Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon (Japanese: 自動販売機に生まれ変わった俺は迷宮を彷徨う, Hepburn: Jidōhanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyū o Samayō) is a Japanese light novel series written by Hirukuma and illustrated by Itsuwa Kato (original edition) and Yūki Hagure (revised edition). The series was originally published in 2016 as a web novel on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō. Later, Kadokawa Shoten acquired the series and published it as a light novel. A manga adaptation by Kunieda began serialization in ASCII Media Works's shōnen manga magazine Dengeki Daioh. Both the light novel and manga have been licensed in English by Yen Press. An anime television series adaptation by Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ aired from July to September 2023. A second season has been announced. The story follows a Japanese vending machine otaku who dies after being crushed by a falling vending machine, and is reincarnated as a sentient vending machine in a fantasy dungeon world. Shortly after, he meets a young female hunter named Lammis, who names him "Boxxo" and starts carrying him around on her back, and the two embark on adventures together. The series has been well received for its unique take on the isekai genre.
