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 M Squadron--the beginning of both curse and punishment, of androids dreaming of the glory of mankind.
