I've been reading this manga for some time now, mostly in the version by Ishida Akira because that's the farthest along, but I check the other versions more-or-less regularly (there're two others, not counting a ludicrous 4koma and a sidestory).  I recently began watching the anime on Crunchyroll, and the episode I took in last night included something ... odd.  I'm trying to avoid spoilers here, but:

The anime opening credits, and one scene in the first episode, indicated that Female Magician has two companions, presumably also mages, each carrying a staff similar to hers.  This latest episode showed Demon Queen approaching Female Magician as the mage sits sleeping on a bench (she spends a lot of time sleeping, and has the nickname of "Napping Sorceress," to which she responds "I prefer Pleasant Serial Killer").  Female Magician is alone when the camera looks directly at her, but when it points down at the water-covered floor, the two companions can be seen rising to their feet at Demon Queen's approach.  Then they glance at Female Magician, who's still snoozing ... and one of them kicks her off the bench.  She thrashes face-down in the shallow water for a moment, then wakes up fully, stands, and finally notices Demon Queen.

I have no idea where the series is going with this, 'cause the companions haven't even been hinted at in any of the manga portrayals I've read.  I'm not asking for suggestions, just commenting -- and recommending this as highly worth taking in.  Hilarity, romance, and lessons in economics and agriculture.  As long as it doesn't bother you that none of the characters has a name....

I do regret that the anime doesn't give more detail of Hero going through, like the proverbial dose of salts, anybody who tries to fight him.  Like the bit from the Ishida manga when Fairy Queen warned him that even though he'd defeated the Demon Wolf General, there was still the even more powerful Black Wolf King....
Hero:  I defeated him too.  Last week.
Fairy Queen:  Eeh?!  What in the world are you?
