## Synopsis

Sato Takahiro knows spaceships through his gaming hobby, until he wakes inside one himself. The former office worker recognises a resemblance to a vessel from his favourite space shooter, but being aboard it puts him in a very different position from sitting at a screen. He has an exceptionally well-equipped ship and a chance to turn an unfamiliar universe into a home. With a crew of women around him, he wants to shape a life that suits his own wishes. Reborn as a Space Mercenary makes that fresh start the basis of a space adventure: the ship is both a powerful asset and an escape from his ordinary working life. Expect romantic wish fulfilment alongside the mecha action and comedy.
