond between Bojji and Kage. Their friendship grows through patience and understanding, and the fantasy world gives the story a rich, adventurous backdrop. Bojji's determination makes him a deeply sympathetic lead.The weaknesses are some slow plot threads and bullying themes that weigh heavily in places. Readers who enjoy warm, character-driven fantasy will find a rewarding read. Those wanting pure action may find it gentle, though its heart is strong.
