It's horrible and disgusting to support a misogynist like Terry, who punched Candy in the face. Albert never hit Candy, which is why she chose him

Terry's fans have a double standard. They call Canbert shippers fabricated incest (which doesn't exist) and pedophilia (which doesn't exist), but they support a woman beater like Terry, a secondary character whom Candy traded for the true protagonist, the Prince of the Hill (Albert). Calling Canbert shippers disgusting and repulsive is the same as insulting Keiko Nagita, because she's the number one Canbert shipper and has repeatedly declared to the world that Albert is Candy's husband, never Terry. Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-36625-16 (talk)

This page is to discuss improvements to the Wikipedia article about Candy Candy, we have exactly zero interest in fandom drama. ᴸᵃᶠᶠʸTaffer💬(they/she) In solidarity 16:57, 24 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

It would be wise if the administrators focus on actual facts and textual evidence instead of fan-based drama. It is not surprising that Keiko Nagita, the author of "Candy Candy", has refrained from all this nonsense. That being said, neither Terry nor Albert have been confirmed to be "anohito". Instead, the author, Keiko Nagita, decided to provide an open ending where anyone could assume whatever he or she wants. Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-38603-21 (talk)

Albert is Candy's husband, not Terry

In "Candy's Secret Revealed!", an interview for the Keizensha Encyclopedia, Nagita says: "I decided to write a story that wasn't just a magical manga, nor a conventional story about an orphan girl searching for her mother, but the life of a girl who lives looking forward, and in that life I wanted to include three loves. The first is her initial love for Anthony, a fleeting love. A love made only of tenderness with a boy of special transparency. Then there's the youthful and stormy love for Terry, a love from which one must part even while still loving. And finally, I wrote a serene, mature, and predestined love for Albert-san."

Albert is Candy's husband, not Terry. This has been publicly and officially confirmed by the author herself, Keiko Nagita, in statements to the press. Any attempt to spread misinformation is merely an act of vandalism born of pure envy on the part of Terry's fans—nothing more.

The article is inaccurate and based on fanpages.

Terry fans persist in spreading misinformation

This article covers the entire Candy Candy franchise, not just a specific book. Furthermore, posting links to online bookstores does not constitute a valid source or reference.

Terry didn't even make it to the midpoint of the story, let alone marry Candy. At the end of her catharsis, Candy herself states that Terry was no longer a part of her life. Furthermore, Terry never visited Pony's Hill in the spring and never met Dr. Leonard; therefore, it is impossible for him to be Candy's husband.  Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-38542-68 (talk) 09:56, 8 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
