Shironeko Project Zero Chronicle Recap: The Prince of Darkness

This Shironeko Project Zero Chronicle recap follows a boy with nothing, no family, no name that matters, who climbs from the bottom of the Kingdom of Darkness until the throne itself is within reach.

Opposite him stands Iris, the young Queen of Light, trying to hold a fragile balance while her advisors and his ambitions pull the two kingdoms toward war. The anime, based on the popular mobile game, is at its best when the two leaders realize they want the same peace and cannot say so.

The recap covers the rise from servant to prince, the betrayals that harden him, the meetings with Iris that soften him and the final choice between the throne he earned and the world she is trying to save.
