Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!
2 volumes of manga, 4 volumes of light novel
If you liked the space sims, Elite and Wing Commander, you might like this. Isekai character wakes up in his space ship from an online space sim game (like Eve Online) and has adventures as a space mercenary. While not a comedy, I think it is a good hearted series with humor. As a player of such games it is nice to see the sci-fi element get treated too.
I have been reading the light novel and the manga. So far there hasn't been an over-arching plot line, just a story of an isekai space mercenary, his loving crew, and their top of line star craft having their adventures fighting pirates, nobles, and fleet action.
Little risque scifi action romp.
This is not Cowboy Bebop, no pathos or noir here. But I like it for what it is.
