Kanon

Kanon

Kanon is Key's 1999 visual novel, the studio's debut and the game that set the template for its tear-jerker romances, following Yuichi Aizawa's return to a snowbound town and the five girls whose forgotten pasts tie into his own. Two TV anime adaptations (2002 and Kyoto Animation's 2006 version) keep the cast familiar to Western fans, and Good Smile Company's Nendoroids of heroine Ayu Tsukimiya resurface as reruns every few years.
