History Anime / CandyBoy

* PseudoRomanticFriendship: For all the [[GirlsLove yuri vibe]] the makers obviously strive for, the relationship between Kanade en Yukino still comes closest to this kind--although it's nevertheless a bit unusual among sisters.

* HomoeroticDream

* TriangRelations: In the manga, Sakuya, Isako, and Kanade are in this. Starts with 13 (Isako A, Sakuya B, Kanade C), then later evolves into type 9 (Kanade A, Sakuya/Isako B/C).

Kanade Sakurai is in a quasi-romantic relationship with Yukino, her fraternal twin sister. Then, there is Sakuya Kamiyama, an underclassman of the two, who harbors a crush on Kanade herself. [[SliceOfLife Stuff happens to them]].

''Candy Boy'' started off as a gimmick one shot ONA but the notion proved so popular that more episodes have been produced. This caused some confusion with episode numbering: the first episode (the original ONA) is usually not counted, with the technically second one designated as "episode 01", etc. For simplicity's sake, think of the original ONA as "episode 00". Still, there is also a prequel, called "EX01" -- and then there are the various music videos, made from scenes of the original series. Sadly the show couldn't last and ended after the DVD special "EX02". There is also a two-volume manga adaption, though it's more of an AlternateContinuity.

-->Kanade: Shumimashen...

* NoseBleed:

** Even moreso in the manga. Kanade seems to suffer [[NoseBleed nosebleeds]] a lot, like when Yuki gives her FingerSuckHealing or cosplays (and licking Kana's cheek).
* NotWhatItLooksLike: [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/candy_boy_ahem.jpg Would you believe it]]?

* InnocentCohabitation: They're twins. 'Nuff said.

* {{Meganekko}}: Kanade, in the rare instances that she doesn't wear contacts.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: For all the [[GirlsLove yuri vibe]] the makers obviously strive for, the relationship between Kanade en Yukino still comes closest to this kind--although it's nevertheless a bit unusual among sisters.

Kanade Sakurai is in a quasi-romantic relationship with Yukino, her fraternal twin sister. Then, there is Sakuya Kamiyama, an underclassman of the two, who harbors a [[SchoolgirlLesbians crush]] on Kanade herself. [[SliceOfLife Stuff happens to them]].

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Sakuya is open and vocal about her crush on Kanade.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Yukino.

* {{Adorkable}}: Yuki. Her excitement at the idea of [[UmbrellaOfTogetherness sharing an umbrella]] with Kanade is both hilarious and heartwarming.

Kanade Sakurai is in a quazi-romantic relationship with Yukino, her fraternal twin sister. Then, there is Sakuya Kamiyama, an underclassman of the two, who harbors a [[SchoolgirlLesbians crush]] on Kanade herself. [[SliceOfLife Stuff happens to them]].

* MinimalistCast: Kanade, Yukino, and Sakuya are the only reoccurring characters, with occasional appearances by little sister Shizuku. The manga has a few more characters, mostly in the Young Girls Fall in Love sidestory focusing on Sakuya.

* HopelessSuitor: Sakuya, who just won't give up on Kanade. Same goes for Isako in the manga. Both of them end up falling for each other, funnily enough.

* HotterAndSexier: The manga, which has some actual {{Fanservice}} and adds sexual tension between Kanade and Yukino (mainly on Kanade's side). This makes sense, considering that the artist, Hiro Touge, primarily works on either ecchi or straight-up hentai titles.

* PettingZooPeople: Yukino appears as a kitsunekko in Kanade's dream.

Kanade Sakurai has a [[{{Twincest}} crush]] on Yukino, her fraternal twin sister. Yukino appears to be well aware of the fact, but seems to play it off for laughs -- although she likes to tease Kanade a bit too much for comfort. Then, there is Sakuya Kamiyama, an underclassman of the two, who harbors a [[SchoolgirlLesbians crush]] on Kanade herself. [[SliceOfLife Stuff happens to them]].

* GenreSavvy: Sakuya is too savvy for her own good.

This caused some confusion with episode numbering: the first episode (the original ONA) is usually not counted, with the technically second one designated as "episode 01", etc. For simplicity's sake, think of the original ONA as "episode 00". Still, there is also a prequel, called "[=EX01=]" -- and then there are the various music videos, made from scenes of the original series. Sadly the show couldn't last and ended after the DVD special ([=EX02=]). However, the story has continued in a manga, though it's more of an AlternateContinuity.

* AlternateContinuity: The manga, in which Kanade and Shizuku's relation is significantly more positive than in the anime. Moreover, the manga introduces several new characters: Yurippe, Isako, Masumi, and Eri, who does not appear in the anime.

* TriangRelations: In the manga, Sakuya, Isako, and Kanade are in this. Starts with 13 (Isako A, Sakuya B, Kanade C), then later evolves into type 9 (Kanade A, Sakuya/Isako, B/C).

* TriangRelations: In the manga, Sakuya, Isako, and Kanade are in this. Starts with type 3 (or, depending on how you view, type 13) and later evolves into type 9. In both cases, Kana on the receiving end of both Sakuya and Isako's affection, but doesn't reciprocate.

* FanGirl: Sakuya is Kanade's InUniverse personal fangirl... not that the latter is particularly happy about it.

* HopelessSuitor: Sakuya, who just won't give up on Kanade.

** Even moreso in the manga. Kanade seems to suffer [[NoseBleed nosebleeds]] a lot, like when Yuki gives her FingerSuckHealing or cosplays.

* {{Fanservice}}: Surprisingly averted, given the show's content. Even the swimming pool episode is rather subdued, much to Sakuya's dismay.

* TriangRelations: In the manga, Sakuya, Isako, and Kanade are in this. Starts with type 3 and later evolves into type 9. In both cases, Kana is A.
