Ranking of Kings and the Journey of Going Against All Odds
In case you’re unfamiliar, Ranking of Kings is an anime series by Wit Studio, the anime studio behind hits such as the first three seasons of Attack on Titan, as well as Spy x Family (which they worked on alongside CloverWorks). The anime is based on the manga series of the same name by Sosuke Toka, with new chapters being released on the Manga Hack website. It began back in May 2017 and has since gotten over 100 chapters. Ranking of Kings was initially translated and released by BookLive. Though right now, the series is being retranslated due to errors in the initial English version. As for its story, the series is set in a world where a system called the Ranking of Kings selects one of the world’s numerous kings as the best. The number one-ranked king receives a reward from the Divine Treasure Vault which contains untold treasure. The series follows Bojji, a young prince who, despite his small stature and deafness, aims to become the world’s number one king. Bojji soon goes on a quest to gain experience and become a worthy king for his land. In his travels, he meets Kage, a shadow who becomes Bojji’s constant companion.
