Storyline

In Saikin Koi Shiteru?, you play as a 17‑year‑old heroine who can be given any name you like. She transfers to the seaside Seiran Academy and, on her first day, slips into a deep pool that sits right at the school’s entrance. While emerging, she notices strange, floating organisms that look like mitochondria, something no one else seems to see.
It turns out every student and teacher is surrounded by these invisible entities, but only the protagonist can perceive them. She decides to call the creatures "Saikin," a playful nod to bacteria, and quickly learns they react to emotions.
With a mix of curiosity and compassion, she begins to use the Saikin to nudge people’s feelings in the right direction, hoping to help friends and classmates without causing harm.
