Please keep that in mind before purchasing!

What is Seiyuu Danshi?
Seiyuu Danshi is a Japanese-style Visual Novel / Dating sim centering around life as a voice actor. In this game, you'll play as a newbie voice actor who strives to win for the year-end Seiyuu Award. On his way to reach his goal, though, he will still live his daily life and YOU get to make the choices on how he should spend his days!
The game is highly interactive and there's no usual restriction in plot that you get in ordinary VNs. If you don't feel like working, feel free to slack. If you feel like being single for the rest of your life, yes it can be done! Just keep in mind that ALL your actions matter and will decide how the game ends!
You can try out the new demo now! Download link is there below on the bottom of this page (so you need to scroll a lot) =D
The new demo contains SIX weeks of in-game time (up to 15th February), and you can see most of the features that you can see in final release, with the only exception being foreplay mode. You can finally experience the interactive maps first-hand, talk to NPCs to take quests, experience new audition mechanism, purchase underwears, decorate your room, see brand new character graphics with changing clothes, and lots of other features that we've now implemented!
For the full game, you can play as the main character for around 1 year game time. There are 5 love interests + 2 secret characters that are woo-able <3
You'll play as a newbie voice actor who's on the verge of being kicked out from his agency. Going back home is not an option, and thus begin his journey to become a good-enough-voice-actor-to-not-get-kicked-out-of-the-agency! Join his journey and woo some guys on the way!

Hiiii ! I leave a comment here cause I had no answer to my email and I cannot wait >_<
I done the 1st demo a few weeks ago, and yesterday I just finished the 2nd. I saw a big amelioration ! Essentially for side quests. Nice job ! Yeeeh ! °W°
That's why I would like to see if I can support, but first, I have some importants questions.
I'm not really rich ; like Haato, I'm a poor kitty x) So if I supporting you 3 months by exemple with 15$ per month, shall I also have to pay the final game at full price ?
Thanks in advance, and maybe see you soon as a patron !
If you support at $20 tier for at least 2 months on Patreon, you can get the copy of game for free.

Will the game be released on June or its going to be delayed
Delayed, and not gonna state new release date because I don't wanna jinx myself (I've answered this exact question a couple posts below with more details, I think)
Why hikaru's route is taking long time :( i want to play at weekend.
Be patient please :/ It is seriously annoying to get asked over and over again when I never really stated a release date for his route. His route just took longer to finish than I thought. I can release it now and it would be a jumbled up mess.
Wow, I just finished the demo and you most definitely have my support. I love all the little things to do, the choices of clothes, decorations, places to go and more!! I especially love the idea of the voice acting job mechanics, I find it incredibly interesting trying to choose what emotion to express the given line in. You've really piqued my interest and i haven't even touched the depths of the game ;)
I find this all so adorable (especially PonPon!) and look forward to future lewding ;3
When i can, i'll see what i can do about purchasing that beta!
How do I purchase the beta? I already bought and played r=the demo.
Pay more than $48.99 to get beta access. You can then ask for refund for your old purchase (the $28.99 one)
how do you get the normal ending or the good ending on shuu and toru
i want to get the refund from the pre order 28.99$ one as i already buy the Beta version one. i try to contract with itch.io they said my transation is too old for them to maake the refund for me so they said they will contract to u and u will be the one who do the refund. but i have not get any email about the refund after that
Maybe try re-sending them an e-mail? I haven't received any e-mail regarding refund this past week or so.
yes I have done that two days before I write this comment
how many image does shuu and toru have and how many eding
16 for Toru, 16 for Shuu. I forget the number of general event images. 3 endings for each character.
Full game also has 16 ?
how do you fight or argue with your lover and how do you give birthday present to your lover
Eh, you can't actively search for fighting.
Birthday is celebrated by a special scene instead of giving present (different guys, different scenes)
So I just noticed something and I was curious. I pre-ordered the game ages ago when it was listed at 24.99. I noticed the price change to 28.99. Will I still have access to the full game when it's released or do I need to pay the difference?
You'll still have access to full game. Since you pre-ordered early, you got a cheaper price.
soo... I bought the game, but where am I supposed to download the beta? I don't get any download link on the page where I'm supposed to be able to download the full game... It seems like I'm only able to download the demo version on the itch launcher, since I'm prompted to buy the full version in order to play the beta version after the demo ends...
Beta isn't the same as full game. Beta access is given to people who bought the game at minimum 48.99.
Roughly when do you think the full game be released?
I can't say. I don't want to jinx myself (because that keeps happening). If you don't want to wait, please do not pre-order / just ask for refund. To ask for refund, e-mail support@itch.io.
Will the artbook be a digital or physical copy?
Digital.
hello I was wondering if it to late to get the refund on seiyuu danshi if it's not can i get the refund ?
You can send e-mail to support@itch.io to get refund.
When will you add Hikaru's route to beta ?
When it's done.
I mean when is it done lul. Soon right ?
Hi! Does the beta automatically update or do I have to download each new version of it?
It can automatically update if you have the itch app.
Hi! Does anyone know how to get Shuu to roleplay as a doctor? I bought a costume and he agreed to do it once he finds the 'right' place. But months passed since then, and I'm not sure what I should I do to get it
I think that might be because of a bug... Will reupload new version soon. It should trigger in a few days after he said he would find the right place (as long as you have bottomed for Shuu at least once)
My poor MC always ends up as a forever bottom anyways XD So I'll be waiting patiently for a new version. Thank you so much for your hard work!!
months? I thought you could only play 6 weeks on the beta?
Em no, in beta you play for like full year really.
In Demo you play only 6 weeks
Hi, I just got to know this game today and found it very fun. I played demo and have couple questions:
1. will the final product be fully voice covered?
2. when is the planed final release date?
3. do you still need artists for CGs?
Good luck for the development!
1) No, it's partial voicing
2) I can't say. I don't want to jinx myself (because that keeps happening lol)
3) I have found the artist for the game :)
The star bar is not moving past the level where one star is nearly filled for me.
How do you increase the star bar for Shuu? The heart bar is full but the star bar is still empty, I had a scene where he was sick with CG. I do spend most days with him and I'm already in July, am I doing something wrong?
Same question. He won't even go to Fireworks Festive with me :(
You need to be lovers with Shuu before fireworks festival to get his fireworks festival event.
Download lastest version and play new game. Star bar should increases since the first day you meet Shuu.
Hello. I was wondering if you have a new "Due Date" because if it has a further due date, like 2 months from now I would like to know how to get a refund on my money so I can buy the beta. Thank you for reading.
Hello! I don’t know when the full game is coming out, but what I did to get a refund was to email support@itch.io and then purchase the beta.
is the demo 2.00 the newest one with toru
Demo only has ~ 3 weeks of gameplay, you can't become lovers with anyone.
When is Shuu's bug fix ?
Soon.
How to get confession scene ? Just full the heart gauge or have to pass some event (beach, firework) . Sry for my bad english.
Full heart gauge and full star bar (newly introduced in newest build)
May I ask how to increase the star bar? I tried for a bit and didn't get any stars.. Thanks!
Just spend time with him during the day and it will increase everytime you get new scenes.
So, is foreplay mode in the demo now, or?
No. Foreplay mode is when you have become lovers with the guy. You can't become lovers with the guy in demo.
If Haato were to bottom, would the picture change? Like would it be Haato's point of view looking up at whoever his love interest is? I'm just soooo excited for this game, I can't help but wonder what all its feature will be like. You guys are doing awesome!
Are Hato only top ??
He can both top or bottom.
as I wish, or you select it for each one
As you wish, for each love interest.
I have too much teenage angst. I need this to come out now (Jk take all the time you need to further the quality of the game :D) But I do need to ask though if it is not too much. Will the game becoming out mid June or late. Thanks for reading.
It is not coming out in June. There are still 2 more routes to clean up and voice acting to take care of.
We appreciate all of the hard work being done =)
Thanks for reading and replying to my comment. Can we expect the game to come out some time in the next mouth or two. Thank you for continuing the development of Seiyuu Danshi and making sure it is crisp and clean. I know it's going to be super cool and I can't wait to play it :) (I can totally wait to play it though)
In the game im having a little trouble> im not sure how to get the traits for certain jobs>
Hey! Playing the game I've found that you actually get traits like cute going to the book store and talking with the shop assistant (the grey haired dude) so that you can buy a specific book and it tells you the trait it will give you. Then you need to read said book by clicking the shelf in the room at night time and you'll get the trait. Otherwise you can also get traits by eating at the restaurant by talking to the lady (this gives you traits like energetic, ramen lover, etc.) !!
Thank you so much! i appreciate your answer and it helped.
Hi, I was playing the demo and came across this error. I don't know if you've already fixed it so I just wanted to let you know.

Is it possible to adopt pet in beta version??? Because if it is, I can't figure how T_T
Feed the pet you want a total of 30 times and you should be able to adopt it (each day you can only feed once)
*Lightly begins to stroke screen* Soon.........Soon
Sooooon my preciouuusss *Golum voice*
*wakes up and crawls out of a dark cave hissing at the light* Hmmmmm it's not out yet? Very well I can go back to my slumber *Screeches and crab walks back in to my
bedroomcave *Can anyone get Shuu's confession scene???
Nope, I've maxed both love and friendship bars and stalked him everyday. I can't even get the crush scene, which I assume is required. i think I got that once on an earlier build, though. But now I'm stuck in the friendzone :(
parsonova, yep I have the exact same problem too! Now I don't know what to do about it T_T
I will get back to this issue once I get back from my trip. It is kinda difficult to stay focused when I can only sneak in working time for 30 minutes max ^^;
I was an original backer of this game when it was on Kickstarter, but I had to withdraw due to unforeseen financial issues, and was sad about it. I just stumbled upon it again while cleaning my PC and saw the demo i had downloaded, and am excited to get back in and see what's changed since the version I tried (1.0 I think it was)! Thank you for your constant work on the game, and I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on it. :)
New build is up. This fixes issue:
1) Shuu april fools event
2) Shiba's missing clothes issue
Do you guys have any idea on around what time the full game will come out for those who pre-order it?? No pressure or anything, I love the demo. I'm just curious so I know if I need to hurry and pre-order or not. Thanks!
Next month
Nothing's decided yet. I'm working hard everyday to complete the game, but it's taking much longer than expected. Please do not pre-order if you don't want to wait (or just request a refund if you do not want to wait).
AHHHH BUG HAS OCCURED
For those who want to report bugs, please send e-mail to meyaoigames@gmail.com instead of commenting here.
Like Corrin, I didn't see any April Fools scene when I visited Shuu even after downloading the latest version. Also, I didn't see any status change when the bar reached Crush, which I'm thinking precedes the confession.
Wow, I feel so stupid now. ^^; Mixed up the date and month (4 in day instead of month).
Gonna upload newest version soon (Also, I'm fixing this in airport, so yeah... I might make more stupid mistakes lol)
Mistakes happen! Thanks for your hard work and dedication. It's impressive that you are making fixes when you should be resting!
