Thank you for this wonderful website dedicated to Candy Candy and for relieving me of my incurable curiosity to find out if Candy will ever be happy. I was going mad thinking that she will never be with Terry. I hope that someday there will be a wonderful remake of this beautiful love story.

I actually watched anime three times at different age and I need to say that I could never accept Terry's marriage with that girl. She wanted happiness but also was selfish in a way.She saved him because she loved him then tried to suicide...I can see it only as selfishness. I was happy to read final story, but I was dissapointed that she really didn't point the name of a person. I always thought that Albert was more like a father figure since she never had such and Terry is much better fit for her.He has changed for her,he grew as a personality, he loved her deeply . But I don't like the fact that "her prince" was Albert and that triggers my doubts if "that person" was really Terry.
Honestly I prefer to think it was Terry, but since author didn't point name...it leaves a space for free choice. She wrote it mostly to show that Candy found her love and family,but argh no name of him.

Hi Julia, thank you for your message. We, too, are very disappointed Nagita chose to keep the identity of "that person" undisclosed. When we met her at the Paris book fair in 2019, she said the her focus is Candy, not who she ended up with. To all the fans who asked, whether Terry fans or Albert fans, her answer was always, "your imagination". But the new clues she left in CCFS convinced us That Person cannot be anyone else but Terry.

Hi!
Today by chance I found your page and I found myself fascinated. Such an extensive work of research, it shows a lot of passion. I really admire it.
I have taken the time to archive the whole website and most of the linked forum posts on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. So your work can keep on living even if you ever have a problem keeping the website alive.
Have a wonderful week!

Thank you for such a great amount of material for Candy candy fans! As a young girl in the 80s, she was one of my most iconic characters during the informative years of my life. The romance and life lessons captured my heart.
Going down a rabbit hole for the last couple of days and because I found out about the new material released in 2010 by the writer Keyko Nagita, I was hopeful Candy would be reunited with Terry….but alas, after reading everything Nagita has said and your great research and explanations of everything …
I am convinced Nagita’s preference for Candy’s “Anihito” is her favourite character Albert…
first and foremost (1) she blatantly says that he is her favourite character,
secondly (2) as a woman very immersed in literature myself have seen over and over again the perpetuation of what it could be considered archetypical now for girls coming of age stories into womanhood: a puppy love, a love full of angst and fire that gets a girl into womanhood and the everlasting amicable love that makes a woman want to marry them and usually are also perceived as mentors/friends/mature. I do NOT subscribe to this archetype at all, but I have seen all too many times and Nagita loves tropes and stereotypes…
3) the end of the manga heavily suggests that under everything Albert was the ever-present person for Candy, her prince of the hill whatever she called him and although to me this is creepy honestly Albert having-so many “alter egos” and a red flag, many would consider it romantic including Nagita given her background and culture
4) Nagita’s culture accepts (and to my surprise promotes in anime) huge age gaps between men and women still, father-daughter or mentor-daughter relationships becoming romantic once the girl is of age, basically what we would consider grooming or inappropriate. I find it unethical and patronising but I don’t think Nagita has such qualms as obvious from all other anime i have been following recently. There is something incredibly romantic and tantalising to them to pair still in the 20th centrury very young women with the first old mature guy they come across that cares for them. And because a western country on 2010 would find Candy/Albert problematic and Nagita indeed wanted to please all fans she left it open to interpretation but deep deep inside her she wants Albert to be with Candy…
5) daffodils are in her garden (well first of all in gardens in uk we have daffodils lol) but there are there to signify that although some loves are left behind we always carry those people inside of us.
Would love discussion on my points! I hated Albert to be Candy’s endgame by I am very much afraid that in the creator’s head and intention very much is….
Thank you!

Hello! 😀
As someone born after 2000’s, I feel sad that I hadn’t discovered this fandom sooner. I stumbled upon my mother’s old Candy Candy manga collection (she was a huge fan but hated the ending) and binged the comics as a child, and to be honest, I didn’t understand most of the story. I was less than ten years old, I could barely read!
But recently, I’ve been rereading the series and I definitely understand much more of all the conflicts and emotions involved in this long journey of a story. I LOVE IT! This story made me feel like I’ve lived another life as Candy. I felt for her, cried, laughed, fell in love, swooned, mourned, reflected... all because of this fictional world and these fictional characters. This story has almost all—if not all—the cliché’s in history: the poor and the rich, love triangles, the bad boy and the good girl, amnesia, lessons about life... no other story can compare. I’m so very attached to Candy Candy!
Then I thought: Ah, how nice it would be if there were more active fans now, especially on social media like Twitter, so I can fangirl with them. Not knowing how to deal with the post-Candy Candy hangover, I turned to the vast Internet and stumbled upon this site. I’ve yet to read everything here, I’ve decided to take my time and savour these pieces.
I would like to thank you for creating and putting so much effort into this site! Thank you for making me feel less alone about my love for Candy Candy. Also, thank you for giving me more reasons to ship Candy and Terry. Truth be told, this is my favourite ship out of all three. I’m glad I found you!
Love,
Just Another Fan <3

Hi there! Thanks for the message. ❤️ We're so happy to hear there's a CT fan from a younger generation. The Candy Candy story has some tropes that are outdated for your generation, but when we were growing up (probably the same as your mother's time), it was a very forward story and Candy's independence and resilience inspired a whole generation of girls around the world who watched her. And we love Terry! You cannot imagine the agony we lived through with the original ending, and we didn't have the internet for a long time so we had to live with that agonizing heartache for years until we grew up and the internet came along for us to gather online and share our memories. Thankfully, Keiko Nagita released CCFS in 2010, and finally helped us to find the closure we need.
We're glad you found us. We hope you'll enjoy the rest of our site. We have more English translations coming, and more essays and theories on Anohito for Terry fans to enjoy.
All the best from the Terry's Angels

Thank you for this site! Wonderful memories of a childhood favorite. Please tell Ms. Keiko Nagita that there will be a market for the English translation - there are so many Candy Candy fans here in the Philippines who want to know what happened!

Meanwhile, come back to our website soon as we are doing unofficial translations of some chapters and excerpts in English, and our translations are done by a professional translator.
