Synopsis
Japanese vending-machine fan dies, reincarnates as a vending machine in a fantasy world.
How far are you willing to go to protect your interests? For one Japanese vending-machine enthusiast, the answer is "to the grave."

Is a land of monsters and magic ready for this modern marvel of convenience?! (Source: Yen Press)
