Ranking of Kings summary: The focus of the web manga revolves around Bojji, a prince who is powerless and deaf. He is unable to even handle a children's sword, yet he strives to be the greatest king in the world as the firstborn son. However, people criticize him behind his back, referring to him as a "useless prince" and claiming he could never be king. Bojji's first-ever friend is "Kage," a literal shadow on the ground who seems to understand him well. Kage comes from the Kage assassin clan, which was nearly destroyed. Having abandoned killing, Kage currently survives through stealing. The narrative follows Bojji's journey to adulthood, including his encounter with Kage, and his interactions with a diverse cast of people.
