Synopsis

Candy Candy is primarily a love story. Candy's first love was a character named Anthony Brown, but the series is remembered by the majority of fans as a result of her heartbreaking separation from her true love and soulmate, Terruce "Terry" Grantchester (side note: Lord Grantchester - there is current a member of the British House of Lords, with the title). A recurrent story arc in the series is the "Prince of the Hill", a mysterious boy Candy encountered once as a child. (Source: Wikipedia)

Caught this anime and manga series when I was a kid, the impression it left... Long lasting after all these years. And I still laugh and cry with it regardless how many times I'd watched it.

As this is quite a long series, you can see characters develop; who eventually mature to become better persons (thou not all became better ;P). I think the series emphasized strongly on themes such as love, friendship, positivity, generosity and perseverance etc; which importance transcend age and time.

This is truly an all time classic (I hope my children will watch and learn from it someday).

(just for the record, this is a slight alteration of my anime review)

STORY SECTION: 7/10 [Hard to swallow but digests nicely.]
If you are not accustomed to melodramatic stories, you will definitely hate it. It is filled with Deus Ex Machina situations, were every plot twist is either too good or too bad to be true.

In the beginning of the 20th century, a baby girl is abandoned in the doorstep of an orphanage. The girl was named Candice (Candy for short) and was raised by nuns, along with other orphans. The first part of the story is her happy life there, making friends and read more

Same author. The female protagonists are really similiar: blond, sweet, kind girls who are orphans and have difficult lives. Both manga are full of romance, drama, and sparkling eyes.
CANDY and HIKARU are very similar in the ways that their love is always faithful to one person and their only reason for breaking up with the guy she loved was because there was no other way...

i'll just say this TERRY's personality is ARATA but TERRY's love life is like TAKARA's..once you read it you'll understand EXACTLY what i mean...^^

but these mangas can make you laugh, cry, and MOE-fy haha
