All NieR Automata Manga and Books

When it comes to the NieR Automata side, there are plenty of manga and books for fans of this game as well. These books make good use of the state of the world and the various androids fighting back against the machines. Here are all of the manga and books based on this particular entry:

• YoRHa Boys
• Pearl Harbor Descent Record Volume 1
• Pearl Harbor Descent Record Volume 2
• Descent Record Volume 3
• Long Story Short
• Short Story Long

If you’re looking for particular recommendations, I suggest the two Long Story Short and Short Story Long novels. They give excellent backstories and short stories about the main characters in the game, such as A2. These add some fantastic lore and the story is well-written by the author Jun Eishima. If you feel like you didn’t spend enough time with this wonderful cast of androids, these books are one way to remedy that.

NieR Replicant is available right now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, while NieR: Automata is available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
