    Bonjour Ms Puddle
    Ravi de vous entendre à nouveau et de vous savoir en forme !
    Je suis d’accord avec vous sur le fait que Candy avait commencé à se remettre de sa rupture avec Terry avant Rockstown. Et pour preuve dans le manga page 93 et 94 du tome 9 elle dit “C’est la première fois que je cherche à vous trouver……vous avez toujours été là quand j’avais de la peine ou quand j’en avais besoin…mais maintenant…j’ai envie de vous revoir …de vous revoir tout de suite.”
    Pourtant ce n’était pas la première fois qu’elle cherchait Albert. Peu de temps après avoir été transféré à l’hopital à Chicago, Albert est parti et Candy l’a cherché en pleine nuit dans Chicago avant de le retrouver dans le parc. Alors pourquoi dit-elle que c’est la première fois ? Je pense qu’à ce moment déjà ses sentiments envers Albert avaient évolués, elle n’avait pas seulement besoin de le voir parce qu’elle avait de la peine mais elle avait besoin de sa présence tout simplement, il lui manquait déjà à peine parti, c’est pour cette raison qu’elle emploi les mots “mais maintenant” et “j’ai envie de vous revoir tout de suite”. Oui à partir de maintenant ses sentiments ne sont plus les mêmes, on sent qu’elle est amoureuse, c’est la réaction d’une fille amoureuse !

      Bonsoir, Antlay!

      Yes, I’m recovering, and almost there! Thanks for your concern, my friend! 🙂

      I actually double checked with my manga version, and I think Candy meant “the first time she looked for Albert back near the waterfall”, but he wasn’t there. Then she remembered he was like that in London as well, but he would always re-appear somehow, especially when she was down or upset (the following page in the manga). But now (this time), she could barely wait (for him to re-appear), and she really, really wanted to see him.

      Therefore, I totally AGREE with you that her reactions were typical of a girl in love, missing the man that occupied her heart. Otherwise, I can’t really explain why she would leave Terry (who had been so depressed because of her) but search for Albert all over the town (and she didn’t even know how Albert thought of her). Sigh…

    Hallo from Switzerland, my dear friend! Finally my day to day routine is almost back to normal. Still adjusting and I somehow feel homesick and miss the liveliness at Sg.

    I REALLY LOVE THIS POST!

    Your idea that Candy Happy Maker began to work just right after the NY incident, is amazing! That brilliant brain of yours! I got goosebumps just to think if it was what in Mizuki’s mind as well when she created CHM and the plot.

    And I agree with you that this CHM is something important in CC story, at least in the last 3 manga volumes. And I always think that like Archie, Stear had never really got over Candy. And I think Patty knew it.

    In her letter to Stear, She said she’s happy, I think she’s happy with her life at that moment, in every sense of the word. She’s happy that she might not face unfair treatments from Aunt Elroy and The Leagans anymore, she might be happy because she did what she loved for a living, she might be happy because her friends were happy, and most importantly she’s happy because she’s in a promising relationship with Albert. Oh, can you tell that all things she’s happy for happened with a little help from Albert? 🙂 Just like you’ve said Ms Puddle, Albert occupied her mind all the time. The evidents was everywhere in her letters in CCFS.

    An interesting line you wrote, “Terry no longer had control over her”. I can feel her. I was blessed to experience some relationship before finally I married my husband. I understand the feeling of someone/ a guy having control of your mind and the illusion created from the relationship. Deep in your heart you knew The Universe didn’t want you both united, but you’re too stubborn. Until someday you hit the wall and you couldn’t break that particular wall, at that moment then you realised, it’s time to give up. How many times Candy and Terry faced troubles to be together? Almost everytime! Susanna’s accident was the climax that put their effort to be together to an end.

    Oh btw, about Albert being a handyman, in Manga, there’s a scene Albert fixed a chair. I think it’s volume 7, he still got long hair. It’s a scene when Candy told her about her first meeting to Terry on a ship ( and when she told him that her first crush was Prince of The Hill!!).

    Yup, no we never found Terry fix something in the story. He never did a physical work actually. And why would Mizuki emphasize the line with ” fixed it with NO SWEAT”? She sure wanted to refer to a particular character. Because everybody then can argue “a man naturally can fix something, so it could be anyone”. Yeah, right. 🙂

    Once again, brilliant post, Ms Puddle!

      Hello there, Reeka! How’s life over there? Have you seen the beautiful Alps yet? 🙂
      I’m so glad you love my new post, and this is very encouraging!! 😀

      About Candy Happy Maker, I’ve always believed Mizuki gave it some special meaning; that’s why it’s still in CCFS, and not insignificant! If indeed what I said in the post was right, then Mizuki was simply brilliant! ^_^

      However, I think Stear had got over Candy, but she remained special in his heart. She was likely his first love? So he cared about her as someone very dear to him… like his sister almost.

      And Reeka, you’re absolutely right. Candy was happy and content… for many things happening in her life, with help from her best friend, Albert. He had indeed kept his promise to her–that he would want to make her happy! Yes, the evidence is everywhere in CCFS. Bravo to Mizuki.

      What you said about Terry and Candy was so true! The fate (or I should say Mizuki?) had made sure that Terry and Candy weren’t meant to be together, and when Candy finally accepted the reality, she let go. I will talk more about this in another post soon.

      Yes, I remember the scene Albert fixing a chair when Candy was telling him her first encounter with Terry (for the hundredth time LOL?). Plus, Albert used to live like a vagabond, so he must do a lot of things with his hands. Moreover, he did lots of chores at home (Candy told Terry that). Thus, I totally agree with you, Reeka, that when someone said “every man can naturally fix anything” was like saying “every woman can cook”. We know this isn’t true (Candy was one great counterexample!). It’s just a stereotype. It’s obvious Mizuki wanted to tell us who Anohito was. 😛

      Have a wonderful evening, Reeka! 🙂
