    omg, I fell asleep half the way through. I’m truly sorry but if you don’t recognise that Albert is one of the first gay characters in an anime, then you are completely blind. He and George had feelings for each other. However, they didn’t materialise into something more concrete apart from travelling together, because Albert died in the end. George mentioned he was worrying for Albert’s health and is also mentioned in one the correspondence letters. This fixation to an absurd love story between a guardian and his adoptive protégée is really an issue. You Albert fans should look at it.

      Hi there, so you managed to write a comment while falling asleep? 😛

      Anyway, nobody force you to read anything with which you’re not in agreement. What you said above have absolutely no ground, and yet the word you used, “protégé”, is not far from the truth. The main heroine in the story is a young friend / little sister to the main male character until their feelings for each other evolved. Though legally he had adopted her, they had never lived together as father and daughter. You should probably re-read the story with your eyes open. 😀 Have a good day. 🙂

    Hello my friend!

    I thought I had hearded everything but I was wrong! there were any romatinc feelings because he didn’t kiss her? I want to believed TF’s talk about lips, because he did kiss her on the forehead! hahaha

    You don’t need to kiss a person on the lips just to show her/him you are in love with. There are some many other ways to show it and some times, actions talks volumens. That is the case with Albert and Candy. Yep, Stear and Archie moved on and while Albert left the Magnolia House, Archie, Annie and Patty were worried for Candy. They knew something was happening between them or something changed. If not, why when Candy returned to Pony’s Home and they were already there expeting her, Archie told her Albert had came with them and then winked at her? He knew how anxious she was to met Albert and vice versa!

    I know you mention your post ‘He’s driving me crazy’, and with that fragment of the novel, Mizuki took care to let us know the do not love each other as family.

    “After I met Albert again and when all kinds of mysteries were solved at a burst, I blamed him frustrated, “You’re so…, I worried so much and I felt I’ve suddenly got old!”
    Albert laughed, however, straightened his face, “It suits me if you look a little more grown-up rather than people think you’re my sister …” he said and winked teasingly.
    Albert is pretty good at dodging the subject.

    Brother and sister.
    Albert and I had been living together pretending so.
    Is it like this if I live with my family?
    No, it may have been slightly different from family.
    I don’t know how to describe it but somewhere inside me, I knew that Albert was special.
    What kind of thoughts does Albert have about us …
    Argh, he’s driving me crazy …”

    Tf’s can say what ever they want, but they cannot block the sun with a finger.

    About A&C legal relationship, I still have my own fights! LOL

    I know in the epilogue Mizuki used the word adoptive father and adoptive daughter but in any other part of the novel, she calls Candy as adoptive daughter of the Ardlays and Uncle William as her legal guardian. ANW, the important here, is that they never saw each other like father-daughter or stopped to see each other as siblings. Something changed while they lived together, their brotherly love turned into a romantic one. I always have thought that Mizuki made Albert to be amnesic, so they can see each other with different eyes. 🙂

      That’s right, QuevivaCandy, that I heard they insist A and C had no romantic feelings because nothing concrete have happened between them, something tangible like a kiss. 💋

      However, I suppose most readers can tell Stear and Archie had fallen for Candy even though they had never kissed her. 😝

      Totally agree with you that actions speak louder than words!

      Like you I also have a feeling Archie had sensed something happening between Candy and Albert. Who knows? Archie had definitely moved on in CCFS. Yes, that wink at the end of the manga… Suspicious, isn’t it? 😜😋

      Thanks for your input, my dear. I like what you said about people can’t block the sun with a finger! Is that a saying in Spanish? That’s brilliant!

      About the legal relationship, I can’t agree with you more about Mizuki’s intentions of making Albert forget absolutely everything. She must have a reason for that. For two young people, who were so caring for each other, it’s only natural their deep friendship evolve over time and blossom. Sigh… 💓💕💖

      • Quevivacandy says:

        Oh, I see I already had left a comment over here, hehehe

        Yes, that is a saying in Spanish, I guess the English equivalent is ‘to bury your head in the sand’ or ‘trying to put a bandaid on a gaping wound’. 🙂

        • Ms Puddle says:

          Yes you did, my friend! About the sayings, they are all brilliant! I still like yours the best though. 😘

    Hello Ms Puddle and thank you for this new article long and interesting as always! 😍

    A kiss or absence of a kiss does not necessarily mean that there is love or not. The kiss of Terry was a stolen kiss. Even Neil tried to force a kiss on her, and yet no one would dare say that Candy loved him and for Neil well I think it was more desire of an impetuous teenager than true love. At this stage Albert and Candy could not have exchanged kiss on the lips because their love was not said and I can not see Albert forcing a kiss on Candy, this is not his style and he was not an impetuous teenager!

    As for the drawing and the associated text, it is clear in any case that the answer to the fate of Albert is Candy because it is she who is on the cover! 😉
    With this poem, I think Mizuki wanted gradually left clues to lead us to the final conclusion of the story! 😉 😀

    Living with a man not only very attractive but also very , caring and attentive for probably two years, sharing all the details of everyday life almost as a couple. How not to fall in love with someone with whom life reached such a level of harmony? Moreover Candy came out of adolescence and becoming an adult woman.

    Albert found that Candy was beautiful, he had said to her in London, the first time he had met by chance while Candy had gone out to look for a pharmacy to treat Terry. In my French version of the manga volume 3 p130 he said (I’ve translated in Englih) “So show me what you’ve become … you are more and more beautiful!” Therefore he realized this before to live with her! And Candy replied “You also Albert!” So he was more and more handsome and she found him younger, Candy said it clearly! But apparently it no longer appears in the unofficial version of the French translation of the official Italian version of CCFS! What a pity! 🙁

    Finally, of course Albert was a sensitive man but his education had taught him how to hide it!
    About, 10 signs a guy loves you, well, I think Albert showed all! 💘

    I hope you spent a happy Valentine’s Day, my friend! 💙

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Bonjour Candy Bert, I’m glad you found my long post interesting! 😘

      Can’t agree with you more about Terry’s kiss being a stolen one. Candy wasn’t ready, not to mention that all those slaps afterwards are absolutely unforgettable and far from romantic. 😣😒 I really don’t understand why people used that scene as a proof of Terry’s love. I’d at most say it was an impulsive action, similar to the one Neil wanted much later, just like you said, my friend. 🙁

      So true, the fact that Albert hadn’t kissed Candy yet indicates his maturity, patience and love. Like your story, I think he wouldn’t kiss her until he knew for sure where her heart was.

      Concerning the poster and the poem, it’s clear Mizuki was deliberately leaving hints for her readers— Candy and Albert were destined to be together! 😍 You’re right, Candy Bert, that they had reached a level of understanding and harmony that no other man could measure up.

      So there’s an unofficial translation of CCFS? Is it something recently done?

      I can check the London passage again in my CCFS if you’re interested. 😊 About the ten signs… Indeed Albert had shown them all! Sigh… 💓💕

      Likewise, I hope you had a happy Valentine’s day with your loved ones, mon amie! 💖💖💖
