The captivating manga series that served as the inspiration for the beloved anime is a gothic romcom that delves into the intricate relationship between a cursed duke and his mischievous maid. As a young boy, the duke was subjected to a devastating curse by a witch, rendering him powerless to touch any living creature without causing their immediate demise. However, as he grew into a young man, he found solace in the companionship of his loyal servants, an elderly butler named Sebastian and his childhood friend, a voluptuous blonde maid named Alice. Despite the overwhelming burden of his curse, Alice relentlessly pursues the duke, reveling in the joy of making him blush with her flirtatious antics.

Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles, their bond grows stronger with each passing day. Alice, with her unwavering affection and determination, refuses to let the curse hinder their connection. She tirelessly cares for the duke, ensuring his well-being and happiness, even at the risk of her own life. Meanwhile, the duke, captivated by Alice's charm and wit, finds himself drawn to her in ways he never thought possible. He longs for a deeper connection, one that transcends the limitations imposed by his curse.

As the story unfolds, the duke and Alice face numerous challenges and trials. They must navigate the treacherous social dynamics of the aristocracy, where prejudice and superstition run rampant. They must also confront the dark forces that seek to exploit the curse for their own gain. Through it all, their love for each other grows stronger, and they find solace in the knowledge that they are not alone in their struggle.

The manga series that inspired the anime is a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the human spirit. It explores the complexities of human relationships, the consequences of fate, and the importance of embracing one's true self. It is a story that has touched the hearts of millions of fans around the world, and it continues to inspire new generations of readers and viewers with its timeless themes and captivating characters.
