Everyone knows that teenage love comes with both sweetness and pain. In the midst of the city’s hustle and bustle, the protagonist secretly confesses his feelings to his classmate Serika over social media. But what he gets in return is a merciless rejection. And when that’s accompanied by teasing from those around him, it’s no wonder his heart is left in tatters. The story begins with this setback, but “Seifuku Kanojo” takes it a step further. A boy with a hole in his heart sets out on a journey of self-discovery and new encounters in a new city: Fukuoka.

The stage is set in Fukuoka, a city famed for its beauty. Following advice from his uncle, Mamoru Igisu, a publishing company president, the protagonist decides to transfer schools. He connects with three unique high school girls, with the theme of “uniforms” serving as the central motif. At first glance, “uniforms” and “romance” might seem like an odd combination, but in fact, they’re closely tied to the turbulent emotions of adolescence. Through the “fleeting sparkle of the moment” embodied by uniforms, the protagonist and each heroine share their true feelings in ways that are surprisingly emotional.

Players can freely set their name and zodiac sign, which enhances the sense of self-projection. Even small touches like horoscope lines that change based on your zodiac add a personal feel. The story branches depending on your choices, letting you pick your date partner using LIME, decide on date locations, and more. This isn’t just a linear story but a highly flexible narrative. Your decisions can bring you closer to a heroine or trigger unexpected developments, making it easy to become emotionally invested.

Another highlight of “Seifuku Kanojo” is the in-game social media app “Constagram.” You can open it anytime to browse the heroines’ posts or send them likes, and these small actions subtly affect later parts of the story. This kind of feature means it’s not just about dialogue choices; even your little interactions add depth to the narrative. With its blend of modern romance sensibilities and realistic human relationships, the game delivers an immersive experience that feels like falling in love for real.

“Seifuku Kanojo” is a story that gently heals hearts hurt by love while giving you the courage to trust others again and look toward the future. Who would have thought that the simple motif of a school uniform could add such depth and color to a narrative? If you want to experience a youth rebirth drama or wish to draw closer to someone’s heart, you should dive into this story.
