Boxxo

Anime

**Boxxo** (ハッコン, *Hakkon*) is the main protagonist of the series. He is a former vending machine maniac. After dying in an accident, he was reborn in another world as a magical vending machine. All of his movements depend on Lammis, who is strong enough to carry him. He can sell any product he bought in his past life.

## Appearance

His human form looks much like the protagonist of *Campfire Cooking in Another World*. He’s about a head taller than most male characters in the anime. His base form is a tall white vending machine with an orange stripe across the middle with all the vending machine accessories such as a screen, coin slot, and coin return slot. His actual vending mechanism is made up of 3 different shelves that have varying merchandise on display, with buttons under each item with a price on a digital display. On his lower half is where he dispenses all items. It’s usually shown to be a black square but also shown to be transparent, and a cooling vent on the bottom. Boxxo also has several other forms that can alter his appearance, such as an oxygen mask vending machine, candy vending machine, condom vending machine, balloon vending machine, porn vending machine, cardboard vending machine, ramen noodle vending machine, ice machine, bathhouse product vending machine, gas pump, washing machine, car wash pump, defibrillator machine, and jukebox. He also has eyes, but only the viewers can see them.

## Personality

Boxxo is kind and benevolent, who is more than happy to help in any way. He has feelings for his companion Lammis, but cannot admit them due to his limited speech, and will always try to help or protect her and their other allies. He does not like people trying to rob him.

## Background

He died because he tried to save a vending machine in his past life from falling off a truck. In doing so, he falls off a cliff and presumably was crushed by the vending machine upon impacting the floor below the cliff side road.

## Relationships

Hulemy: Boxxo is on good terms with her. She also knows that he contains a human soul.

Lammis: She is Boxxo's closest ally and love interest, who carries him on her back. Due to her great strength, she serves as Boxxo's means of transportation. Their companionship is so powerful that should they ever get separated from one another, Lammis will get extremely upset and will do whatever it takes to reunite with him.

Suori: Boxxo doesn't seem to have any hard feelings towards her, even after she antagonized him and also tried to buy him from Lammis.

Menagerie of Fools: Boxxo gets along with the Menagerie members just fine, except for their leader Kerioyl, whom he does not trust.
