Synopsis of Reborn as a Vending Machine
A vending machine fan meets his death when he is ironically crushed by a vending machine. Much to his misfortune, he is reincarnated into a vending machine in another world. After resurfacing in a forest inhabited by frogmen and other monsters, and with only two products, the Boxxo vending machine needs coins to stay supplied, fueled, and upgraded with new abilities.
Luckily, the automaton is rescued by a young woman who quickly realizes that it is sentient and takes it to a human settlement. From then on, the strange piece of machinery makes a place for itself in the world around it, gaining numerous allies along the way despite being totally incapable of speaking or moving and communicating only by playing pre-recorded phrases from the Vending machine.
