Overview

The Duke of Death and His Maid is a Japanese romantic comedy television series that aired from 2021 to 2024. The story is based on a manga series written by Koharu Inoue, which was serialized online via the Sunday Webry website between October 2017 and May 2022. The narrative centers on a protagonist who suffers from a childhood curse that causes anything he touches to die. This condition complicates his daily life, particularly his interactions with a flirty maid whose behavior is described as shocking given his circumstances. As the series progresses, the Duke and his companions work to determine if they can successfully break the curse or if he is destined to live a life where love remains permanently out of his reach. The television production features voice performances from Natsuki Hanae, Ayumi Mano, Wakana Kuramochi, and Hiroshi Kamiya. The original manga source material was eventually collected into sixteen tankobon volumes.
