The Duke of Death and His Maid

The Duke of Death and His Maid is a TV anime blending comedy, romance, drama, and supernatural intrigue, produced by J.C.STAFF and directed by Yoshiki Yamakawa. Based on the manga by Inoue, with series composition by Jessica Cavanagh, this adaptation follows Bocchan—a young duke cursed to kill anything he touches—and his devoted yet playfully teasing maid, Alice Lendrott. Their bittersweet dynamic, caught between longing and an untouchable curse, delivers heartfelt emotion wrapped in charming humor. Fans of romantic supernatural storytelling will find this series an irresistibly captivating watch.

In a world where magic quietly shapes the lives of the nobility, Bocchan carries a burden unlike any other—a curse placed upon him in childhood that causes everything he touches to wither and die. Isolated from the warmth of human connection, he resigns himself to a solitary existence, keeping the world at arm's length to protect those around him. Yet his carefully maintained distance is constantly challenged by his spirited maid Cuff, whose bold and playful demeanor seems entirely unfazed by the danger he poses. Alongside the loyal and steadfast Rob, Bocchan navigates a life defined by longing and restraint. The origins of his curse remain shrouded in mystery, and whether a cure exists is a question that lingers over every moment of his days. This is a story about living on the margins of love—and wondering if the walls built by fate can ever truly come down.
