#The Duke of Death and His Maid 1st PV Confirms Its July 2021 Premiere

At the same time as the screening at AnimeJapan 2021 today, the official website for the forthcoming TV anime adaptation of Inoue’s fantasy comedy manga Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid / The Duke of Death and His Maid posted an 80-second first PV to announce its July 2021 premiere in Japan.  

The clip shows the sad but somehow funny relationship between its two main characters – Bocchan, a boy who is suffering from a curse that causes the death of anyone who touches him, and Alice, his maid who sexually harasses him. Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro Kamado in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) plays Bocchan and Ayumi Mano (Natsumi in Date A Live) voices Alice. 

Yoshinobu Yamakawa (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Hi Score Girl) serves as the director, alongside the series composition writer Hideki Shirane (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) and the character designer Mitsuru Kuwabata (Hi Score Girl). J.C.STAFF (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) works on anime production.

Synopsis:

A nobleman named Bocchan–. When he was a child, he was cursed by a witch with a curse that would make everything he touched die. The curse causes him to be rejected by those around him, and he has spent his days alone in a large mansion deep in the forest. The maid who serves him is Alice. But Alice’s presence is the source of his biggest worry because she routinely sexually harasses him…! Alice is always seducing Bocchan as close as she can get. Bocchan loves her but is not even allowed to hold her hand. Will their pure love really bear fruit…?
