About the series

A sweet-natured orphan girl named Candy navigates the ups and downs of life in early 20th-century America, finding friendship and first love against a backdrop of pastoral countryside and elite boarding schools. Originally serialized in 47 issues by Éditions Télé-Guide from 1977 to 1981, this French comic adaptation brought the beloved Japanese manga to a European audience. The series is most associated with the work of Yumiko Igarashi and Kyoko Mizuki, whose delicate, expressive art and heartfelt storytelling made Candy a defining icon of the shojo genre's global reach. Its enduring charm lies in its timeless themes of resilience, kindness, and the bittersweet ache of growing up.
