Candy Candy, Buon compleanno Candy Vol. 1

The story feels so vividly nostalgic — I wonder if the author drew from personal memories or aimed to evoke a universal childhood magic.

Her resilience and kindness really stood out to me, but I’d love to hear if others felt the same deep connection early on.

The illustrations are so expressive and charming — I wonder what influenced the artist's choice of style to match the story's mood.
