The story is about [[Coming of Age Story|the life and times]] of Candace "Candy" White, a beautiful blond girl growing up in the first two decades of the 20th century, through her adoption; her convoluted love life, first with sweet Anthony, who meets a tragic death, and then with [[Troubled but Cute|rebellious]] Terry; her friends and enemies, and her final determination of being a capable and independent woman.
 
Not to be confused with ''[[Honey Honey]]'', another old-school shojo which is instead [[Gag Series|extremely silly,]] or the ''[[Axe Cop (Webcomic)|Axe Cop]]'' villain [[Name's the Same|by this name.]]

=== The series provides examples of: ===
Line 27:
* [[Coming of Age Story]]: It covers Candy's whole life since she was taken in by Miss Pony and Sister Maria as a baby, until she's at least in her twenties.
* [[Creator Backlash]]: Mizuki and Igarashi have fought legally between each other so much over ownership of the series that they've come to ''hate'' it.
** [[Screwed Byby the Lawyers]]: The anime became this as the end result of the legal battles.
* [[Door Step Baby]] (Both Annie and Candy)
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]
Line 38:
* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Candy wants to be a nurse, and thus she enrolls in a medical school.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Candy, in regards to {{spoiler|Susanna and Terry}}
* [[Jerkass]] <--> [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Terry bounces in and out of these two tropes.
* [[Just a Kid]]: {{spoiler|The reason why Albert isn't allowed to fully lead the Andree clan, and has to assume the "Uncle William" persona}}
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Does Eliza ever get whatever her just comeuppance is? Probably not.
** Well, at least her and her family's schemes failed in the end [[Humiliation Conga|and they were shamed by Albert]]...Considering that Albert is {{spoiler|the head of the Andree family, whose social status is quite higher than the Regans's}}, probably yes. And ''double'' if you think that {{spoiler|he ''might'' be the closest to Candy's True Love}}; if you adhere to that theory, then Eliza is ''spectacularly'' screwed.
* [[Love Martyr]]: Candy skirts the line sometimes, in regards to Terry.
* [[Man in Aa Kilt]]: There are several attractive male characters of Scottish ascendence, what do you think?
* [[Mommy Issues]]: Terry. ''Oh, Terry''.
* [[Meganekko]]: Patty and Flammy. Stear is a male one.
