Plot
Bojji is a deaf, powerless prince who cannot even wield a children's sword. As the firstborn prince of the Bosse Kingdom, he strives hard and dreams of becoming the world's greatest king. However, the people of the Bosse Kingdom mutter behind his back, calling him a "good-for-nothing prince" and saying there's, "no way he can be king."

Things start to change for Bojji when he makes his first ever friend, Kage - a strange little shadow on the ground who can somehow understand Bojji well. Kage, the last survivor of an infamous assassin clan, grew up isolated as well. Follow Bojji's coming-of-age as he meets new friends and begins his journey to become a King!
