About
Reborn as a Space Mercenary
Born from
the light novels created by Ryuto and illustrated by Tetsuhiro
Nabeshima, the story began its original publication on the Shosetsuka ni
Naro portal in February 2019, making the leap to paper under the imprint of the
Kadokawa publishing house and also adding a manga adaptation illustrated by
Shinichi Matsui. The plot follows in the footsteps of Satou Takahiro, an
ordinary young man who is transported to the universe of his favorite ship
video game. Reincarnated as the mercenary Hiro, the protagonist decides to
enjoy his new life to the fullest by traveling between space colonies, facing
cosmic pirates and saving the day aboard a cool ship with his companions.
