Hello again!
We are in the month of January! The month of Terry's birthday! 
I would like to write a few posts about Terry and perhaps post a fanfic I wrote last January for his birthday. But before I do that, I would like to finish the posts where I tell you about my journey in the Candy world.
The journey of a non-Japanese Candy-Candy fan.
When the Final Story news arrived in Europe, and the news about Susanna's death and Terry's letter were known, I remember this very clearly.
The shock was so big! I felt my heart squeezed! Did those news mean that Candy and Terry found each other at last? 
It was not as straight-forward. We learn that Final Story is narrated by an older Candy. Candy was our age. She must be 38 years old, just before WWII and she lives in a place next to a river Avon but the man she shares her life with is not named. His name is Anohito which in Japanese, means "this person". 
A journey of gathering clues start. I am sure that the same journey was taken on by Candy fans all over the world. I remember it was the first time, I start looking for Japanese blogs, trying to read what the Japanese fans are writing. You had the book available. We only had excerpts of it.
2012 - The Italian edition of the Final Story is published and the first English translation is produced.
2019 - The French edition of the Final story is published. Nagita sensei travels to Paris in March 2019 for the presentation of her Candy-Candy novel.
2020 - The Spanish edition of the Final story is published. It is sold out three times.
Here are my Candy-Candy Final story books. Nagita sensei has signed both my French book and my Japanese book.
