An original novel set in the universe of the award-winning, international hit video game NieR:Automata. Based on the stage drama 'Project YoRHa,' YoRHA Boys recounts events that occurred before the beginning of the post-apocalyptic action role-playing game NieR:Automata. Written by bestselling novelist Jun Eishima, supervised by NieR:Automata Director Yoko Taro, and featuring artwork by acclaimed Final Fantasy illustrator Toshiyuki Itahana, this is the previously untold tale of the formation of YoRHa Experimental Unit M - the beginning of both 'curse' and 'punishment,' of androids dreaming of the glory of mankind.
