The story takes place a little in the future. Guided by one particular song, young elementary school student Suzuhara Sorata, from the Heisei Era, is warped through a time skip to an unfamiliar place that looks much like the towns from the Meiji or Taishou period from his textbooks. In this world, he meets three young ladies and nine young men and joins them on a journey aboard the mysterious Norn ship, a giant globe that floats in midair.
Otomate made the announcement at the "Norn9 with Ark & for Spica" event at Tokyo's Nakano Sun Plaza on 2nd March 2014.

Where it came from
Norn9 was produced by studio Kinema Citrus and aired in 2016 as an adaptation of the popular otome visual novel developed by Otomate and Idea Factory. The series emerged from a landscape where developers were increasingly expanding their interactive digital narratives into multi-media franchises, seeking to capture the growing audience for character-driven historical fantasy anime.
The character designs were originally crafted by Teita, who brought a distinctive, lush aesthetic to the source material that the animation team sought to translate to the screen. While the visual novel was praised for its complex branching paths and ensemble cast, the anime adaptation received a polarized reception, with critics often noting the challenge of distilling such a dense, multi-perspective narrative into a standard television run.
