Canaan
On Tokyo MX
A tense action-thriller centered on two women—one an amnesiac survivor, one a gifted assassin—navigating terrorism, conspiracy, and their deepening bond across a single, concentrated 13-episode arc.
Two years ago, Shibuya was ravaged by a biological terrorist attack using the deadly Ua virus. Maria Osawa was saved when her father inoculated her against the virus, but is left with partial amnesia from the shock. She works as a cameraman when she reunites with a girl named Canaan in Shanghai, China. A gifted assassin with synesthesia, she is under orders from an unknown organization for a yet unspecified mission
