[[File:canaan-maria.jpg|frame|Canaan & Maria]]
Neophyte professional photographer Maria Osawa travels from Japan to Shanghai to report on the annual festival, where she also hopes to meet Canaan, a mysterious [[Action Girl]] who saved her life a couple of years ago and has been [[Les Yay|fascinating]] her ever since. However, things get ugly when a [[Nebulous Evil Organization]] targets Maria. Known as the "Snakes", they are led by Canaan's [[The Rival|arch]]-[[Foe Yay|rival]] Alphard and are somehow involved with the "Ua Virus"--the biological weapon that left Maria the only known survivor of the deadly Shibuya terrorist attack. Fortunately for Maria, Canaan [[Big Damn Heroes|shows up to save her]] again, much to her (and [[Yuri Fan|the fans']]) excitement.
 
''[[Canaan]]'' is an anime series based upon a scenario from the [[Wii]] mystery [[Adventure Game]] titled ''428: Fuusasareta Shibuya de'' ("In Locked-down Shibuya"), which (the scenario, not the whole game) was created by Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi of [[Type Moon]] fame (at which point many tropers rush off to leech it from the Internet, no further questions asked). Since the game is really obscure outside of Japan (its notability in the West basically being "that [[Visual Novel]] ''[[Famitsu]]'' gave a 40"), here's a [httphttps://replayweb.waybackmachinearchive.org/20090601184300web/20090709013927/http://www.akiba-ch.com/?p=902 detailed synopsis] of ''428'' in English.
