[7][8] Guided by a strange, haunting song, elementary-schooler Sorata Suzuhara from the Heisei Era is warped back in time to 1919, in a high-tech ship called Norn9.
This ship, flying above towns resembling that of the Meiji or Taishō period, harbours The Gifted, a group of three girls and eight boys with special abilities.
On March 2, 2014, Idea Factory announced that Norn9: Norn + Nonette has an anime in the works during the "Norn9 with Ark & for Spica" event at Tokyo's Nakano Sun Plaza.
[11] The young boy, Sorata Suzuhara, gets warped back in time after hearing a strange song in his field trip at the museum.
Itsuki, in the men's bath next door, lets a chick servant pass them a ladder lottery to pick a slip for a little game at night, hoping to cheer them up.
Masamune further investigates the traitor in their midst after hearing of Kakeru's ear cuff going missing, touching his bed and using his ability to look into the past, seeing the shadowed face of a man.
Splitting into groups, Akito, Nanami and himself head to town to first get supplies while Koharu, Kakeru, Senri and Sorata enter an old, collapsed building on the ship.
After Akito saves her from some burly men, she recalls how she used her ability to erased his memories of his older brother, someone that he really loved and looked up to a lot.
Luckily, the presence of the barrier proves that she is still alive, and Kakeru finds her scarf tangled in a ladder, allowing Masamune uses his ability.
Natsuhiko explains of their enemy, Shiro Yuiga, a scientist and weapon dealer that caused numerous wars over the world and wants the year 2056 to arrive.
As wars start to break out all over the world, Koharu gets separated after Kakeru goes down a deserted alleyway to find Ron and meets Shiro, the man who gave her her directions to get on Norn9 and whom she nicknamed "the Traveler".
He spots her distantly, but, manipulated by Shiro, she sets fire rampant on the city and force all the teenagers to retreat back to the ship.
Watching a future without Kakeru, Koharu breaks down in tears and rejects the Reset, causing her fire manipulating skills to go out of control.
In the end, Kakeru makes a choice to walk towards the future with her instead of living in one created by other people, and the two share a kiss, breaking the Reset.
The ship collapses and the rest of the teenagers fly off in Norn9's extra, tinier capsules, attempting to rescue Koharu and Kakeru as the two free fall through the sky.
