Yoko Taro’s OL Doujinshi Literally Features a Little Penis Alien Named “Dick”

Posted on December 31, 2017 - 6:45 pm by Rekka Alexiel

Today was the final day of the winter Comic Market aka Comiiket! Although I arrived a little later than I wanted, I was still able to pick up the three new books sold at Yoko Taro & Moriyama Daisuke’s booth!!

◼️ A Brief Look

The fake game is called 「OL戦記」and was even given an English title: a Record of OL War. Of course, OL = Office Lady.

On the front cover, we’re told It is a “Survival OL Action” game for the PTA, the PlayTerminalAdvance. It has a “GERO” or “Vomit” rating and is geared toward 47 year olds (note that Yoko Taro is 47).

The basic gist of the story revolves around an alien invasion in which researchers have determined that unique and powerful waves radiate from “Japanese OL”. These waves are able to penetrate the enemy alien shields, and so OLs become the world’s only hope…

Among the battling OLs, the strongest 3 make up the final stand against the aliens.
