Amid the Pacific War in Tokyo, Mahito Maki misplaced his mother Hisako in a clinic fire. His father Shoichi, an discuss weapons production line proprietor, hitched his late wife's sister, Natsuko, and they moved to her nation bequest. Detached from the pregnant Natsuko, Mahito experienced an unconventional gray heron driving him to a fixed tower, the final known home of Natsuko's planner granduncle.

After a school battle, Mahito intentionally harmed himself. The heron, presently talking, attracted Mahito with guarantees of finding his mother. Mahito was nearly taken by an effective swarm of creatures of land and water, but Natsuko spared him with a yelling bolt, rousing him to form his possess bow and bolt. The bolt was mystically saturated with genuine points after it was fletched with the heron's plume. Mahito's pursuit of a book cleared out by Hisako was hindered when a wiped out Natsuko vanished into the woodland. Driving one of the estate's elderly servants, Kiriko, into the tower, Mahito was betrayed by a watery impersonation of his mother made by the heron, which broke up at his touch. Rankled, he punctured the heron's nose with his bolt, uncovering a flightless animal, the Birdman, living inside it.

Mahito slid into an oceanic world. He was protected from assaulting pelicans and a prohibiting, megalithic dolmen by a more youthful Kiriko, an capable fisherwoman who used fire through an enchantment wand. They captured and sold a monster angel to bubble-like spirits called Warawara, which flew to the world to be resurrected. A pyrokinetic youthful lady, Himi, secured Warawara from predation by the pelicans. A passing on pelican clarified that their species was frantic to outlive after being presented to this world with no other nourishment. Kiriko intervened in peace between Mahito and Birdman, and Mahito stopped Birdman's nose, reestablishing his flight. The two were isolated by human, man-eating parakeets. Himi spared Mahito and showed him an outline of the tower containing entries to numerous universes. They entered an entry driving back to Natsuko's domain and were spotted by Shoichi, but Mahito returned through the portal to proceed his search for Natsuko.

Entering the parakeets' kingdom, Mahito found Natsuko in a birthing room. When Natsuko censured him, he recognized her as his mother. Himi burned the paper assaulting them, but all three were rendered oblivious by the experience. In a dream, Mahito met the wizard, Natsuko's granduncle. The wizard, charmed by a stack of stone toy squares speaking to their measurement, demanded Mahito, having the control of his bloodline, to succeed in custodianship of this world. Mahito took note that the pieces were pervaded with noxiousness. Waking up, he was liberated from detainment by Birdman. They climbed the tower to seek after the Parakeet Lord, who was conveying Himi to the wizard as a political bartering chip. The wizard had assembled substitution squares free of malevolence for Mahito and asked him to construct distant better;a much better;a higher;a stronger;an improved">an improved world with them, but Mahito expressed that he himself had noxiousness, epitomized by his self-inflicted scar. He denied, saying that he must begin to grasp those who adored him.

The Parakeet Lord took the pieces and attempted to construct a more grounded world himself, but the stack was as well unsteady and collapsed. The world began to crumble and surge, and Mahito, Himi, and Birdman got away, rejoining with Natsuko and youthful Kiriko. Learning that Himi was his birth mother, Mahito cautioned her of her destiny, but Himi returned to her claim time without laments. Mahito returned with Natsuko, in the midst of a mass migration of animals returning to non-anthropomorphic shapes. Birdman famously kept Mahito keeping a stone of control and prompted him to disregard his encounters. A charm doll carried by Mahito changed back into the ancient Kiriko. A long time afterward, Mahito moved back to Tokyo with Shoichi, Natsuko, and his unused half-sibling.
