NieR:Automata YoRHa Boys is an original novel based in the universe of the hit video game NieR:Automata and was written by Jun Eishima with input by Yoko Taro.

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.
