The old saying that you can’t judge a book by its cover still holds true when it comes to ‘Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon!’, One look at the title seems to explain it all, but that’s not really the case here.
After its publication in 2016, it gained quite a lot of attention, and within a year, it got published by Kadokawa Shoten.
The story is unique and a fresh take on the typical Isekai genre, making it a must-read manga. If you prefer watching over reading, I have good news for you too.
The official Twitter account for the anime of Hirukuma’s Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon light novel series revealed the anime’s key visual and full promotional video.
