Milan Records has released the full original anime soundtrack of Ranking of Kings, scored by composer MAYUKO (Cells at Work). It can now be streamed and downloaded on all musical platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music. 

MAYUKO herself is ecstatic to hear that many people will be able to listen to her full musical score. She goes on to say:

“I encountered a wonderful work of art called Ranking of Kings and thought ‘I can make the music for this piece!’ I composed this piece with the feeling that it was the culmination of my life as a musician. Crying to sad songs, dancing to happy songs – a total of 91 tracks created with the characters’ feelings in mind. Along with Bojji’s great adventure, it has been my great adventure. We hope you enjoy every bit of it!”

The full soundtrack contains 91 tracks on three discs. A complete track listing can be found here. 

The anime soundtrack is based on the popular anime series of the same name. WIT STUDIO is handling animation production for the 23-episode anime adaptation of Sousuke Toka’s manga. Funimation licensed and streamed the series as it aired. 

Ranking of Kings was nominated for Best Animation at the 2022 Crunchyroll Awards. Lead protagonist Bojji also won their Best Boy award. 

Ranking of Kings is described as:

The people of the kingdom look down on the young Prince Bojji, who can neither hear nor speak. They call him “The Useless Prince” while jeering at his supposed foolishness. 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 in the Ranking of Kings. But Bojji was born unable to hear and is so powerless that he can’t even swing a sword. In consequence, not only his own retainers, but also the public, look down upon him as completely unfit to be king. It is then that Bojji finds his first friend, Kage. His fateful encounter with Kage ignites a tiny spark of courage, and Bojji’s life takes a dramatic turn…
