I acutally have the same question. I bought the Shiba's dog costume from the pink bear, but it's not in the costume inventory when I click on the costume button just before sex in the love hotel. Anyone else have the same problem?
first one: sick shuu - keep visiting him at his house, at some point the scene will happen;
2nd: beach trip CG;
last one: fan meeting
and the shiba's dog costume: dog appears in one of the classes (it'll triggers a CG too), after the dog shows up, the love hotel bear will make you an offer, go to the love hotel at night and the bear will offer you a dog costume (cost: 20k); for the scene to happen, you have to top shiba at least once, after buying the costume, at some point the scene will happen (it took a while to appear for me, so don't worry);
Ok, so I bought the costume from the pink bear and topped Shiba twice, once as a sub and once as a dom, but the costume still doesn't show up in the selection. Am I suppose to top Shiba before I buy the costume?
I got it! It took ~50 days of having as much sex as possible but I finally got it! Also, it's visiting him in the daytime after the voice acting lesson, not in the morning. Thank you!
Hey, I saw your guide and in Shuu's route, you get the 6th cg by giving Shuu a blowjob, not the other way around. Thanks for the guide tho! It's a lot of help.
it's a scene that happens when haato goes to tocchan's house to meet his siblings (for me it happened just to spend as much time as possible with him in the week)
Hiya, I don't know if someone answered this but in my first gameplay for Shuu route, I got a bad end. I even reach to the superstar and I even fulfilled the heart chart on him.
I also answered the choice that "he should do what he wants to do".
I don't know what I missed out? How can I get him a good or best ending for him?
no I have not gotten that scene yet The only scene I got was him trying to take me to love hotel for a one night stand And I rejected him and I never saw him again.
Then you'll have to keep working at the pub. His schedule isn't fixed, and sometimes he comes after 2 weeks. I usually see him on Sat but might not be the same for everyone. October is rather late though, you'll have to have that last scene of him not appearing at the pub anymore before December or it won't work.
You may have to redo his events with at least the superstar and money cheats so you dun have to worry about auditions and money and concentrate on Kaede's routes instead.
Just tried it yesterday, With the cheats in, I started asap and concentrated only on him, so I got the drunken scene as early as a week before April. This time for me he came on Monday and each scene was after 2 weeks
ya I just got it some how. I skipped him seeing hikaru and the hatto masterbation scene don't know if it helped or not but yay. Now all I need is hatto toping tocchan in his office if I can figure how to trigger it then I'll be done with the game. But I'm definitely going to buy the digital fanbook .
And I can't wait for the next game I'm all for cat boy how about you . and also thanks for all your help so far I just like to finish my games at 100%
I'm also waiting for the next game. As for my choice... hard to choose, I like so many but cats are my fav. Then again, the shark looks in need of manhandling
You start a new game after you choose you name then you can pick as many cheats to use. But it won't work unless you got a happy ending with the characters of that cheat
I finally got into a relationship and we are finally having sex, but now I'm trying to use my foreplay tools and I can't get any of them to stay on the screen long enough to use. Anyone else have this problem?
Head to your Mac settings and head to Security and Privacy, Because Apple had automatically chosen the "Mac App Store and Identified Developers" option you need to change that. Click on the lock on the bottom left hand corner, once you've unlocked it, choose the "Anywhere" option and lock the lock to save your changes, now you should be able to open Seiyuu Danshi with no problem ^^
is there a complete/fully detailed guide to this game? that includes what requirements needed for each route and certain cgs to trigger that seem to be easily missable. I missed an aquarium date thats supposedly with Tocchan and its esp hard to keep track of things when youre working on VA skills and missed moments with certain characters. i cant even tell when do special moments trigger exactly i'm really lost.
No there isn't a detailed guide. People say Tocchan is the hardest for some reason and I don't really understand why after beating his route for the first time though tbh. It's not very difficult, at least in hindsight, though I haven't replayed in months.
Visit Tocchan in the park, at the market/grocery store, etc. as often as you can.
Call him often. On dates, wear the type of clothes that he likes and touch him in the correct areas and give him the right gifts. But don't slack on auditions and raising your stats in the meantime, do all the above steps again and again until you hit the Lovers status. The quickest I've ever got him to admit to liking MC is in April, game time wise, I believe; for the best ending, wait for him to come to the realization he loves MC without any prodding.
Getting certain CGs unlocked and triggering certain moments requires you to be a seme the entire playthrough or an uke the entire playthrough. Above all, don't get discouraged. If you missed the aquarium date, I'd go back to a previous save file and try again.
I'm replaying the game again to see if I can help you, but if you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask <3
Its working fine but its weirdly voiced. Some things they say are not fully voiced. I think thats a bit of a cop out, or maybe a glitch, so its not FULLY Voiced.
In the demo, when about to do recordings for the BL game (tentacle scene), I get this error. I have tried reloading an earlier save, and re-installing the demo, but to no avail.

Ah is the voiced version a demo? I have bought the full game unvoiced as well, but I've never had a problem with anything regarding error messages until recently.
I cant get into kaede's route I denied his one night stand but I haven't had any more interactions with him i've been doing my bar job on Monday Friday and Saturday and I'm on October and still no scene yet and I have all my cheats on am I missing something .
1st: kiss tocchan - do it a lot in foreplay mode until the you get the scene;
2nd: Sub/Bottom Tocchan, first: get the rope - to get the rope you have to do the sidequest of an NPC outside the TV station (needs to have popular status and access to TV station - that is, bribe the guard, spend 50k), and then use the rope (foreplay mode).
I am so confused and stuck on kaeda's route. I got up to the part where he doesnt show up to the bar anymore after confessing that he loves the main character. And now its almost november in the game and i haven't seen him in like 5 months. what the heck am i supposed to go its so frustrating??????
Pretty sure reviews via the rating section aren't publicly viewable on this website so I'm posting it in full here for the sake of posterity.
Please take what I'm going to say with a grain of salt. I know there were a lot of hiccups during production. That's to be expected on such an ambitious game. But the reality is, it's a released game at full price and I will judge it as such.
Bugs: Too many for a full price game. None of them, at the time I've downloaded this game, are game breaking but there's a severe amount of continuity errors, visual glitches, and audio glitches where sound effects don't stop at the scene (like sex sounds will play long after the scene is over, or kissing scenes' sounds will carry over until you're at least on the next day--it's unintentionally hilarious when you hear the characters still macking on each other when you're sitting at home trying to play with your cat, but it really takes away from the immersion). This game clearly expects you on a railroad and if you deviate at all (which is easy to do; and the game PRIDES itself on being so open) you've messed up railroaded scenes which will now make no sense. The game developer did not seem to account for the openness they themselves designed. And it's not even convoluted things like going somewhere unusual on April Fool's day and thus unlocking a scene with a character you've never met. It's also as basic as getting your stress level too high. For example on Hikaru's route, when you're only at the acquaintance status with him and you stress out too much, he visits your apartment to take care of you. He shows compassion and a connection you don't have yet. Let alone how he even knows where you live. But such a basic element of the game that's easy to trigger should not have such an in-congruent scene to where you are in the game. It's stuff like this that keeps popping up that I don't understand how it made it into the final release. Did anyone beta test this game? And if you check the comments on this game, I'm not alone. There's numerous errors being reported left and right. For a full price game it has no excuse to be this buggy. This isn't an EA release. At least the creators seem to care, but therein lies the other problem. Patches don't exist. When the game is updated, it forces you to redownload the entire game and figure out how to transfer your save files to the new download any time there's an update. And as buggy as this game is, there's going to be a lot of that if the developer decides to keep updating this game. Frankly I don't understand why some of these updates even exist like the date skipping feature, but I'll talk about this in the replayability section. Another issue is with the sprite layering. I think this is more to do with the engine than anything. I have found when a character exits a scene to leave the background behind, you will see them flash between their clothing layers until it's nude and then it disappears. It happens fast but it definitely happens. Art: I have to start with just a tiny personal gripe. This game borrows a lot from games that came before it which is a mark that the creators genuinely love this genre and I appreciate that. But why do we not have a body hair toggle option? For a game with so much else you can work with, why didn't we get something as simple to implement as that? None of the characters have hair. I get that's a personal preference thing but for a game with so much variety in the characters and the sex..why is everyone so..naked? I have to say, it causes some of the anatomical art to look silly. Sometimes penises look really great in a way you don't often see in yaoi at all because these games don't appreciate the variety or natural stages of the penis. But at the same time, it also leads to some of the art looking really bland because while the genitals may be drawn beautifully..they have minimal texture and shading and without hair even, it just looks like a slightly developed Ken Doll at times. Also, why does the MC not have a fully drawn butt? In the rear view scenes when changing underwear, if you go bare his intergluteal cleft is just..barely there? I mean I love that he has a flat butt with fascinating line art to the outer shape but why is the crack itself barely drawn? Gripes out of the way, I like art. It's cute. It's mostly well drawn and fun and the CGs are worth collecting. Not as dynamic as I would prefer but enough to be interesting. I also love the use of the chibis, particularly in erotic content. Games like Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome and No Thank You!!! really did it best, but this game takes that platform and develops it for more use. Maybe it's used a little more than it should be at times but it's cute and I enjoy it regardless. I wish the art in the foreplay scenes was a bit more varied though with better facial expressions and changes to the body itself. It's well done and that's really why I want more. We don't get enough of it in games and so I'd appreciate more of this content. Also the facial expressions of the sprites is dang near perfect. I absolutely adore the sprites more than I have in any other game. It really helps the comedy along, the emotion along, the romance along..it goes a long way to really helping seal the intention of that moment.
Voice Acting: It's good. I'd have liked voice acting in the job scenes too but we get enough to make it fun and interesting. What really matters is the sexual voice acting. And I have to say, I am THOROUGHLY impressed. I've been playing eroge for over 12 years now and I've amassed a growing collection of over 300 games. I've experienced a lot and Seiyuu Sanshi has some of the best voice acting for the sex. Sadly there's not enough dialogue to keep the scene going as long as I'd like though. I mean, let's be real, a vast majority of people play eroge with a specific intent in mind. If your sex scene can't last even half as long as your market can, you're dropped the ball on a crucial element of gameplay. But the moaning, the gasping, the sound effects themselves are fantastic. They are varied, they sound natural, they're not entirely "turn based" so the immersion is really there. Again, another feature I'd have liked is the voice acting to continue without having to sit on that screen. Again, a feature in another game that wasn't implemented here and I wish had been. Having a good mix of dialogue with description would have led to this kind of implementation being useful and combated the issue of short scenes. But the VA for the MC does amazingly well in these sex scenes. You don't often enough hear higher pitched sex sounds from male VAs and it works here. It's so refreshing and sexy and offers a wonderful contrast to the deeper voices of most other characters. I especially can appreciate that HIkaru's voice goes so low compared to his normal speaking voice. having that variety is really fun to listen to. Also just the different ways in which each character communicates their pleasure through these sounds. It's in no way one-note and that's a rare gift.
Plot: A big issue with a lot of stat management games is managing plot with filler. This game has a lot of railroaded scenes, which I appreciate, but many don't feel like they're really advancing much. They're offering minimal characterization, but it's as though the game is requiring you to read into it more than the game itself does. I don't feel as though there's enough give and take from the MC and the love interest about their separate lives and goals. The scenes where Hikaru is wracked with turmoil or stressed by being an idol and the very temporary nature of the career is brought up..but not really explored in any depth. It's such a huge part of who he is, to just leave it hanging with the MC's immature responses..why even have the scenes? Why even go there if you're not really going to GO THERE. It feels like these scenes exist in a vacuum and don't connect to one another like they should. And I know that I'm probably missing some scenes because this is a stat management game and so it's very easy to accidentally miss something (part of why there's so many save slots...that take 30+ seconds to load..), but having a maximum of 2 scenes that build up before dying off as often as it happens is not character development. It's a series of vague plot points that don't connect but the game wants to pretend are deep and world building. And don't even get me started on the NPCs and side quests. Actually, let's talk about that.
Playability: Let me start with talking about the NPCs and sidequests. This would probably be less of a big deal if the game didn't market itself as this being in innovative feature. It's one of many "innovative features" that don't pay off. Virtually none of them matter. The "items for sale" guy at the park, the tv station guard if you're on Hikaru's route, and the model guy for easy money in the beginning are really the only interactions that pay off. Maybe the shrine maiden to get a pet too but you could play the game without that and be fine. The NPC quests largely don't amount to anything useful and don't really add flavor to the game either. Busy work in a stat management game is fine if there's a purpose, but a vast majority of it here serves no purpose. You're better off stalking your love interest than doing any of the side quests. Maybe if there were more items to earn that could be used on EVERYONE it'd make slightly more sense? But as it stands it's pointless. Not to mention, unlike a stat management game like Backstage Pass where your day to day activities and goals differ and vary depending on who you are pursuing, this game it doesn't. Sure there are endings in which you can pursue no one but that makes the game even more pointess because of this simple problem: in Backstage Pass it makes sense and still gives you goals to work toward even if you're solely focusing on your career and not on love; in Seiyuu Danshi..there is no goal because it's the same goal you have no matter who you are pursuing only you have a lot of days of the week you won't do anything at all because you're not pursuing anyone and you will fast run out of stuff to do. Virtually none of the side quests matter. There's absolutely no difference in your day to day activities no matter which route you are on. This greatly affects the replayability as I'll talk about later. Your end goal is the same no matter what. You want to become famous and you want enough money to pay rent and enough money to visit the hotel once a week so you can have regular sex if you want sex scenes in your eroge. That's it. Those goals do not change AT ALL. Really the only stat you have to care about getting achieved quickly is charm to get the model job because it's a good money source in the beginning before you become known, and getting your fame up fast so you can get into the tv station for more HIkaru scenes to get to his lovers stage before the fireworks festival so you can unlock the sex as early as possible and get the beach date scene. But other than that? Stats? Don't matter. Side quests? Don't matter except if you want to buy sex toys or want the apron for Hachi. Most of this game really doesn't matter and is absurd filler. Again, filler is common in stat management dating sims but this game tries to pride itself on being so open and giving you so much to do..but it's an illusion. It's for the sake of marketing. Most of this content doesn't matter and will lose value after the first game play. It barely has value in the first game play as is.Not to mention, this game also prides itself on a few other features that literally do not matter. Social media? You have maybe 5 status updates all available at once per person from January..after that..nothing. Never updates. Totally useless. Why did you even market this as being part of your game? I get it, it probably WAS a bigger part of the game initially but by the end you didn't use it..but still left it in your marketing pitch? Phone system..yea..no. You don't really have conversations you can listen to. It's a fade to black. You get maybe 5 text messages you can reply to. You can't send them out willy nilly. Virtually the only use for your phone is minor companionship building to your stats only and to find out when new jobs are posted. You could cut the phone entirely out of this game and it wouldn't change anything. But again, is pitched as being a focal part of the game. Apartment customization! Cool idea..but..not really used..at all. Aside from buying a computer that won't really do you any good anyway unless you're 1-2 points away from a stat you need to achieve over a Saturday or Sunday, there's no point in customizing your apartment. It literally does nothing for you. Your apartment will be 75%+ empty space no matter what you do. If anything, change the flooring to something that doesn't hurt your eyes because there's so much of it you'll have to stare at all the time because you can't fill your space with anything else. But other than that it's pointless. Just like the underwear which also literally affects..nothing in the game. I haven't even found a way it affects the sex. I would far rather have less features and more depth than a bunch of unfinished projects scattered throughout the game to tease "what could have been". You can say I'm nitpicking harping on things, but notice I'm only harping on the things the game itself markets itself as having as a core feature of the game. I'm not complaining about any other features that didn't pan out because the game isn't selling itself on that basis. I work in sales, I'm no stranger to the accusation of bait n switch marketing..but this game really is just that. It's a bait n switch.
Replayability: What replayability? They put in a skip function to skip days at a time when using a cheat so you don't need money or fame etc. to still get through the game after completing it once. The problem is, unless you've struggled through this game multiple times, you won't have enough cheats to be able to use this feature effectively. It's entirely pointless unless you just want to have save slots to replay sexy scenes..but..the game allegedly has a replay mode for that so..??? Point? This game has no replayability other than pursuing other routes. This is the type of game that probably is better to watch as a Let's Play than to own and play yourself.
In conclusion, I want to recommend this game, I really do but I don't know if I can. I think the biggest pitfall is this game set a bar too high for itself. I've been way more forgiving of far worse games than this because they know their market and their platform. This game tried to do entirely too much and thus set an expectation it just could not meet. I'm nitpicking because this developer has so much potential and they're not going to do better if we just kiss their butts all day about how great the game is. The game is good for what it is and it's quite innovative. But it's not enough. This game tried to take on too much and ended up half-assing all of it as a result. Had this game been edited down and a focus put on the major features it was marketing, it could have been better. Instead we have an incredibly wide, shallow game instead of the depth most crave from a dating sim. Plain and simple, it's not worth this price tag which is going to sound odd with what I'm about to say. It should have cost more and actually implemented the claimed features. But, at the current price tag it's too much unfinished and doesn't feel complete and thus I can't justify the price even though I'd pay more for the complete version. The only reason I'm not requesting a refund is I want to support this developer and I genuinely have gotten many hours out of the game..but they weren't productive or enjoyed hours. I have faith they can do better and will do better in the future games. But this game itself is not worth it at this price point at all. It was way too ambitious for what it could reasonably be and just made everything feel like a let down. There was too much hype, too much build up for what it was supposed to be that it failed on the delivery. It self itself up to have an unattainable image and for a first game it would bound to end up this way.
I agree to most of your points (except for MC's high-pitched voice since I played a purely seme route and it's just... weird to me. But since MC's not really a skin where the players can slip into, I don't pay it much mind. He's still a seke even if you purely play as a top or bottom. And also the chibi part. Personally, I feel it's a weird implementation for the sex scenes. Not hot at all, ahaha. Reminds me of other things. I'll save you the mental image, haha.) Couldn't say it better myself. I wish there's a button to like this comment ^^ (EDIT: Oh ooh, nevermind! Just noticed the upvote/downvote buttons. Haha, new here!)
I like the game, but I do admit that it gets tedious after my first playthrough. It was then that I finally saw through the illusion. It's not a game where you can finish every route before moving on to another game. It's best played with a long interval in between. It's a shame, really. It could have been so much better. I have high hopes for the developer, though. They just shoot too high for their first game, in my opinion.
Anyways, yeah, great review! I hope the dev reads this, takes it into consideration, and improves. Cheers! ^ w ^)/
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I enjoy the NPCs and the "filler" portion that you complained about, but probably that's because I'm a fan of stat raising games in general :p
...And I find Backstage pass really boring, so it's really a matter of taste.
So I read your review and it got me thinking on a few things about the the game.
In terms of the bugs, I myself have actually not experienced any and I’ve played twice, nearly done with my second play through. Nor have I seen any game errors. However, I haven’t done every little bit of the game and haven’t finished it yet. I know there are bugs though and likely a good number, but many have been fixed. I do agree that when putting out a game, especially when selling it, that it’s good to try to catch the bugs. However, I will say that for a game like this, it’s not easy catching every bug and it is there first game. I do think you’re being a bit too harsh in terms of this part. The game is very playable, especially now and it’s silly for one thinking that their would be no bugs in a dating sim game created by a newbie developer. It’s clear the creator is fixing them and that’s good. I’ve seen things like EA and other creators who don’t care if their are bugs or do little about them, so we should be a bit more grateful that she’s fixing them, even if it takes time. As for the patches, I’m not sure you can do them on itch.io, but don’t take my word on that. Yes, it sucks to lose progress. I think that needs to be fixed. And please understand, I do want the bugs to be fixed and prefer a game with little to no amount of bugs, but I’m understanding that this is the creators first game. A
Art- It’s funny. I’ve seen some really dislike the chibi art, others love it. Like you, I like the chibi art even during the sex scenes. And yeah, I too really like the art. I am confused why you think they are too naked? I admit, I do not understand that part.
Voice acting-I admit, I haven’t listened to any of the voice acting. Not that it’s bad, but for some reason I prefer reading it on my own with no voices. I do the same with Camp Buddy. Good to see it’s done well. I’ll say, cause even if you turn off the voice acting you can still hear the moaning when they have sex, is done well. So yeah, maybe it time I give it shot. I just like having my own idea of what they would sound like.
Plot-I’m at half bag with this. I cannot give a full review yet, but I’ve played enough to know whatyou’re saying. You are right. This is not a plot heavy game. It’s more of fluff, with maybe slight drama depending on who you are played. But yeah, it’s not plot heavy. And I admit, like you I would’ve preferred some more scenes diving into the characters and mc and more plot. However, this game wasn’t made to be a plot heavy game. Would it have been better if it was? Honestly, it depends on the player. Many like fluffy and cute games or need a break from drama. I feel like the game did well when it game with just making a simple slice of life and funny game with romantic elements. I also find the romance okay. I did believe, for the most part, that the pair (whoever you choose) cared for each other. I did like the filler scenes as well. However, I’m gonna guess this game isn’t for you, because you seem to want a more plot heavy game. Problem is, this isn’t that, so I’m sure I can agree with you on that plot. Yeah, the story has issues and isn’t perfect, but isn’t bad and is good for someone wanting a light hearted game. I feel like you have to take that into account.
Playability-I do agree with you on Playability. I’m playing again and not even using cheats, and the only thing I’m wanting is to do the route. Not much else to do, but I’m still not bored, so that’s a good sign. I do feel like we needed more NPC or moments focusing on other characters. Like you, I also wish the phone and computer did more. I was a bit sad about that…It would’ve been fun to text. I guess for me, I’m mixed with Playability. For me, I just want the route and don’t mind if certain things are the same, but I understand those who are upset about. However, please know their are those that like a simple dating sim. Backstage Pass, just is kind of boring to me though. And note, the more focus on stats and NPC scenes, the less focus on the guys. And this had decent focus on the guys. Honestly though, it depends on whose playing.
So, while I agree with some of these points, some people prefer a game that focuses on the love interests. From what I’ve seen, people aren’t too disliking of the dating sim part. It’s fine is their is a single goal. I don’t think games should have to be the same either…But again, it depends on preference.
As for customization I do agree. It wasn’t there. I’m fine not chasing much of the mc appearance, but I wish we had more furniture and clothes and having the mc actually wearing the clothes. And maybe more to do with the furniture? I do agree with this and feel like this part could’ve been very fun if done better.
Replayability- I have a simple answer for this. Don’t use the cheat. Yeah, I’m not planning on cheating either. It will make the game worse for you. Like you’ve said, this game is not meant to be played in one long play through. I admit, I’ve taken my time and sometimes need a break. I would love Replayability though and wish they had it.However, sine we don’t, I’m gonna say don’t cheat. Doesn’t do anything much except make things easier. And honestly, the player should buy the guide if they want an easier game play. And again, this goes with the playability part about how some games focus on the routes even if it’s a dating sim. It doesn’t hold up depending on who the player is. The gameplay wasn’t for you it seems, but I promise you others don’t mind. Again though, depending on the player.
And honestly, it’s a bit depressing you won’t recommend this game. If you think about it, just how many yaoi games are there? Not many. This game isn’t bad and honestly, the stuff you mentioned depends on preference. I wish you’d say something like ‘this game would be good for those or bad for those’ instead of just saying you would recommend. Yaoi games are hard to come buy and you’re making it even more difficult doing like this. And no, I’m not saying recommend bad games, but this isn’t bad. I’ve played much worse games. But I will say, it’s good you still have faith in the developer. And I do understand why you may be disappointed. Maybe for you, a good game would be Camp Buddy. Or one of the other yaoi KS games. Sadly, those aren’t out yet.
I agree the game isn't perfect & there is definitely room for improvement (I mean, even the dev herself admits the game's weaknesses in the fanbook), but there's nothing perfect in this world, and playing Seiyuu Danshi was an enjoyable time to me. The second and third playthrough are definitely more tedious than the first, but I think that's how it goes for most gameplay-based games.
There isn't anything wrong with not liking the game, though! I myself don't like some games other people like (for example, I find myself getting sleepy several times while I played NTY!), but even though you might not like the game, doesn't mean that there aren't others enjoying the game for what it is. I (and I think I'm not alone in this) don't want the gameplay to be drastically reduced or changed, because I enjoy how it is right now. Further improvements on furnitures and dress-up system is definitely a welcome change, though!
Anyway, the dev is making a new game now, and I'm hoping that the dev will overcome the weak part of Seiyuu Danshi in the new game ^^
Anyone can give tocchan route saves? I'm stuck because I want the radio job but I don't got enough money to have all requirements, so I wanna have his cheat ;-;
If you visit the mansion on April Fool's day it triggered a dialogue with Shuu even though I had never met him before this point at all. Not sure why this happened?
I'm not surprised. The game has a lot of continuity issues. They're not annoying enough to break game enjoyment, but they do make things feel out of place, haha. I hope you're still enjoying the game despite this issue! I also hope the game dev will resolve it. I believe they're busy with their other projects though, so I doubt it'd be anytime soon. Oh well, let's hope for the best!

Also how to trigger Shiba's doggy costume?
I acutally have the same question. I bought the Shiba's dog costume from the pink bear, but it's not in the costume inventory when I click on the costume button just before sex in the love hotel. Anyone else have the same problem?
first one: sick shuu - keep visiting him at his house, at some point the scene will happen;
2nd: beach trip CG;
last one: fan meeting
and the shiba's dog costume: dog appears in one of the classes (it'll triggers a CG too), after the dog shows up, the love hotel bear will make you an offer, go to the love hotel at night and the bear will offer you a dog costume (cost: 20k); for the scene to happen, you have to top shiba at least once, after buying the costume, at some point the scene will happen (it took a while to appear for me, so don't worry);
Ok, so I bought the costume from the pink bear and topped Shiba twice, once as a sub and once as a dom, but the costume still doesn't show up in the selection. Am I suppose to top Shiba before I buy the costume?
you have to wait and keep visiting him weekly, at some point it will triggers after being with him in the morning
also i made a cg guide, if you want here's the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xKhE31i0TlpRMTIlMNNtPZ3Iu2E11KtuMTjO7ukU2XM/... ♡
I got it! It took ~50 days of having as much sex as possible but I finally got it! Also, it's visiting him in the daytime after the voice acting lesson, not in the morning. Thank you!
Hey, I saw your guide and in Shuu's route, you get the 6th cg by giving Shuu a blowjob, not the other way around. Thanks for the guide tho! It's a lot of help.
So I bought this game at 51.99 a year ago and now the prize is 32.99? How come there was a price drop?
I was wondering did anyone got an error with meeting Shuu's uncle at the restaurant. I got this error a little after spending Christmas with Shuu

does anyone know how to contact meyaoi? i want to talk to inquire to hi
help now i'm missing 5th tocchan's scene
how to get it?
it's a scene that happens when haato goes to tocchan's house to meet his siblings (for me it happened just to spend as much time as possible with him in the week)
how to get hikaru's 15th cg gallery?
Tell Hikaru via telephone about the fan meet
i got it thx
wait.. how did u get the one with hikaru top haato with doggie style in the first place? tell me cuz i need to know..plz
how to get this CG? this is my last CG for shiba please help
Shiba has to be top and dominate for this to work and he has to initiate the rim job...
finally i got it thx
Hiya, I don't know if someone answered this but in my first gameplay for Shuu route, I got a bad end. I even reach to the superstar and I even fulfilled the heart chart on him.
I also answered the choice that "he should do what he wants to do".
I don't know what I missed out? How can I get him a good or best ending for him?
Question.....How do I top Hikaru in the fireworks festival??
you have to beat him on rock, paper and scissors - save the game first because I think it is random
I did do that, at least thrice, and I lost every time so I wondered if there was something that I had to do so I could beat him XD
So I just have to repeat until I beat him? Okay I'll go and do it again XD Thank you for answering my question~ XD
Btw, how many times did you do before you were able to beat him?
I got it on the third try, I think
just like in the guide (we tied first, then I won)
I'm missing the cgs and the scene reply
If I get these cgs all I need is to get kaede's route and I'm finally done yay
1. Top Tochan
2. Use the rope on Tochan
I got the rope cg yay and for the 1st cg you mean top him for the firs time I think I might be wrong
You can use the rope during foreplay (top or bottom) but you definitely have to top tochan
So for the first cg what you mean top him as in first time
1st pic should be use the rope, but might as well just be a top and get both pics at the same time
Hi how did you manage to open the haato giving tochan a blowjob? thank you so much!!
I cant get into kaede's route I denied his one night stand but I haven't had any more cutscenes im so lost am I missing something
Once you get the scene where Haato says Kaede doesn't come to the pub anymore, carry on as normal until the 1st week of December.
There will be a talkshow job. Take that job and you'll see the rest.
*You must win the seiryuu award
I've been doing my bar job on Monday Friday and Saturday and I'm on October and still no scene yet and I have all my cheats on
What was the last scene? Have you taken him to a hotel after he's drunk?
no I have not gotten that scene yet The only scene I got was him trying to take me to love hotel for a one night stand And I rejected him and I never saw him again.
Then you'll have to keep working at the pub. His schedule isn't fixed, and sometimes he comes after 2 weeks. I usually see him on Sat but might not be the same for everyone. October is rather late though, you'll have to have that last scene of him not appearing at the pub anymore before December or it won't work.
You may have to redo his events with at least the superstar and money cheats so you dun have to worry about auditions and money and concentrate on Kaede's routes instead.
How many tries did it take you to get the drunken confession
Just tried it yesterday, With the cheats in, I started asap and concentrated only on him, so I got the drunken scene as early as a week before April. This time for me he came on Monday and each scene was after 2 weeks
ya I just got it some how. I skipped him seeing hikaru and the hatto masterbation scene don't know if it helped or not but yay. Now all I need is hatto toping tocchan in his office if I can figure how to trigger it then I'll be done with the game. But I'm definitely going to buy the digital fanbook .
And I can't wait for the next game I'm all for cat boy how about you . and also thanks for all your help so far I just like to finish my games at 100%
I know what you mean. I went for 100% myself.
I'm also waiting for the next game. As for my choice... hard to choose, I like so many but cats are my fav. Then again, the shark looks in need of manhandling
Does anyone know how to access the cheat menu?
You start a new game after you choose you name then you can pick as many cheats to use. But it won't work unless you got a happy ending with the characters of that cheat
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P6iYaiVrfa9TLpGbv7B51TocGv3zhcPUK89HzrbKyIw/...
thank you!
Your welcome
I'm missing these cg does anyone know how to get these
1st CG - get it during the summer event
2nd CG - Buy the kitty costume for Toru and have him wear it during the night date *wink*
3rd CG - this one's tricky.
No. 1. go to the maid cafe while on a date with Toru once before No. 2
No. 2. accept 'mister princess' the cross dressing audition while Toru's in the agency at the same time (mine was 12th March)
If done right, Haato and Toru will audition for the same role and make a bet. Loser wears the maid costume. You have to win the audition.
No. 3. Buy the maid costume (M size for Haato)
After that it should show up eventually during one of the night dates. (doesn't matter if Toru is sub or dom, top or bottom)
Do I have to make him wear the maid costume every date night or does it just happen on its own
No need, Haato will eventually wear it
Is it possible to start a completely new game (as if it was your first time playing)? If so, then how?
re download
I finally got into a relationship and we are finally having sex, but now I'm trying to use my foreplay tools and I can't get any of them to stay on the screen long enough to use. Anyone else have this problem?
I just download a game on my MacBook and it say “Seiyuu Danshi” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified ,so how can I fix this.
Head to your Mac settings and head to Security and Privacy, Because Apple had automatically chosen the "Mac App Store and Identified Developers" option you need to change that. Click on the lock on the bottom left hand corner, once you've unlocked it, choose the "Anywhere" option and lock the lock to save your changes, now you should be able to open Seiyuu Danshi with no problem ^^
When I attempt to voice act on EroHero an error opens
This happens to me as well. I can't finish the EroHero part either. Super upsetting!
Could someone tell me the answer of the puzzle in the mansion?
ponpon
Thank you so much~
welcome!
is there a complete/fully detailed guide to this game? that includes what requirements needed for each route and certain cgs to trigger that seem to be easily missable. I missed an aquarium date thats supposedly with Tocchan and its esp hard to keep track of things when youre working on VA skills and missed moments with certain characters. i cant even tell when do special moments trigger exactly i'm really lost.
No there isn't a detailed guide. People say Tocchan is the hardest for some reason and I don't really understand why after beating his route for the first time though tbh. It's not very difficult, at least in hindsight, though I haven't replayed in months.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P6iYaiVrfa9TLpGbv7B51TocGv3zhcPUK89HzrbKyIw/edit
The above link is supremely helpful.
Visit Tocchan in the park, at the market/grocery store, etc. as often as you can.
Call him often. On dates, wear the type of clothes that he likes and touch him in the correct areas and give him the right gifts. But don't slack on auditions and raising your stats in the meantime, do all the above steps again and again until you hit the Lovers status. The quickest I've ever got him to admit to liking MC is in April, game time wise, I believe; for the best ending, wait for him to come to the realization he loves MC without any prodding.
Getting certain CGs unlocked and triggering certain moments requires you to be a seme the entire playthrough or an uke the entire playthrough. Above all, don't get discouraged. If you missed the aquarium date, I'd go back to a previous save file and try again.
I'm replaying the game again to see if I can help you, but if you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask <3
Its working fine but its weirdly voiced. Some things they say are not fully voiced. I think thats a bit of a cop out, or maybe a glitch, so its not FULLY Voiced.
In the demo, when about to do recordings for the BL game (tentacle scene), I get this error.
I have tried reloading an earlier save, and re-installing the demo, but to no avail.

ME TOO. I CAN'T MOVE PAST THIS ERROR.
That scene isn't supposed to be playable during demo.
Ah is the voiced version a demo? I have bought the full game unvoiced as well, but I've never had a problem with anything regarding error messages until recently.
No, the original poster's error was because they play demo version (and that scene isn't supposed to be playable in demo ver).
In your case, I think it might be because you load older version of saves.
I cant get into kaede's route I denied his one night stand but I haven't had any more interactions with him i've been doing my bar job on Monday Friday and Saturday and I'm on October and still no scene yet and I have all my cheats on am I missing something .
is there any 'ignore' choice? if there is, click it till it works again.. I met this error a few times and when i choose ignore, it works again

can someone help me with Tocchan's route?
I'm missing these CG's and and the top and bottom on the left side on the second page:
Please help!
1st: kiss tocchan - do it a lot in foreplay mode until the you get the scene;
2nd: Sub/Bottom Tocchan, first: get the rope - to get the rope you have to do the sidequest of an NPC outside the TV station (needs to have popular status and access to TV station - that is, bribe the guard, spend 50k), and then use the rope (foreplay mode).
-Potential Spoilers-
I am so confused and stuck on kaeda's route. I got up to the part where he doesnt show up to the bar anymore after confessing that he loves the main character. And now its almost november in the game and i haven't seen him in like 5 months. what the heck am i supposed to go its so frustrating??????
That's meant to happen. You should get an audition for a talk show around the first week of December, go for it.
I lost my entire gallery after the update, this is so unfair ToT Only the saves were transferred
Pretty sure reviews via the rating section aren't publicly viewable on this website so I'm posting it in full here for the sake of posterity.
Please take what I'm going to say with a grain of salt. I know there were a lot of hiccups during production. That's to be expected on such an ambitious game. But the reality is, it's a released game at full price and I will judge it as such.
Bugs: Too many for a full price game. None of them, at the time I've downloaded this game, are game breaking but there's a severe amount of continuity errors, visual glitches, and audio glitches where sound effects don't stop at the scene (like sex sounds will play long after the scene is over, or kissing scenes' sounds will carry over until you're at least on the next day--it's unintentionally hilarious when you hear the characters still macking on each other when you're sitting at home trying to play with your cat, but it really takes away from the immersion). This game clearly expects you on a railroad and if you deviate at all (which is easy to do; and the game PRIDES itself on being so open) you've messed up railroaded scenes which will now make no sense. The game developer did not seem to account for the openness they themselves designed. And it's not even convoluted things like going somewhere unusual on April Fool's day and thus unlocking a scene with a character you've never met. It's also as basic as getting your stress level too high. For example on Hikaru's route, when you're only at the acquaintance status with him and you stress out too much, he visits your apartment to take care of you. He shows compassion and a connection you don't have yet. Let alone how he even knows where you live. But such a basic element of the game that's easy to trigger should not have such an in-congruent scene to where you are in the game. It's stuff like this that keeps popping up that I don't understand how it made it into the final release. Did anyone beta test this game? And if you check the comments on this game, I'm not alone. There's numerous errors being reported left and right. For a full price game it has no excuse to be this buggy. This isn't an EA release. At least the creators seem to care, but therein lies the other problem. Patches don't exist. When the game is updated, it forces you to redownload the entire game and figure out how to transfer your save files to the new download any time there's an update. And as buggy as this game is, there's going to be a lot of that if the developer decides to keep updating this game. Frankly I don't understand why some of these updates even exist like the date skipping feature, but I'll talk about this in the replayability section. Another issue is with the sprite layering. I think this is more to do with the engine than anything. I have found when a character exits a scene to leave the background behind, you will see them flash between their clothing layers until it's nude and then it disappears. It happens fast but it definitely happens.
Art: I have to start with just a tiny personal gripe. This game borrows a lot from games that came before it which is a mark that the creators genuinely love this genre and I appreciate that. But why do we not have a body hair toggle option? For a game with so much else you can work with, why didn't we get something as simple to implement as that? None of the characters have hair. I get that's a personal preference thing but for a game with so much variety in the characters and the sex..why is everyone so..naked? I have to say, it causes some of the anatomical art to look silly. Sometimes penises look really great in a way you don't often see in yaoi at all because these games don't appreciate the variety or natural stages of the penis. But at the same time, it also leads to some of the art looking really bland because while the genitals may be drawn beautifully..they have minimal texture and shading and without hair even, it just looks like a slightly developed Ken Doll at times. Also, why does the MC not have a fully drawn butt? In the rear view scenes when changing underwear, if you go bare his intergluteal cleft is just..barely there? I mean I love that he has a flat butt with fascinating line art to the outer shape but why is the crack itself barely drawn?
Gripes out of the way, I like art. It's cute. It's mostly well drawn and fun and the CGs are worth collecting. Not as dynamic as I would prefer but enough to be interesting. I also love the use of the chibis, particularly in erotic content. Games like Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome and No Thank You!!! really did it best, but this game takes that platform and develops it for more use. Maybe it's used a little more than it should be at times but it's cute and I enjoy it regardless. I wish the art in the foreplay scenes was a bit more varied though with better facial expressions and changes to the body itself. It's well done and that's really why I want more. We don't get enough of it in games and so I'd appreciate more of this content. Also the facial expressions of the sprites is dang near perfect. I absolutely adore the sprites more than I have in any other game. It really helps the comedy along, the emotion along, the romance along..it goes a long way to really helping seal the intention of that moment.
Voice Acting: It's good. I'd have liked voice acting in the job scenes too but we get enough to make it fun and interesting. What really matters is the sexual voice acting. And I have to say, I am THOROUGHLY impressed. I've been playing eroge for over 12 years now and I've amassed a growing collection of over 300 games. I've experienced a lot and Seiyuu Sanshi has some of the best voice acting for the sex. Sadly there's not enough dialogue to keep the scene going as long as I'd like though. I mean, let's be real, a vast majority of people play eroge with a specific intent in mind. If your sex scene can't last even half as long as your market can, you're dropped the ball on a crucial element of gameplay. But the moaning, the gasping, the sound effects themselves are fantastic. They are varied, they sound natural, they're not entirely "turn based" so the immersion is really there. Again, another feature I'd have liked is the voice acting to continue without having to sit on that screen. Again, a feature in another game that wasn't implemented here and I wish had been. Having a good mix of dialogue with description would have led to this kind of implementation being useful and combated the issue of short scenes. But the VA for the MC does amazingly well in these sex scenes. You don't often enough hear higher pitched sex sounds from male VAs and it works here. It's so refreshing and sexy and offers a wonderful contrast to the deeper voices of most other characters. I especially can appreciate that HIkaru's voice goes so low compared to his normal speaking voice. having that variety is really fun to listen to. Also just the different ways in which each character communicates their pleasure through these sounds. It's in no way one-note and that's a rare gift.
Plot: A big issue with a lot of stat management games is managing plot with filler. This game has a lot of railroaded scenes, which I appreciate, but many don't feel like they're really advancing much. They're offering minimal characterization, but it's as though the game is requiring you to read into it more than the game itself does. I don't feel as though there's enough give and take from the MC and the love interest about their separate lives and goals. The scenes where Hikaru is wracked with turmoil or stressed by being an idol and the very temporary nature of the career is brought up..but not really explored in any depth. It's such a huge part of who he is, to just leave it hanging with the MC's immature responses..why even have the scenes? Why even go there if you're not really going to GO THERE. It feels like these scenes exist in a vacuum and don't connect to one another like they should. And I know that I'm probably missing some scenes because this is a stat management game and so it's very easy to accidentally miss something (part of why there's so many save slots...that take 30+ seconds to load..), but having a maximum of 2 scenes that build up before dying off as often as it happens is not character development. It's a series of vague plot points that don't connect but the game wants to pretend are deep and world building. And don't even get me started on the NPCs and side quests. Actually, let's talk about that.
Playability: Let me start with talking about the NPCs and sidequests. This would probably be less of a big deal if the game didn't market itself as this being in innovative feature. It's one of many "innovative features" that don't pay off. Virtually none of them matter. The "items for sale" guy at the park, the tv station guard if you're on Hikaru's route, and the model guy for easy money in the beginning are really the only interactions that pay off. Maybe the shrine maiden to get a pet too but you could play the game without that and be fine. The NPC quests largely don't amount to anything useful and don't really add flavor to the game either. Busy work in a stat management game is fine if there's a purpose, but a vast majority of it here serves no purpose. You're better off stalking your love interest than doing any of the side quests. Maybe if there were more items to earn that could be used on EVERYONE it'd make slightly more sense? But as it stands it's pointless. Not to mention, unlike a stat management game like Backstage Pass where your day to day activities and goals differ and vary depending on who you are pursuing, this game it doesn't. Sure there are endings in which you can pursue no one but that makes the game even more pointess because of this simple problem: in Backstage Pass it makes sense and still gives you goals to work toward even if you're solely focusing on your career and not on love; in Seiyuu Danshi..there is no goal because it's the same goal you have no matter who you are pursuing only you have a lot of days of the week you won't do anything at all because you're not pursuing anyone and you will fast run out of stuff to do. Virtually none of the side quests matter. There's absolutely no difference in your day to day activities no matter which route you are on. This greatly affects the replayability as I'll talk about later.
Your end goal is the same no matter what. You want to become famous and you want enough money to pay rent and enough money to visit the hotel once a week so you can have regular sex if you want sex scenes in your eroge. That's it. Those goals do not change AT ALL. Really the only stat you have to care about getting achieved quickly is charm to get the model job because it's a good money source in the beginning before you become known, and getting your fame up fast so you can get into the tv station for more HIkaru scenes to get to his lovers stage before the fireworks festival so you can unlock the sex as early as possible and get the beach date scene. But other than that? Stats? Don't matter. Side quests? Don't matter except if you want to buy sex toys or want the apron for Hachi. Most of this game really doesn't matter and is absurd filler. Again, filler is common in stat management dating sims but this game tries to pride itself on being so open and giving you so much to do..but it's an illusion. It's for the sake of marketing. Most of this content doesn't matter and will lose value after the first game play. It barely has value in the first game play as is.Not to mention, this game also prides itself on a few other features that literally do not matter. Social media? You have maybe 5 status updates all available at once per person from January..after that..nothing. Never updates. Totally useless. Why did you even market this as being part of your game? I get it, it probably WAS a bigger part of the game initially but by the end you didn't use it..but still left it in your marketing pitch?
Phone system..yea..no. You don't really have conversations you can listen to. It's a fade to black. You get maybe 5 text messages you can reply to. You can't send them out willy nilly. Virtually the only use for your phone is minor companionship building to your stats only and to find out when new jobs are posted. You could cut the phone entirely out of this game and it wouldn't change anything. But again, is pitched as being a focal part of the game.
Apartment customization! Cool idea..but..not really used..at all. Aside from buying a computer that won't really do you any good anyway unless you're 1-2 points away from a stat you need to achieve over a Saturday or Sunday, there's no point in customizing your apartment. It literally does nothing for you. Your apartment will be 75%+ empty space no matter what you do. If anything, change the flooring to something that doesn't hurt your eyes because there's so much of it you'll have to stare at all the time because you can't fill your space with anything else. But other than that it's pointless. Just like the underwear which also literally affects..nothing in the game. I haven't even found a way it affects the sex. I would far rather have less features and more depth than a bunch of unfinished projects scattered throughout the game to tease "what could have been". You can say I'm nitpicking harping on things, but notice I'm only harping on the things the game itself markets itself as having as a core feature of the game. I'm not complaining about any other features that didn't pan out because the game isn't selling itself on that basis. I work in sales, I'm no stranger to the accusation of bait n switch marketing..but this game really is just that. It's a bait n switch.
Replayability: What replayability? They put in a skip function to skip days at a time when using a cheat so you don't need money or fame etc. to still get through the game after completing it once. The problem is, unless you've struggled through this game multiple times, you won't have enough cheats to be able to use this feature effectively. It's entirely pointless unless you just want to have save slots to replay sexy scenes..but..the game allegedly has a replay mode for that so..??? Point? This game has no replayability other than pursuing other routes. This is the type of game that probably is better to watch as a Let's Play than to own and play yourself.
In conclusion, I want to recommend this game, I really do but I don't know if I can. I think the biggest pitfall is this game set a bar too high for itself. I've been way more forgiving of far worse games than this because they know their market and their platform. This game tried to do entirely too much and thus set an expectation it just could not meet. I'm nitpicking because this developer has so much potential and they're not going to do better if we just kiss their butts all day about how great the game is. The game is good for what it is and it's quite innovative. But it's not enough. This game tried to take on too much and ended up half-assing all of it as a result. Had this game been edited down and a focus put on the major features it was marketing, it could have been better. Instead we have an incredibly wide, shallow game instead of the depth most crave from a dating sim. Plain and simple, it's not worth this price tag which is going to sound odd with what I'm about to say. It should have cost more and actually implemented the claimed features. But, at the current price tag it's too much unfinished and doesn't feel complete and thus I can't justify the price even though I'd pay more for the complete version. The only reason I'm not requesting a refund is I want to support this developer and I genuinely have gotten many hours out of the game..but they weren't productive or enjoyed hours. I have faith they can do better and will do better in the future games. But this game itself is not worth it at this price point at all. It was way too ambitious for what it could reasonably be and just made everything feel like a let down. There was too much hype, too much build up for what it was supposed to be that it failed on the delivery. It self itself up to have an unattainable image and for a first game it would bound to end up this way.
I agree to most of your points (except for MC's high-pitched voice since I played a purely seme route and it's just... weird to me. But since MC's not really a skin where the players can slip into, I don't pay it much mind. He's still a seke even if you purely play as a top or bottom. And also the chibi part. Personally, I feel it's a weird implementation for the sex scenes. Not hot at all, ahaha. Reminds me of other things. I'll save you the mental image, haha.) Couldn't say it better myself. I wish there's a button to like this comment ^^ (EDIT: Oh ooh, nevermind! Just noticed the upvote/downvote buttons. Haha, new here!)
I like the game, but I do admit that it gets tedious after my first playthrough. It was then that I finally saw through the illusion. It's not a game where you can finish every route before moving on to another game. It's best played with a long interval in between. It's a shame, really. It could have been so much better. I have high hopes for the developer, though. They just shoot too high for their first game, in my opinion.
Anyways, yeah, great review! I hope the dev reads this, takes it into consideration, and improves. Cheers! ^ w ^)/
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I enjoy the NPCs and the "filler" portion that you complained about, but probably that's because I'm a fan of stat raising games in general :p
...And I find Backstage pass really boring, so it's really a matter of taste.
So I read your review and it got me thinking on a few things about the the game.
In terms of the bugs, I myself have actually not experienced any and I’ve played twice, nearly done with my second play through. Nor have I seen any game errors. However, I haven’t done every little bit of the game and haven’t finished it yet. I know there are bugs though and likely a good number, but many have been fixed. I do agree that when putting out a game, especially when selling it, that it’s good to try to catch the bugs. However, I will say that for a game like this, it’s not easy catching every bug and it is there first game. I do think you’re being a bit too harsh in terms of this part. The game is very playable, especially now and it’s silly for one thinking that their would be no bugs in a dating sim game created by a newbie developer. It’s clear the creator is fixing them and that’s good. I’ve seen things like EA and other creators who don’t care if their are bugs or do little about them, so we should be a bit more grateful that she’s fixing them, even if it takes time. As for the patches, I’m not sure you can do them on itch.io, but don’t take my word on that. Yes, it sucks to lose progress. I think that needs to be fixed. And please understand, I do want the bugs to be fixed and prefer a game with little to no amount of bugs, but I’m understanding that this is the creators first game. A
Art- It’s funny. I’ve seen some really dislike the chibi art, others love it. Like you, I like the chibi art even during the sex scenes. And yeah, I too really like the art. I am confused why you think they are too naked? I admit, I do not understand that part.
Voice acting-I admit, I haven’t listened to any of the voice acting. Not that it’s bad, but for some reason I prefer reading it on my own with no voices. I do the same with Camp Buddy. Good to see it’s done well. I’ll say, cause even if you turn off the voice acting you can still hear the moaning when they have sex, is done well. So yeah, maybe it time I give it shot. I just like having my own idea of what they would sound like.
Plot-I’m at half bag with this. I cannot give a full review yet, but I’ve played enough to know what you’re saying. You are right. This is not a plot heavy game. It’s more of fluff, with maybe slight drama depending on who you are played. But yeah, it’s not plot heavy. And I admit, like you I would’ve preferred some more scenes diving into the characters and mc and more plot. However, this game wasn’t made to be a plot heavy game. Would it have been better if it was? Honestly, it depends on the player. Many like fluffy and cute games or need a break from drama. I feel like the game did well when it game with just making a simple slice of life and funny game with romantic elements. I also find the romance okay. I did believe, for the most part, that the pair (whoever you choose) cared for each other. I did like the filler scenes as well. However, I’m gonna guess this game isn’t for you, because you seem to want a more plot heavy game. Problem is, this isn’t that, so I’m sure I can agree with you on that plot. Yeah, the story has issues and isn’t perfect, but isn’t bad and is good for someone wanting a light hearted game. I feel like you have to take that into account.
Playability-I do agree with you on Playability. I’m playing again and not even using cheats, and the only thing I’m wanting is to do the route. Not much else to do, but I’m still not bored, so that’s a good sign. I do feel like we needed more NPC or moments focusing on other characters. Like you, I also wish the phone and computer did more. I was a bit sad about that…It would’ve been fun to text. I guess for me, I’m mixed with Playability. For me, I just want the route and don’t mind if certain things are the same, but I understand those who are upset about. However, please know their are those that like a simple dating sim. Backstage Pass, just is kind of boring to me though. And note, the more focus on stats and NPC scenes, the less focus on the guys. And this had decent focus on the guys. Honestly though, it depends on whose playing.
So, while I agree with some of these points, some people prefer a game that focuses on the love interests. From what I’ve seen, people aren’t too disliking of the dating sim part. It’s fine is their is a single goal. I don’t think games should have to be the same either…But again, it depends on preference.
As for customization I do agree. It wasn’t there. I’m fine not chasing much of the mc appearance, but I wish we had more furniture and clothes and having the mc actually wearing the clothes. And maybe more to do with the furniture? I do agree with this and feel like this part could’ve been very fun if done better.
Replayability- I have a simple answer for this. Don’t use the cheat. Yeah, I’m not planning on cheating either. It will make the game worse for you. Like you’ve said, this game is not meant to be played in one long play through. I admit, I’ve taken my time and sometimes need a break. I would love Replayability though and wish they had it.However, sine we don’t, I’m gonna say don’t cheat. Doesn’t do anything much except make things easier. And honestly, the player should buy the guide if they want an easier game play. And again, this goes with the playability part about how some games focus on the routes even if it’s a dating sim. It doesn’t hold up depending on who the player is. The gameplay wasn’t for you it seems, but I promise you others don’t mind. Again though, depending on the player.
And honestly, it’s a bit depressing you won’t recommend this game. If you think about it, just how many yaoi games are there? Not many. This game isn’t bad and honestly, the stuff you mentioned depends on preference. I wish you’d say something like ‘this game would be good for those or bad for those’ instead of just saying you would recommend. Yaoi games are hard to come buy and you’re making it even more difficult doing like this. And no, I’m not saying recommend bad games, but this isn’t bad. I’ve played much worse games. But I will say, it’s good you still have faith in the developer. And I do understand why you may be disappointed. Maybe for you, a good game would be Camp Buddy. Or one of the other yaoi KS games. Sadly, those aren’t out yet.
You've conveyed what I wanted to say very well!
I agree the game isn't perfect & there is definitely room for improvement (I mean, even the dev herself admits the game's weaknesses in the fanbook), but there's nothing perfect in this world, and playing Seiyuu Danshi was an enjoyable time to me. The second and third playthrough are definitely more tedious than the first, but I think that's how it goes for most gameplay-based games.
There isn't anything wrong with not liking the game, though! I myself don't like some games other people like (for example, I find myself getting sleepy several times while I played NTY!), but even though you might not like the game, doesn't mean that there aren't others enjoying the game for what it is. I (and I think I'm not alone in this) don't want the gameplay to be drastically reduced or changed, because I enjoy how it is right now. Further improvements on furnitures and dress-up system is definitely a welcome change, though!
Anyway, the dev is making a new game now, and I'm hoping that the dev will overcome the weak part of Seiyuu Danshi in the new game ^^
JESUS
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. I CRY DIS IS SO HARDFOR MEH. =-=
Anyone can give tocchan route saves? I'm stuck because I want the radio job but I don't got enough money to have all requirements, so I wanna have his cheat ;-;
I got toru's route and he always reject my invites? Is there any solution?
If you visit the mansion on April Fool's day it triggered a dialogue with Shuu even though I had never met him before this point at all. Not sure why this happened?
I'm not surprised. The game has a lot of continuity issues. They're not annoying enough to break game enjoyment, but they do make things feel out of place, haha. I hope you're still enjoying the game despite this issue! I also hope the game dev will resolve it. I believe they're busy with their other projects though, so I doubt it'd be anytime soon. Oh well, let's hope for the best!
Cheers! ^v^)/
Is there an english-voiced version? All of the voice auditions on youtube I saw were in english, but the version I just downloaded had Japanese.
The original voice actors [The English cast] left the project due to unknown reasons, hence why Meyaoi had to cast a new set of voice actors
Thanks
This happened in Shiba's route while claiming the Santa costume.
How do i get the best ending for shuu and tooru ???
okay, i have to say, this is a major spoiler:
shuu: tell him to do what he wants (and end the show he’s writing for);
toru: accept his confession, buy the ring, propose.
I've buy the game but i don't have a account when i bought the game how can i have the voiced version?
just re-download the game the voiced version is an update not a different thing
