The live-streamed Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) is producing the animation, and Thursday's event debuted a teaser visual:
The tagline on the visual reads, "A smidgen of courage will change the world."
The web manga centers around Bojji, 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."
Bojji is able to make his first ever friend, "Kage" (shadow) — a literal shadow on the ground who somehow understands Bojji well. (Kage is a survivor of the Kage assassin clan that was all but wiped out. No longer a killer, Kage now makes ends meet by stealing.) The story follows Bojji's coming-of-age as he meets various people in his life, starting with his fateful encounter with Kage.
Tōka has been serializing the manga on the -submitted manga website Manga Hack and other venues since May 2017. Kadokawa published the eighth compiled book volume in August.
