After a school fight, Mahito self-inflicts an injury, leading to an encounter with a speaking heron promising to help him find his mother. Nearly captured by a supernatural swarm of toads, Mahito is saved by Natsuko’s whistling arrow. Inspired, Mahito crafts his own bow, fletching the arrow with the heron’s feather to grant it true aim. He is interrupted while reading a book by Hisako when an ill Natsuko disappears into the forest. Mahito and an elderly maid, Kiriko, are deceived by the heron into seeing a watery imitation of Mahito’s mother. Enraged, Mahito pierces the heron’s beak, revealing Birdman inside. A wizard orders Birdman to guide Mahito and Kiriko, and they sink into an oceanic world.
In this world, a younger Kiriko saves Mahito from pelicans and a dolmen using a magic wand. They catch and sell a giant fish to bubble-like spirits called Warawara. Himi, a pyrokinetic young woman, protects the Warawara from pelicans. Kiriko mediates peace between Mahito and Birdman, restoring Birdman’s flight. Separated by man-eating parakeets, Mahito is saved by Himi, who shows him a tower with doors to many worlds. Returning briefly to Natsuko’s estate, Mahito continues his search for her.
In the parakeets’ kingdom, Mahito finds Natsuko and acknowledges her as his mother. Himi incinerates attacking paper, but all three are rendered unconscious. In a dream, a wizard reveals Mahito’s bloodline power and requests him to become the world’s custodian. Mahito rejects this, stating he must first embrace those who love him.
The Parakeet King attempts to build a better world with replacement blocks free of malice, but the structure collapses, causing the world to flood. Mahito, Himi, Birdman, Natsuko, and young Kiriko escape. Himi, revealed as Mahito’s birth mother, returns to her time. Mahito returns with Natsuko as animals revert to their non-anthropomorphic forms. Birdman advises Mahito to forget his experiences. Two years later, Mahito moves back to Tokyo with Shoichi, Natsuko, and his new half-sibling
