Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! is a light novel series by Ryuto and Tetsuhiro Nabeshima, and it’s also the latest to get an anime adaptation. Kadokawa announced anime plans this week, and while the company will be producing, no further details have been divulged at the time of this writing.
The story first began serialization when Ryuto debuted it on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website back in February 2019. Kadokawa then published the first light novel volume that July. The 14th volume is on the way in just a few days in Japan on February 10.
There’s also a manga adaptation, which Shinichi Matsui launched via ComicWalker in November 2019. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both and describes the story like so:
Reborn as a Space Mercenary Plot
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!
