''Seiyuu Ka-!'' is a 2009 {{shojo}} manga series by [[SpecialA Maki Minami]].

* CrazyJealousGuy: Shuu towards Mizuki. Somewhat justified in that he knows that [[ReplacementGoldfish Hime]] [[YouRemindMeOfX reminds Mizuki of]] [[DeadLittleSister Sana]], and he doesn't want Mizuki to get hurt.

* TheDulcineaEffect: Mizuki develops this for Hime and really wants to support her whenever the latter needs help rehearsing lines or if anything's troubling her. It helps that Hime [[YouRemindMeOfX reminds him of]] [[DeadLittleSister Sana]].

* BadBadActing: Hime. She's genuine about wanting to be a ''seiyuu'', but her voice sounds gruff and scratchy while acting.

* LivingADoubleLife: From Volume 3 onward, Hime must maintain a double life as a [[SweetPollyOliver "male"]] ''seiyuu'' named "Shiro."

** After hearing Hime's mother blatantly call Akane as her "perfect daughter" and "more capable than Hime," Haruka defends Hime and firmly states that the person that he's interested in for dubbing is Hime. He even considers lending her a shoulder to cry on and {{pinky swear}} [[ThePromise promises]] her that he will help make her dream come true. Of course, the last bit gets double subverted when it turns out that Haruka tricked Hime into agreeing without a guarantee that he'll come true with his part of the deal, but it's shown that Haruka is quite determined to help Hime get recognized as a ''seiyuu''.

* SinkOrSwimMentor[=/=]TricksterMentor: Haruka to Hime. Mizuki hints that Haruka treated Shuu and him similarly when they first started being ''seiyuu'' too.

* SweetPollyOliver: A variation. Haruka decides to market Hime as a male ''seiyuu'', and for her to keep her contract with him, she must dress up and live as a boy at her apartment and pretend to be one whenever she's dubbing at the studio while only being a girl while she's at school.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Hime first crossdresses to pretend to be Tsukino's "boyfriend" and save her from getting harassed by an unwanted suitor. She later crossdresses as her alter ego [[SweetPollyOliver Shiro]] in order to be marketed as a ''seiyuu'' by Haruka.

* [[HappilyMarried: Senri and Hime in the epilogue.]]

* PrincelyYoungMan: Mizuki is a YamatoNadeshiko type, Shuu is more of a PrinceCharming type, and Senri is an IceKing type.

* CuteShotaroBoy: Shiro is often mistaken for an elementary school student due to her looks.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Senri and pretty much everyone else [[RunningGag constantly]] mistake Shiro for an [[CuteShotaroBoy elementary student]].

** Senri (and other people) mistaking Shiro for an [[CuteShotaroBoy elementary school student]].

Fifteen-year-old [[PluckyGirl Hime Kino]] has started her first year of high school at a ''{{seiyuu}}'' (or voice actor) school, Hiiragi Academy, the number one school to get voice actors debuted and among the students are celebrities, including two {{teen idol}}s from Idol Unit "Aqua"--[[CrazyJealousGuy Shuuma]] [[HotBlooded Kawai]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners and]] [[DoggedNiceGuy Mizuki]] [[TheDulcineaEffect Haruyama]]--and [[TroubledButCute Kudou]] [[{{Tsundere}} Senri]], a rising star to fame. Hime dreams of one day being a seiyuu on one of the most popular anime series in Japan--[[MagicalGirl "Mahou Senshi Lovely Blazers,"]] but that proves to be a problem as her voice isn't quite [[BadBadActing suitable]] for that of a ''seiyuu''. In spite of this, Hime is determined to prove that she can be a ''seiyuu''.

When Hime displays an uncanny potential to be a ''seiyuu'' using a "prince-like" voice that captivates audiences, Aqua's producer [[BadBoss Haruka]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Yamada]] takes notice in the girl and eventually decides to produce Hime as a ''seiyuu''--with a ''catch'': Haruka wants to market Hime as a "male" ''seiyuu'' under the name "Shiro." Hime must [[{{Crossdresser}} crossdress]] [[SweetPollyOliver as a boy]] while dubbing at the studio; if her [[LivingADoubleLife double life]] identity is found out, her contract is cut. Hime is initially reluctant to masquerade as a male ''seiyuu'' when her dream is to become a cute "Lovely Blazer" like her idol (and Senri's mother) Sakura Aoyama, but she agrees to reach her dream.

* HairDecorations

** [[TheDulcineaEffect Mizuki and Hime]]: Mizuki's interest in Hime began due to her similarity to Sana, but he grows to be a constant support to her and always wants to give Hime a helping hand. Mizuki ''does not'' like it if Tooru wants to spend time with Shiro and actively tries to keep Shiro away from him. They even nearly share a rehearsal kiss before Mizuki kisses Shiro's forehead instead. In Chapter 38, Haruka suggests that Mizuki cares about Hime.

* ChasteHero: Takayanagi, who turns out to be "innocent" and "shy" around girls that any romantic contact or suggestion will send him blushing and running off, such as his interactions with [[ShrinkingViolet Tsuriko]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Ume]]. Hilariously enough, [[{{Tomboy}} Hime]] notices that he doesn't act this way around ''her''.

** BrownEyes: Hime, Tsuriko, and Mizuki.

Haruka may or may not have feelings for Hime. Ume initially perceives Takayanagi as her "prince," only to no longer think of him as it once her fantasy of it shatters, only for them to gain quite a bit of {{ship tease}} together.

* RescueRomance: Mizuki first get interested in Hime after she asks him if she could borrow his uniform so she could pretend to be Tsuriko's "boyfriend" and rescue her from an unwanted suitor. This trope is also Ume's definition of moe.

** Tsuriko putting "curses" on people.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Hime first crossdresses to pretend to be Tsuriko's "boyfriend" and save her from getting harassed by an unwanted suitor. She later crossdresses as her alter ego [[SweetPollyOliver Shiro]] in order to be marketed as a ''seiyuu'' by Haruka.

* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs

* CutenessProximity: Senri has an uncanny soft spot for small animals, especially [[EverythingsCuterWithKittens cats]].

It's to the extent that in later chapters, Senri will impulsively hug Hime tightly if his "vision" of her turns out a cat, only to later push her away and deny his affectionate gesture.

* TheLibby: Ume Ichijou. She gets better.
