Story:
A middle-aged man with only one passion in his life meets a fitting end in a traffic accident. That’s where most stories would end, but instead, this is when his story begins when he’s reborn as what he admired the most in life–a vending machine! But his new lease on life(?) happens in the worst place possible–what can a vending machine do in a monster-infested dungeon when he can’t speak or even move on his own?
The story of Hirukuma was initially serialized on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website by the author from March to December 2016. Additional epilogue stories were serialized from January to February 2017. Kadokawa’s Sneaker Bunko then began publishing the novels in print editions, featuring illustrations by Itsuwa Katō, starting with the first volume in July 2016. The third and final volume was released in February 2017.
In August 2021, a manga adaptation of the novels was launched by Kunieda in Kadokawa’s Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh magazine. Yen Press has announced that they will be releasing the manga digitally at the same time as the chapters debut in Japan. This will allow fans worldwide to follow the manga as it releases in Japan.
