An anime adaptation of the Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! light novel series is being developed, the KADOKAWA Books editorial department’s X (formerly Twitter) account has revealed.
The Ryuto-written and Tetsuhiro Nabeshima-illustrated series started in July 2019 and will release its 14th volume on February 10 JST. Seven Seas describes the premise as:
When Satou Takahiro is swept away from his ordinary life into the world of his favorite video game, a universe of space battles, interstellar colonies, and danger in the vastness of outer space awaits. Soon, he’s living as “Hiro” the mercenary, with a tricked-out spaceship and a babe on each arm! There are space pirates to fight, girls to rescue, and trouble to get into (and hopefully out of). Hiro is going to live his new life to the fullest!
Reborn as a Space Mercenary was first a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel, debuting in February 2019. The light novels have a manga adaptation.
