We have long history.. Dated back to when I was six or seven years old..
I am now 24 years old (should I be happy or wat??? -_-") and am still addicted to manga.. The worst thing is I cannot remember what I learn in school last year, but I can totally remember the story of "Candy-candy" that I read 17 years ago! OMG! that's such a long time ago..
A re-cap: candy grow up in orphanage with anne.. anne was adopted by rich family.. nobody wants candy coz she is very unlady-like.. then blah blah blah.. she met anthony, stear and archie.. they have great times together.. I really like their three gates.. hehehe.. then anthony and her were in love with each other, unfortunately... *sob sob* anthony died in a hunting accident.. that was volume two.. I was utterly dismayed by then... T.T then she was adopted by this William guy which later turn out to be the same person with albert.
It was a long story.. but the most memorable incidents that is etched in my memory are:
1. Candy met young Albert near the orphanage
2. Candy met the Anthony that look totally like young Albert (I think Albert is anthony's uncle or something like that)
3. Anthony died *CRY BIGTIME*
4. They go to the school
5. Anne pretend she didn't know candy
6. Candy meet Terry
7. war time - Stear died *sob sob* I remember the time when he gave candy the musical box.. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.............
8. Suzanna appear - broke up with Terry gahhh...
9. Candy taking care of Albert
10. One idiotic cousin of Anthony (forgot his and his sister's name -_-") trying to force candy into marrying him.
11. Albert appear as the hero...
12. Candy remember that she saw Albert when she was six years old... (Event no.1)
Tadaaa... it all came to full circle.... It kind of ends just like that.. but i honestly hope that things work out between them.. (I start to sounds like a lunatic) I know that they do not even exist in the first place.. but come on.. They are my best friends.. Those events were very real in my memory...
When the mangaka draw a full page for one event, with the flowers and the sun rays shining in the background with every little details taken care of, I will totally get absorbed in it... I do feel like am a little insane at times..
when i was little, I can draw those ballet's manga pas de deux perfectly with the face of the balerina tilted proudly and the knee length socks and sometimes the beautiful leotard... BUT.. I have lost those drawings! darn....
those ballet manga was one of my favourites... remember the mary-chan series?? yah those are the ones.. hehehe... mary and the akiras and satorus.... huehuehuehuhe... I think the mangaka totally love the name satoru and akira =p
I can no longer remember the names of so many of the mary chan series but if u guys remember, there is this story on the ballet they have to perform; Hagoromo... woah... It's so beautiful... Then there are other performance like swan lake..
Hmm.. come to think of it, I have learn a lot of things from manga...
Anyway, here is the link to an anime ranking made in Japan.. Candy candy (manga from the 70s) was ranked in the 21st out of 100 in the year 2005!
