I’ll start posting Game-ya BL this Friday under the title “The Honest Life of a Game Studio.” The schedule for the next chapters will be posted on this board as they become available (click Calendar).
Authored by Higefusa (literally beard tuft), this two-part title has 700+ pages, and there’s enough 4-panel comics in it it might as well be 4 volumes. Daunting for me, but I am excited because I LOVE these two! Do give this a chance, especially if you love video games.
You can read the free version of this comic in the original language here. The tankobon has more chapters on their romance and office shenanigans.

Thank you for supporting Michiru-sensei! Please enjoy the lovely art, if not the words.
Here's an art snip from the DJ 「おまだめ a little trip」 Michiru-sensei published last month (hopefully, I can get my hands on it). It's Isejima getting excited over the idea of a 10-day vacation with Yakumo.

Hey! thank you so so much for scanlating Omae de Dame Nara Mou Dame da, it's so lovely and unique, especially it's characters! btw, do you think Hiro is somewhere on the autistic spectrum? I personally totally feel like he might be, and it's super validating to see a character like this in a manga :') it's lovely he has people who care about him just the way he is, even though the world generally doesn't understand him. Thank you again for you hard work, keep being awesome! :)
Hello
Since I don't know anything about the autistic spectrum I'm totally unequipped to answer that question.
I don't know if that was the authors intention but if it gives the characters and story more depth and meaning for you then that's great.
Thanks so much for the support and for reading the projects we work on!
Hi, I'm oyajidesu, the translator. I do think he is! It's an aspect of him that meant I had to get creative with the translations. He hit some social faux pas that doesn't matter as much for other cultures but is very tied to the many unwritten rules of Japanese societal behaviors. Take, for example, this one:
He speaks in a factual, assertive manner. And I kid you not, that is enough to ruffle feathers, especially of the boss variety. On a lighter note, his word choices center around his interests. He likes sci-fi/science-ish words. It's why I went with doomed for the title! And I'm sad I couldn't fit words like 'annihilation.' I love him. T_T
Honestly, even without all these, this is the page that cinched it for me:
It's the book that Isejima cried over. He's a man who can't see colors, but the world around him expects him to see it. He tries so hard, doesn't he? I was in full agreement about everything that Yakumo said of him in Chapter 6.

my sibling was playing nier at the time I was rereading the manga, so my brain constructed an obtuse scenario where nobu and anan get accosted into cosplaying for a nier v1.22 promo event! maximum cringe
image descriptions under the cut:
Drawing 1: A digital drawing of a middle-aged Japanese man (named Nobu) cosplaying as Father Nier from Nier Gestalt, and a young Japanese man (named Anan) cosplaying as Brother Nier from Nier Replicant. Nobu has a giant sword slung over his shoulder with a frown, and Anan is curiously handling his own sword that is hanging from his shoulder, while clutching a thick tome in the other hand.
Drawing 2: A digital black and white 4-panel comic.
First panel: Yoko Taro (name censored), Yosuke Saito (name censored) and Hokke-san from BL Game Studio are discussing plans on their joint promo event for Nier Replicant ver 1.22 (name censored) and Death Road Limit.
Yoko Taro: Since cosplay events are meant to be fun, why don't we cosplay as each other's characters? (The Death Row protag is so handsome...)
Yosuke Saito: Yoko-san, you're serious? (In that case, I'll pick the support role...)
Hokke-san: Good idea, Yoko-san! In that case, I will get my staff to cosplay as the Nier protagonist~
Second panel: Hokke-san is seen gesturing to two illustrations on the wall of the Nier ver 1.22 characters, Brother Nier and Father Nier, in front of 4 employees: a bald man in a dress shirt (Myouzai), a plump man in a hoodie (Katsuura), a middle-aged scruffy man with tied-up hair (Nobu) and a young man with glasses (Anan). All of them have frustrated or exasperated expressions.
Hokke: Please decide who will be representing Nier~
Myouzai: Most of us are too old or unfit to portray them...
Katsuura: If it's going to be cosplay, it has to be accurate!!
Anan: Why did Hokke-san agree to this in the first place...?
Third panel: Similar layout to the second panel, but now everyone turns to knowingly and expectantly look at Nobu and Anan in one corner.
Nobu has a caption pointed at him, reads: The only gruff, muscular man in the office.
Anan has a caption pointed at him, reads: The only (free) young man in the office.
Nobu & Anan: What.
Fourth panel: Cut to Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito in Death Road Limit cosplay (Protagonist and Support role respectively) happily greeting Nobu and Anan in Nier cosplay (Father and Brother Nier respectively).
Yoko & Saito, cheerily: Let's have a good event!
Nobu & Anan, in thought: (Damn you, Hokke-san...)
Narration: And so, the unlikely result for our promo representatives for Nier and Death Road Limit.
Drawing 3: A digital black and white 4-panel comic.
First panel: Anan, still in his Brother Nier cosplay, is inspecting the tome Grimoire Weiss, while Nobu (still in his Father Nier cosplay) can be seen talking with Yoko Taro (still in his Death Row protagonist cosplay).
Anan, touching Grimoire Weiss: The costumes we got from SQEX are frighteningly detailed... (Even the embossing...)
Anan: Eh? Nobu-san is still wearing the costume... Revealing... Costume...
Second panel: Close-up of Nobu-san's torso. His Father Nier cosplay leaves most of him shirtless, showing off his toned body.
Anan, in thought: (Nobu-san's... muscles...)
Third panel: Close-up of Anan's face, bearing a panicked expression with a spurting nosebleed. A jumbled stream of text can be seen behind him.
Anan, in thought: (Oh my God, he went through a whole public promo event, shirtless!! His muscular body can be seen all over the net!! Wearing a costume that looks like bondage gear!! I must save that footage later... but wait, as his b-b-b-boyfriend, is it right for me to be OK with him showing his body? Shouldn't I only get to see it all for myself? But wait, it's for a work event, so I have to act professional! But he's also being so erotic in the workplace!! For a work event!! I should stop staring, we're at work, aaaaaaa-)
Fourth panel: The focus is now on Nobu-san and Yoko Taro. Nobu looks awkward, while Anan is seen panicking in the distance behind Nobu.
Anan: (OMG, OMG!)
Nobu, in thought: (Anan... Ya gotta calm down... I can feel yer stare borin' into me, buddy...)
