Reception

Rachel Bentham, writing for Active Anime, felt Candy was "explicit without being too graphic and attractive for its tender-hearted characters and bon-vivant tone."[2] Leroy Douressaux praised the varied character designs and the amount of humour in the work, which he felt was enough to lighten the mood.[3] Danielle Van Gorder, writing for Mania Entertainment, appreciated the reactions of the "various townfolk" to Takara, saying that this helped create a sense of "depth" to the world.[4]
