The Duke of Death and His Maid (Original Japanese Version)

A teenage boy lives deep in the forest, far away from his family and cursed to kill anything he touches. His maid, Alice, is constantly teasing him and getting far too close for comfort…

Having recovered from a back injury, the Duke's elderly butler Rob resumes his post. But while his work is flawless, some of his five senses aren't quite up to snuff. Meanwhile, a couple of unexpected guests pay a visit to the Duke's mansion…

After losing a bet to Alice, the Duke agrees to take her to the town’s masquerade festival. But the two get separated when the Duke, clad in a clunky, steel costume to protect others from his touch of death, gets carried away by the crowd…

When Alice loses one of her mother’s earrings in the snow, the Duke goes out into the cold, dark night to look for it. Meanwhile, a lost witch finds the Duke lying unconscious in the snow and decides to help him. Does she know how to break his curse?

As the Duke recovers from a fall and a hit on the head while out ice skating with Alice, he encounters a talking white crow. He thinks he may be imagining things, but then he learns that the crow happens to be searching for a lost witch named Cuff...

The night of the blood moon has arrived, and Cuff and Zain show up at the Duke’s mansion to take him to the witches’ sabbath. What will he do if he finds the witch that cursed him there?

With the witches' sabbath over and the Duke no closer to ridding himself of his curse, he and Alice spend the day trying out various enchanted items to break the curse, with hilarious results…

On a snowstormy night, Alice is reminded of when she first began working as the Duke's maid. Despondent and holed up in his dark, messy room, the Duke can't even remember who Alice is and is ready to dismiss her. How will she get him to open his heart?

It’s Christmas Eve, and the Duke’s friends and family are planning to gather at his mansion for a Christmas party. The gang’s all going to be there: Alice, Rob, Cuff, Zain, and Viola. But when Walter sees Viola depart and decides to tail her…

Alice struggles with conflicting emotions after she learns from the Duke that he would break ties with his family if his mother doesn’t approve of them getting married after his curse is broken.

While searching the main residence, Viola stumbles upon an old servants’ logbook from around the time the Duke got cursed. When she gives it to Alice, Daleth finds out and makes a move to have it destroyed. What is it that Daleth wants kept secret?

The Duke's mother summons him to the main residence and gives him an ultimatum. But the Duke has something to tell her as well…
