Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship is officially getting an anime adaptation, with no further details regarding the production revealed. The anime project announcement was posted using the novel’s first cover, which you can see below.
Ryuto started writing Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship as a web novel serialized on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website in February 2019. It was later acquired by Fujimi Shobo, which began publishing it with illustrations by Tetsuhiro Nabeshima in July 2019. Thirteen volumes have been released as of September 10, 2024.
There is also an ongoing manga adaptation by Shinichi Matsui, which has been serialized on Kadokawa’s ComicWalker website since November 2019, with a total of nine volumes released as of January 23, 2025. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both the light novel and manga in English, describing the story:
When Sato 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!
