● Story ●

The marimo of Lake Akan once lived peaceful lives.
However, rising water temperatures and a lack of sunlight drastically reduced their numbers. With help from humans, they recovered and began to thrive again.But after many years, the lake suddenly turned into seawater, wiping out much of its ecosystem. Invading species from the sea threatened the survivors, pushing the marimo to the brink of extinction.Then, mysterious glowing particles appeared underwater, driving creatures into a frenzy… and granting new power to the remaining marimo.(This story shares the same world and timeline as the previous title, "Marimo-VS-IAS," but can be fully enjoyed on its own.)
