Kodansha Nakayoshi Candy-Candy Illustration Collection Book

[Product detail]

During the golden age of shoujo manga in the 1970s, “Candy Candy” was one of the crowning achievements of the genre. The cheerful and healthy Candy, the main character, captured the hearts of countless girls and continues to evoke deep sympathy even today. This gem of a book is packed with the charm of Candy Candy.

This book is a limited edition color illustration book not for sale, produced in the summer of 1977 as a supplement to the August issue of Kodansha's girls' magazine "Nakayoshi. The rich expressions on Candy's face, drawn by Ms. Yumiko Igarashi, and the beautifully reproduced pages with the colors of the four seasons captivated the hearts of fans at the time. The vivid colors, delicate touch, and nostalgic composition of each page bring to life the gentleness and dreams typical of Showa-era girls' manga.

Even after many years, the beauty of the manga has not faded, and it is cherished by many vintage fans and collectors. It is not uncommon to see beautiful items fetch a premium price on antique book markets and auction sites, and they are known as rare items that are coveted by fans.

This book is filled with the dreams and longings of girls of that time. It transcends time and evokes the sparkling feelings of those days. We hope that those who enjoy retro atmosphere, those who are interested in Showa culture, and above all, all those who love candy canes, will pick up this little treasure.
