In response to your comment here:
"...Hi Anon:<br /><br />In response to your comment here:<br /><br />"I am in dire need of reading all of Candy, both original and the final story. My mom loves the animation and I got to know it through her and fell in love. Please help!"<br /><br />I think the only way is to buy the manga if available in English (or whatever your native language is) and also buy the final story in either Japanese, Italian or French. Italian might be the easiest to read because it's quite easy to understand Italian language. There's no official English translation for the Final Story. <br /><br />Hope it helps.Ichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201156394951497511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965752965164284977.post-49841824433352859462023-06-02T18:21:35.537+10:002023-06-02T18:21:35.537+10:00I am in dire need of reading all of Candy, both or...I am in dire need of reading all of Candy, both original and the final story.

Albert became a love that goes further than narcistic and passionate love. It js a love that could go deeper and it makes sense as CC grew older as well.<br /><br />I think that the Asiatic culture is different than ours. Therefore the remarks that are focused on the bad things that happened in life and the open end sounds logic. If the author wanted to really make clear who is CC's husband, she could do this. I think ok purpose the author left the question open so that both Albert and Terry fans could fill out the story they like. It is however sad for us that the final story is not really a final story as we still don't know for sure who is her husband and what finally happened with Terry and Albert.

The best bet would be either to buy the Italian or French versions on Amazon etc, and just glance over the text (Italian ver would be easier to understand, if you don't speak French...). The most accurate one would be to buy the Japanese ver, but the two volumes are very rare. Sometimes eBay has them, quite expensive when I bought them, over USD 100 in total, I think, for two (but I'm glad I have them...). Or just go to Yahoo Auction JP or Rakuma to check them out (you can use Buyee as a proxy to buy them).<br /><br />All the best!Ichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201156394951497511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965752965164284977.post-33433250488338292452022-07-04T01:24:06.310+10:002022-07-04T01:24:06.310+10:00Hi icha, just found your blog and read the article...Hi icha, just found your blog and read the article you wrote.

Thanks a lot for your message. I agree ...Hi Linh, <br /><br />Thanks a lot for your message. I agree with everything you said actually, so thank you for leaving a comment here. <br /><br />As I said in my latest post in this blog (I rarely update it anymore, as you can see), I am still certain that Anohito is Terry, and that is not just backed up by logic, but also by my increasing understanding of Japanese language. It's hard for me to see Albert as Anohito when, in her present day, Candy was still reminiscing about the warmth of Terry's chest was still pulsating wildly within her... It's also hard for me to see Albert as Anohito (as much as I love Albert) when Candy is stating in present tense that she loves Terry's deep voice. So, yes, I still firmly believe - and not just based on faith, but based on logic - that Terry is anohito.<br /><br />But your comment about the Prince of the Hill made me realise how true it is. I never thought of it, but yes, JP shojo manga loves about this true love... it's indeed romantic... My latest blog creation is dedicated for a novel, manga and anime about a couple who met years ago when the girl was a little girl - the boy is an oni haha! However, for their story, this first love = true love works. <br /><br />yet, to me and you, it doesn't work for the Candy romance. But now I understand why Albert was presented as Candy's final love by the manga editors... I disagree with it, but now I understand it. Thanks for that. <br /><br /><br />Ichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201156394951497511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965752965164284977.post-88679500681149461982021-05-07T10:00:49.894+10:002021-05-07T10:00:49.894+10:00I have revisited Candy Candy again (a practice I d...I have revisited Candy Candy again (a practice I do every year) and found your blog. I guess one of the reasons I keep coming back to the manga is the regret of what happened between my OTP Candy x Terry. This relationship, to me, gave the most character development in the entire story. Terry would probably never make it to Broadway or make up with his mum or even be the responsible guy he is to Susanna without meeting Candy. Candy would be stuck with the grief of Anthony's death if Terry didn't force her to look forward and move on. They started with opposite attraction, then they were parted and found their ways to each other while walking their own paths to pursue something meaningful for them. I come back to the story wishing things would change about Susanna, she confessed and was rejected. What else could she have done? If it weren't for the accident... If she didn't lose her leg... I feel the pain of Terry being tied down with responsibility with someone he doesn't love. I feel the pain of Candy understanding that Terry can't do otherwise. <br />I miss and treasure their short time at St. Paul's School, how they met, how they helped each other out, how they started to understand each other and how they slowly fell in love. <br /><br />It's a shame about the conflict between the author and the illustrator. I wish they would stick to the story that Keiko Nagita came up with. But I kinda expected the Prince on the hill to show up as Japanese shoujo mangas are super fixated on the ideal of true first love. I just wish Candy would be happy with the one who made her heart flutter, whom she was passionate about.
