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).
