▍ Norn9 Var Commons Story
In Norn9: Var Commons, child prodigy Sorata Suzuhara wanders off from his class on a field trip and blacks out. When he comes to, he finds himself in an unfamiliar place, and encounters a girl who informs him that he’s in Taisho-era Japan!?
She leads him to a ship to help him get home, but it is not a wooden sailing ship, but a round aircraft that flies using technology beyond Sorata’s imagination.
Even stranger, he discovers twelve others, three young women and nine young men, all espers with special powers, on some kind of journey at the behest of a multinational entity known only as The World.
What is the purpose of their journey? What is their destination, and what is The World? Before Sorata can even begin to grasp his situation, the ship is attacked, and the mystery only deepens.
Delve into the story of the ship and its occupants through the point of view of each of the girls, and unravel the mysteries trapped within. Norn9: Last Era continues the team’s adventures in three exciting parts.

Norn9: Last Era is divided into four different stories: Prelude, Concerto, Fuga, and Fantasia.
■ Prelude
This is a story from each of the characters’ points of view. The order in which they boarded the ship is one of the highlights.
■ Concerto
This is the story of the characters after the happy ending of the Prelude perspective. The story of Hiwa, who enjoys the sweet atmosphere of a peaceful couple, and Tsukikage, who overcomes new difficulties together, are different from each other.
■ Fuga
This is a retrospective of the previous story from the perspective of the characters who were attacked. You can learn about their feelings that you couldn’t understand from the heroine’s point of view, and you can also see how they were spending their time when the heroine was not around.
■ Fantasia
A comedic depiction of a “what if” story in which all the characters suddenly became chibi characters.
