About Anime Shop Simulator
Anime Shop Simulator is a first-person shop management game from One More Time, the studio behind Tavern Manager Simulator. You stock manga, figures, and collectible cards, then grow a tiny boutique into an otaku hangout — solo or in 4-player online co-op. A free Steam demo has been live since February 2026; the full game is scheduled for 11 September 2026. Start with the getting started guide, then check shop layout, TCG cards, and the product tier list.
