Plot [edit]

The Candy Candy manga provides a story for the shōjo demographic. Candy, an abandoned orphan taken in past the orphanage Pony's Dwelling house almost Lake Michigan effectually the outset of the 20th century,^[4] spent the first years of her life at the orphanage, to where she would ofttimes return to repose and to make up one's mind her next course in life. When Annie, her best friend at the orphanage, was adopted, she ran outside crying and met briefly a male child who told her not to cry. Candy retained fond memories of the boy and, not knowing his name, remembered him as the "Prince on the Loma". The male child volition have great influence and importance in her life later on.

When she turned 12, Candy was taken in by the Leagan family unit equally a companion for their daughter Eliza and her blood brother Neil. The Leagans treated her poorly and somewhen fabricated Candy a servant girl. When the Leagan family defendant Candy of stealing and sent her off to work in their family unit farm in Mexico, Candy was rescued from beingness sent to United mexican states past William Ardlay, the sole heir of the very wealthy Ardlay family and the owner of the Ardlay manor. William Ardlay became Processed's tutor until she would reach adulthood, but his true identity remained a mystery and she would not meet him until the stop of the story. He was as well the uncle of Candy's get-go love, Anthony Brown, and a relative of Anthony's cousins, the Cornwell brothers Archibald (Archie) and Alistair (Stear), also every bit the Leagan children.

After, Anthony died in a hunting accident when he was thrown off the horseback. Thereafter, Processed, along with Archie and Stear, and the Leagan children, were sent to London to attend the prestigious St. Paul's College, a secondary school, where she met Terrence (Terrius/Terry) Granchester, the illegitimate kid of a British Duke with American Broadway actress Eleanor Baker. Candy once saw him crying on the same boat she was taking to London from America. Terry was allegedly her "2d and grand beloved that cannot bear fruit" (in the words of the author Keiko Nagita/Kyoko Mizuki in essays believed to exist constitute on Misaki's website).^[five] Circumstances divided the pair when Eliza Leagan schemed to have Processed expelled from St. Paul's past manipulating them into a scandal.

After the scandal, Terry left St. Paul'south to protect Candy'due south reputation and pursue his aspiration to become an role player, but Candy also decided to exit soon after. They would both embark on their individual life journeys forrad in the United States, where Candy trained to become a nurse in Chicago around the time of Earth War I,^[4] and Terry pursued a career every bit a rising star actor in New York. An actress and colleague in his theater troupe, Susanna, became attracted to Terry. During a rehearsal session, an accident occurred and Susanna saved Terry'due south life, but in the process became disabled. Her injury destroyed her interim career. Susanna became depressed and attempted to commit suicide every bit she did not want to be a burden to anyone and her career was ruined. Feeling responsible, Terry was torn between reuniting with Candy and his concern for Susanna. When Candy discovered what happened without Terry e'er telling her beforehand, she decided to sacrifice her own happiness and left Terry. Processed knew that Terry would remain with Susanna equally this was the decision he had already made on his own accord without ever consulting with Candy.^[6]

After, Candy returned to Chicago to continue her life. By chance, she became the nurse and caretaker to Albert, who lost his memories after a World War I related flop explosion on a train in Italian republic. Candy and Albert decided to live together and their cohabitation lasted for several years during Albert's amnesiac country. Yet, Albert ultimately regained his memories and revealed his true identity to Processed. At the terminate of the story, Candy discovered that he was too the Prince on the Hill. Their relationship had moved on to a different level during their adulthood. In Italy, still, the anime'southward catastrophe was changed albeit without the endorsement of Keiko Nagita and TOEI productions. Based on this unofficial Italian version, Processed and Terry meet over again at a train station deciding to stay together. This ending, however, is simply based on fanfiction and not on any official publication past the writer or her agent, therefore, never achieving any international acclaim or official recognition.

In 2010 the novel "Candy Processed The Final Story" was re-edited by Mizuki using her real name Keiko Nagita. In this revised novel based on an earlier 1970s text, Candy discovers that Suzanne died when reading about it in the newspaper. At an undefined time, Processed receives a notation signed with the initials "T.Yard.". Admitting never confirmed in the text itself, these initials are allegedly ascribed to the stage player, Terry Graham. He no longer uses his father'due south surname "Granchester" as he had renounced it upon his divergence from the UK several years ago. The note itself is obscure and thus open to a multitude of interpretations. The novel ends with Candy in her mid-30s living with the man she loves during the Interbellum. The identity of this man is never revealed in the text and in that location is no testify indicating who this character is. In improver, there is no indication whether Candy is married or not, employed or has children of her own. All the reader knows is that she is happy to be with the man she loves-whoever he may be.

In that location were some plot and character differences between the manga and the anime:^{[ citation needed ]} Candy's age was different for several events when she grew up at Pony's Home. In the manga, she was six or seven years quondam when she met her Prince of the Hill, but was 10 in the anime. Her sidekick pet raccoon Kurin/Clint belonged solely to the anime version.

Of particular interest is the 3rd volume, which covers the catamenia subsequently the events chronicled in the manga and anime.^[7] The novels accept been translated in their entirety by Western fans but the translations confirmed that, truthful to her creative form, Kyoko Mizuki did not provide concrete closure to the story. Withal, in the concluding letter that closed out the novel, Candy was even so an optimistic, life-loving and cheerful heroine.

In 2010, Kyoko Mizuki, nether her real name Keiko Nagita, revised and published the "Candy Processed Final Story" (CCFS). CCFS was published in two volumes and non three volumes every bit the earlier novels. She announced that this was her try to tell the story as she always intended from the outset, without the influence of the manga illustrator or the manga production team.^{[ citation needed ]} Most of the plot of the story remained the aforementioned. Changes were made mainly to details of descriptions to scenes. Mizuki also replaced the children hiragana form writing of the earlier novels with more than mature kanji class of the writing and fabricated the style of CCFS more than poetic. She did, however, add together a few major new developments to CCFS. In CCFS, Susanna had died from a chronic affliction years after Candy and Terry had separated. Information technology is not said in the CCFS whether Candy responded to a notation she had received which had been signed with the initials "T.M.". It is alleged that this note may belong to Terry Graham but that is never confirmed in the text nor is it specified whether Candy responded to that letter or not. Then the novel proceeds with the concluding department known as the "Epilogue" where a serial of letters are exchanged between Processed and Albert. Candy includes a recollection of her (unsent) letter to Anthony where she reflects upon her life thus far.^{[ commendation needed ]} Keiko Nagita also added a last scene where Candy, in her thirties and living in an unknown place nearly a river called Avon, greets her beloved equally he enters their home. The human being's name is never revealed, but Nagita said that she was satisfied knowing that Processed now lived a happy life with that mystery man.
