Most people are review bombing due to news and it’s wacky title. But it’s an extremely entertaining series.

We follow a man who loves vending machines so much that he gave his life to cushion the fall of a vending machine that was about to topple over and break on the ground. So in his next life he’s reborn as one. Right off the bat it sets itself up to be fun story that makes this ridiculous concept into something very entertaining. Is it thought provoking or ground breaking? No. However if you’re looking for something absurd and decently fun definitely give it try. 7/10

In all honestly, I have not read much manga. However, this vending machine saga is a story I'm always checking to see if there are more chapters published. The premise is albeit a bit ridiculous, but the manga is aware of that ridiculousness and leans into it wholeheartedly which leads to quite creative and endearing scenarios of resourcefulness and problem-solving, as although we can see the main character's internal monologue and inner thoughts, his external dialogue is limited via plot reasons.

This manga strives to be a story of a vending machine in a fantasy world with endearing side characters taking said vending machine on crazy ... adventures, and it did a great job of what it was striving to do. Of course, it's not perfect; the fantasy world itself is extremely generic, and some of the more dangerous parts of the story get wrapped up conveniently nicely. But if you're down for a fun read of a story of two beings learning to become friends despite physical and communicational differences, I couldn't recommend it more.

Plus, this manga is really making me more interested in manga as a whole... I wonder what I should read next 😊

Unironically more entertaining than most isekai. The concept is ridiculous but it works well. The idea of modern conveniences in isekai isn't particularly original but this one takes the cake as it's literally a vending machine in an isekai. The fact that he can't communicate (cause hes a vending machine) makes for an interesting character dynamic. The art work isn't my favorite but it works and is more detailed than I thought it would or should be. The vending machine concept is also fleshed out quite well and for something that seems like a joke series, theres some depth to it which I can really ... appreciate. God I wish there were more chapters.
