At the age of 10 (four years after Annie's departure in the manga, but only a few months according to the anime), Candy is taken in by the Leagan family to become the lady of company of Eliza, daughter of the family. Candy discovers that the family crest is very similar to the one on the prince's amulet, finding out that both families are connected, so she accepts, hoping there is a chance to see him again.

This is how she, without realizing it, reaches the front of a portal surrounded by a garden of roses.

During the party Anthony comments that he only knows her since her meeting in her doorway and Candy, convinced that he is her prince, assumes that she has forgotten her previous meeting.

The Ardleys are one of the most powerful families in America and are neighbors to the Leagans. Elisa and Neil also belong to the Ardley clan, therefore they are cousins to Archie, Stear and Anthony, which justifies the similarity of their family crests. The boys maintain their friendship with Candy despite the fact that the Leagans spare no effort in trying to tarnish her image. In May Anthony gives her a new breed of rose, calling the flower "Sweet Candy" and declaring that that day is her new birthday.

This is how Candy is forced to travel in the company of a cruel and unscrupulous man, making her journey unpleasant and painful.

• Sister Maria: She is a religious, who together with Miss Pony care for orphaned children who are left in the Pony House.

• Tom Steve: He is a young man who, together with Candy and Annie, grew up at the Pony House, until he was adopted by Mr. Steve, the owner of a large cattle ranch.

Chilean outcome of the anime

In the 1980s in Chile, the UCV TV signal acquired the rights to broadcast the animated series, being the first anime broadcast by the channel as part of the children's program Pipiripao. Although at that time Chilean viewers were not familiar with Japanese animation, Candy's story, which has the classic structure of a telenovela, aroused great interest among viewers and was one of the largest sources of ratings for UCV TV.

However, during the first broadcast cycle of the series, the tape with the last chapter had problems during its shipment to Chile, so it was not delivered to the channel and the team was faced with the problem of being on the broadcast date of the episode without having the material to project. Looking for an alternative solution Víctor Bielefeld, manager of the channel, was informed by long-distance call abroad regarding what were the events that were happening in the last chapter and, taking this as a general idea, the team improvised a script where the same workers of the channel fulfilled the work of voice actors, characterizing the characters as far as possible; later, material from previous chapters was recycled to create scenes that resembled the description they had been given about this episode and this was broadcast instead of the official denouement. Subsequently, reruns of the series featured the official ending.

Italian anime ending

When the original end of the series was broadcast in Italy, those in charge thought that it was not suitable for all audiences due to its high dramatic content, and worried that fans would be disappointed to see an outcome where love does not triumph, since Since Terry and Candy don't end up together, they decided to extend the series by creating (through editing and recycling scenes) an unofficial ending.

Candy finds out from the newspaper that Terry is divorced, so she travels to New York to meet her. In the final scene, she appears arriving by train at a station where Terry is waiting for her. The extra chapter ends when they hug each other while Terry tells her: "I will never leave you again, I love you! How much I have desired this moment..., how much I have dreamed of it! Our love will last a lifetime". This scene was taken from the occasion when Candy met Terry in New York and they edited it with Italian editing and dubbing.

Legal controversy

Since 1998, the series has been prohibited from being broadcast in all countries of the world due to a legal process between Igarashi and Mizuki over the Candy Candy copyright. The conflict began when Igarashi released Candy Candy merchandise without Mizuki's knowledge. Igarashi insisted that, as the author of the drawings, she did not need Mizuki's permission to market Candy Candy products. required permission from both authors: Mizuki, first, and Igarashi, second. Currently, the writer Kyōko Mizuki is authorized to commercialize the Candy Candy story (without illustrations), but the cartoonist Yumiko Igarashi cannot legally commercialize the drawings or products based on this story. In 2007, Igarashi Yumiko tried to market merchandise under the name "Lady Lady" in Taiwan with characters identical to Candy, Anthony, and Terry, so Toei Animation intervened.

Novels

The Candy Candy/小説キャンディ・キャンディ novels were written by Kyōko Mizuki as a novelization of the original Candy story that was made for the manga and consist of three volumes. These books were published by Kōdansha Ltd and the covers designed by Yumiko Igarashi. Volume 1 (May 1978), in narrative format, ranges from finding Candy at Pony's Home to Anthony's death and her return to Pony's Home. Volume 2 (November 1978), in narrative format, ranges from her trip to London for her admission to the Real Colegio San Pablo until she leaves it. Volume 3 (April 1979), in epistolary format, through letters sent or received by various characters, his adventures are told from his trip to the USA after leaving school in London until some time after discovering that Albert is not only the great-uncle William, but also her Prince on the Hill. Candy and Albert maintain a fluent correspondence after the discovery of these facts.

In 1990 a reissue was made with different designs by Yumiko Igarashi for the covers. In 2003, as a result of the conflict over copyright and thanks to a fan vote in Fukkan, a reissue was made by Book-Ing that brings together the 3 novels in a single volume and has no illustrations.

Mizuki says she has distanced herself from the influence of manga art and rewrites the story again.

On October 28, 2010, under her real name Keiko Nagita, she was published under the title Candy Candy Historia Final /小説「キャンディ・キャンディ FINAL STORY」, under the Shodensha imprint. and the three parts are divided into two volumes, details of the life of an adult Candy in her 30's who remembers her past one windy spring day are also included. The annotations in furigana with the reading of the kanji are not part of this edition, making its content focused on an adult audience.

The main news to Candy Candy Final Story are that Candy currently lives on the banks of a river Avon in the UK, Pony's Home is under reconstruction, Archie and Annie have married, The Legans are engaged in the hotel business with great success, Susana has died. Terry writes a letter to Candy saying that she hasn't changed. The identity of Candy's husband is not revealed, but Nagita said that she was satisfied knowing that Candy now lived a happy life with the man she loved.

In addition, the author apologizes to her fans, by not revealing the identity of Candy's current partner so as not to break her dreams. Among the clues that reveal her identity is the word 「あ の ひ と」 / & # 34; Anohito & # 34; which in Japanese is used as a feminine and/or masculine third person pronoun, he/she, as well as to speak between two people of someone absent or distant, however known to both so it is easy to assume that it is one of the characters of the story.

In 2015, the Italian publisher Kappalab obtained the copyright to publish CCFS in its entirety in Italian. The first volume was published in early 2015 and was called "Candy Candy Romanzo". The second volume has been released in June 2015 and is titled "Candy Candy Lettere".

The mystery of 「あのひと」/ Anohito/Him

One of the characteristics of Final Story, is that the name of "that man", Candy's husband, is never revealed. However, the main clues that the author leaves us about the mysterious character are the following:

• He buys a paint on a flea market in London from the Pony Home, which gives Candy. However he chooses in which part of the room to place it so that it is appreciated from any angle of the room.
• Candy has gone to live in a place with an ocean through which he can't go to help Pony's home because "he" doesn't want to separate from it.
• Candy dreams of Anthony and confesses to him that he is happy to live with whom he loves.
• The first time Candy tells her return as a brat, he laughs and then gets serious and embraces her.
• He obsessesses Candy a mother-of-pearl jeweler passing from generation to generation in his family.
• He repairs the box of Stear's happiness.
• He surprises her sadly by the memories and asks her with sweet voice that makes dark as she lights the light, Candy sees him in front of the door with the smile that he so much likes and with the heart beating fast runs to his open arms and welcomes him.
• Candy lives with him on the banks of the Avon River. In a house surrounded by daffodils and roses growing in the garden.
• In a bookcase are the complete works of Shakespeare, books of medicine and French and English literature.
• The Japanese pronoun anohito (◀, 'anohito'^?) expresses the idea "That person we both know", so when Candy uses it to point to her husband indirectly, she points out that it is a male character to whom readers already know.

Illustration Books

There are two volumes of picture books that were published in 1977/78, with illustrations by Yumiko Igarashi and poems by Kioko Mizuki. There are also others that were given away as appendices at the time the monthly Nakayoshi magazine was published. In 1992 the authors meet again and create a series of 3 children's books, where Candy's secret adventures are told when she still lived in the Pony Home, with stories by Kioko Mizuki and illustrations by Yumiko Igarashi.
