Koharu Inoue’s manga series became popular after its serialization on Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry website from October 2017 to May 2022, with fifteen Tankobon volumes as of June 2022. As the manga built a loyal fanbase, an anime adaptation of the same was announced by J.C.Staff, one of the most notable production houses in the anime industry.
Here’s a synopsis of the series, as stated by Seven Seas Entertainment:
"When the duke was a young boy, a witch cast a powerful curse upon him, making it so that any living thing he touched would die. Now a young man, he lives in a sprawling mansion with only servants for his companions: an elderly butler, and his childhood friend, a busty blonde maid named Alice. Despite the curse, Alice is constantly flirting with him and seems to delight in making him blush! But how close can they truly grow as long as the curse is in place?"
