Synopsis

Bojji is a deaf, powerless prince who cannot even wield a children’s sword. As the firstborn son, he strives hard and dreams of becoming the world’s greatest king. However, people mutter about him behind his back as “a good-for-nothing prince” and “no way he can be king.”

It follows Bojji’s coming-of-age as he meets various people in his life, starting with his fateful encounter with Kage, a literal shadow on the ground who somehow understands Bojji well.
