A NieR Automata entry, yes!
That means we maybe will have a chance of adding 2B to our favorite Characters :D

Seriously, how can a manga with only 854 members, that include 689 PTR, be ranked 39 on the top manga page ? I know that I shouldn't take that ranking very seriously but still, MAL admins, try to be a little bit serious with your site.

Manga gets into rating once it's been scored by at least 25 members (it's 50 for anime), which is just enough and the 149 members that rated it is well enough. The problem is with users who haven't actually read this yet they mark it as completed and give it 10/10 because they liked the game. I don't think the novel is even available in English.
You all need to watch Nami.

Viz Media decided to license the two NieR:Automata novels. The first volume will be out this fall, specifically Oct 9th. The second volume will be out next spring, March or April.

Viz Announcement:
https://www.viz.com/news/newsroom/v/1006568

Pre-order for 1st volume: (Amazon/B&N)
https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/nier-jun-eishima/1128474541?ean=9781974701629

https://www.amazon.com/NieR-Automata-Long-Story-Short/dp/197470162X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524125669&sr=8-1&keywords=nier+automata+novel

Not sure if there are any fan translations out there, but there are detailed summaries instead. You can wait for fan translation if you can't afford the official translation by Viz, but translating a novel, especially a long one, is not exactly easy work. Plus... A group might not even attempt to translate the novel now that there is news of an official translation.

The in game story was boring and not at all compelling, the only good part was the game play and waifu.

Did we play different games? I'd certainly disagree with you about your claim on the story. However, the waifu and gameplay were indeed top tier.

I haven't played the game (yet?), but I want to get into the story.
Are these novels a retelling of the game or additional material?

@Felori
Reviews say volume 1 "Long Story Short" is a retelling of the game and volume 2 "Short Story Long" is additional materials.
