Synopsis of Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid
As the flower’s elegant, fragile petals wither into lifeless ashes, the young duke is tragically reminded of the despicable power imposed on him: the ability to kill everything he touches. Despised by his family, he is sent to live in near isolation. Fortunately, he is not completely alone, as the mansion’s staff – his dutiful butler Rob and flirtatious maid Alice – keep him company and make his life less miserable. As the Duke’s romantic feelings for Alice grow, so does her continued frustration with the limits imposed on her by his unfortunate ability. Therefore, he decides to break the curse that has weighed on him for so many years, not only for his sake, but also for Alice’s, since he is painfully aware of how difficult it is to avoid contact with a loved one.
