Another good series that has ended.
Canaan was based off the scenario that was created for the Nintendo Wii visual novel 428: Fūsasareta Shibuya de.
In the present day, terrorism is on the rise and the Ua Virus* – a biological agent with a 100% kill rate – has been unleashed into the populace. In Shanghai, Canaan is a near-unstoppable soldier who roams the streets, always in the path of a bullet. She is a Synesthetist – a person able to use all five senses at once – who harbors a burning desire for revenge and has a past shrouded in mystery. While the Ua Virus infects more people in the city, others cross paths with Canaan including Minoru, a freelance journalist; Maria, Canaan’s close friend who was infected with the Ua Virus and lost her memory of the incident; and The Snakes, a shady and violent group with mysterious motives. Danger lies at every turn for Canaan and ultimately the rest of mankind.
*Terms for victims infected with the UA Virus:
- Borner: Borners are individuals infected with the Ua virus but managed to survive. As a result, their bodies mutate and possess unusual abilities, with few exceptions (Yunyun, who gained an extra appendix due to the infection, does not have any special ability, for example). When someone becomes a Borner, blood vessels from a random part of his/her body would surface to form a mark with the shape of a flower. In order to suppress the virus, Borners require regular intakes of a special medication, or they will still die.
- Unbloom: Unblooms are also victims of Ua virus infections who survived before the advent of the anti-virus. They, too, have blood vessels from a random part of their bodies surfacing to form a mark with the shape of a flower. Unlike Borners, however, they did not gain any special ability or otherwise mutate except that they become deathly vulnerable to UV rays and outside noises. Those individuals who venture outside the Factory must wear masks that look like a mascot head costume (and serve to shield the wearers from the afore-mentioned hazards), the removal of which invariably ends up killing them.
Another way of looking at the series: it takes you through the twirls and whirls of people that were affected by the UA Virus that was distributed by the organization Snake.

Howdy Folks!
Miss ya. How the heck have ya been? So who’s watching what of the new season? Thus far, I’ve only picked up three: Cat Shit One, HS of the Dead and Shiki. Slowing down working too much because:
1. The more I work, the more “crankier” I’m getting in this dang heat wave… 
2. Even though I’m working crazy hours, the bills are still piling up. Like didn't I just pay this bill?! Why is back again?!?!
3. Put off going to see the Parent until Fall. If NY heat is something, imagine going to the South! No way! 
They still love me though!
4. 
After spending much "webbing" time on my other site, I'm now going to give attention to this site! 
Yay!
And now I think I'm done! 
Gotta get your read on!
Tha MangaWhore Manga Hit List:
Manga in tha Spotlight:
Ao no Exorcist
This world consists of two dimensions joined as one, like a mirror. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah. The other is the world of demons, Gehenna. Ordinarily, travel between the two, and indeed any kind of contact between the two, is impossible.
However the demons can pass over into this world by possessing anything that exist within it.
Satan is the god of demons; but there's one thing that he doesn't have, and that's a substance in the human world that is powerful enough to contain him!!
For that purpose he created Rin, his son from a human woman, but will his son agree to his plans? Or will he become something else...? An exorcist?
Recommend Asian Drama Pick:
Moyashimon Live Action
Moyasimon follows the life of Tadayasu Sawaki, a first-year college student at an agricultural university, who has the unique ability to see and communicate with micro-organisms and bacteria.
Additionally, these organisms look much different to him, and much larger, than what can be seen under a microscope by normal people. This ability has brought him a bit of fame as when he entered the university, Tadayasu discovered that one of the professors there, Keizō Itsuki, already knew about his gift via Tadayasu’s grandfather.
Professor Itsuki’s coworker Haruka Hasegawa has trouble believing what Tadayasu claims at first, but later comes to accept it.
