Anime Digest

The story centers on a young prince named Bojji who is deaf but, above all, innocent. Despite several complaints from his subjects regarding his ascension to the throne, he tries his best and aspires to become the greatest of monarchs. One day, Bojji encounters Kage (Shadow), a survivor of a slain assassin clan who can comprehend him despite Bojji’s inability to communicate owing to his condition. The plot follows the two characters as they make their way through the world’s adventures and horrors. The death of Bojji’s father, King Bosse, a legendary gigantic warrior once hailed as the world’s most muscular man, serves as the series’ first arc’s inciting incident. King Bosse was a famed giant warrior. However, some members of the royal court think that Bojji’s physical limitations make him unsuitable for the position and that his narcissistic younger half-brother, Prince Daida, is more qualified for the position. Bojji’s right to the kingdom is affirmed by Bosse on his deathbed. Queen Hilling, Bosse’s widow, and Daida’s mother are one of the most vocal opponents, calling for a vote to ignore Bosse’s will and deny Bojji the opportunity to succeed. Daida is seated on the throne when the vote is approved. Bojji asks to be permitted to go on a voyage so that he might gather experience and become stronger after having his birthright rejected. Hilling, who had had a strong bond with Bojji and thought of him as her son, reluctantly agrees. Unknown to them, Daida has started working on a cunning scheme with the help of a mysterious figure in a magical mirror to strengthen his power and rise to the top of the Ranking of Kings

The Feel-Good Part

The characters have a strong foundation. Bojji has faith in him and never loses hope. Additionally, he received some encouragement for his positive behavior. The deeds he does are very adventurous and inspiring.

The Disappointing Factor

The writing style eventually deteriorated, but the rest of the composition made up for it. In the end, some viewers’ attention may decrease.
