** In the first Italian dub multiple scenes were cut, such as some on-screen violence (like [[spoiler: Hans being shot]]) or the scene where Jeudi applies IntimateHealing to Lundi, but most importantly ''any reference to Nazism and World War II was completely removed'', and as a result most episodes had around 10 minutes of foorage cut.

*ArtisticLicenseHistory: The anime mentions that Lundi's father, Dr. Courtot, went "to Africa" during the 1920s to work as a doctor and treat impoverished patients. It's also mentioned that before he arrived, Africa had no doctors, which is blatantly untrue - yes, Africa as a whole wasn't that economically developed during the 20s, but it certainly had basic necessities like hospitals (most 3rd world countries do).

Fast forward to 1939, few after the Austrian Anschluss and a little before Switzerland declares its neutrality. Lundi and Jeudi are already teenagers, but Jeudi is still amnesiac; her only clue about her identity is a song that repeats itself in her memories, whose name is apparently ''Alpen Rose''. And then, a strange man named Count Germont appears and attempts to kidnap Jeudi. When she refuses to become his mistress and is pretty much locked in the castle as a maid, Lundi rescues her and they run away from home, setting out in a journey to find the answers to all of their questions, as well as falling in love in the process...
