Notes[]
- In the manga, the female assistant of the village chief addresses him as "Sir" and "chief," indicating a non-familial relationship[14]
- The anime replaces the young petite woman with a much stouter wife, who is closer in age to the chief[15]
- The chief is modeled after Dr. Stein of Norihiro Yagi's first one-shot manga, Undeadman, as well as the high school principal of Angel Densetsu
