Kanon tells the story of Yuuichi Aizawa and his return to his perpetually snowy hometown after eight years. The issue is that Yuuichi has no recollection of his time there or the people he encountered, so he must gradually start to remember everything. Naturally, as this is a love story, Yuuichi meets several girls, including his cousin Naiyuki, the taiyaki-obsessed Ayu, the silent Mai, the cute yet aggressive Makoto, and the terminally ill Shiori.
