The Duke of Death and His Maid
死神坊ちゃんと黒メイド
Forbidden love blossoms in darkness. A cursed duke's touch is fatal, yet his maid's bold affection dares to defy fate. If you love poignant romance, this is unmissable.
How can you fall in love when you can’t even hold hands? Due to a childhood curse, anything that the Duke touches will die—which makes his flirty maid’s behavior all the more shocking! Is there a way for the Duke and his companions to somehow break the curse, or is he doomed to a life where love is forever out of his reach? (Source: Funimation)
