Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid

A childhood curse left a young duke with a terrifying condition: anything living he touches dies instantly. Rejected by his family, he is sent to an isolated estate where physical contact with another person is impossible. His loneliness is eased by the elderly butler Rob and, above all, by Alice Lendrott, a maid who delights in flirting with him from just beyond the reach of his deadly hands. The duke loves her, and Alice makes little effort to hide that the feeling is mutual. Their affection turns breaking the curse from a distant wish into an urgent goal. Surrounded by witches, old family secrets, and friends who refuse to fear him, the duke searches for a future where loving someone does not require keeping them at arm's length.
