I’ve not seen Ranking of Kings, an anime that seems to cross fantasy with Tintin-style(ish) art, but everyone I’ve spoken to who knows the series speaks highly of it.
Soon, Ranking of Kings: Treasure Chest of Courage hits the screen in Japan.
The Ranking of Kings anime, based on Sosuke Toka’s manga, is directed by Yosuke Hatta, with Taku Kishimoto on series composition, Atsuko Nozaki on character designs, and MAYUKO on music.
How prosperous your nation is, how many powerful warriors it boasts, and how heroic and strong its king is. These are the criteria that factor into the system known as the Ranking of Kings.
The main character, Bojji, was born the first prince of the kingdom ruled by King Bossu, who is ranked number seven.
But Bojji was born unable to hear and is so powerless that he can’t even swing a sword. In consequence, his own retainers and the public, look down upon him as completely unfit to be king.
It is then that Bojji finds his first friend, Kage, and Bojji’s life takes a dramatic turn…
Crunchyroll streamed the first reason and will likely pick up Ranking of Kings: Treasure Chest of Courage.
