The summer anime "The Duke of Death and His Maid", scheduled to air in July 2021, is a romantic comedy about a young boy who is cursed with the death of everything he touches, and Alice, a maid who sexually harasses him from a dangerous distance. It's a bright and heartwarming story, but it's also a little sad. Here's a look at the characters!
Character 1: The Duke
The protagonist of this work. The eldest son of an aristocrat, the young boy was supposed to inherit the family business, but he was cursed by a witch to kill everything he touches, and was isolated in a villa deep in the forest. Since then, she has lived a rough life, repeatedly self-harming, in despair over her circumstances, but she regains her brightness thanks to the maid Alice and butler Rob who come to her villa. She and Alice are in love with each other, but due to a curse, she cannot touch Alice, and her current concern is that Alice is sexually harassing her without regard for distance.
Character No. 2: Alice
A blonde, busty maid who always wears black clothes, who came to the young master's mansion two years ago. Despite the curse that causes death to everything the young master touches, she cleverly sexually harasses him with an exquisite sense of distance, confusing him. Although she doesn't show her emotions much and calmly engages in reverse sexual harassment, her love for the young master is genuine. Perhaps she closes the distance between him and the young master by repeatedly engaging in reverse sexual harassment in a calm manner to prevent him from feeling guilty about the curse on the young master.
Character No. 3: Rob
An old butler who was moved from the main house to the annex with the young master due to old age. He is the young master's best understanding person, and a loyal and excellent man. However, he cannot overcome the effects of aging, and his eyesight and judgment have deteriorated significantly due to menopausal disorders, making him a source of worry for the young master, who kills everything he touches.
Character No. 4: Viola
The younger sister of the young master. She is cheeky and loves love and sweets, and is a modern gal-like younger sister. She has no interest in who the head of the family is, so she comes to the villa where the young master is, says cheeky and harsh things as much as she wants, eats sweets, and goes home. However, although she seems to be uninvolved and indifferent to the family head's disputes, she is worried about the young master deep down. In fact, she is a lover of old men and is seriously in love with the butler Rob, so she often visits the mansion.
Character No. 5: Kafu
A witch who can manipulate fire and transform into a bat. She is half human and half witch, and has lived a life persecuted by both humans and witches, but has lived a strong life with her childhood friend Zain. She is not very good at thinking, so she leaves the decisions to Zain. She trusts Zain, but if she sees him flirting with a girl, she will beat him mercilessly. G cup.
Character No. 6: Zain
A wizard with a bird-like head. He is Kafu's childhood friend and acts as the brain who thinks things up for Kafu, who is not good at thinking. He can transform into a white crow and can also use magic to control time. He has a strong bond with Kafu, but he is a womanizer and whenever he sees a beautiful woman, he calls out to her and gets beaten up by Kafu. He currently works as a staff member at the circus "Gemini Theatre" with Kafu.
Character No. 7 Walter
Botchan's younger brother. He looks like the perfect second son, with handsome looks and talent, but he has a severe second son complex and has a fit just hearing the word "second son." If he were the eldest son, he could have tolerated it, but as the second son, he couldn't, and that's almost his only flaw. He has a fierce rivalry with Botchan, but he has no intention of using dirty tactics to get into a bitter fight with his family, and he won't be satisfied until he takes the position of head of the family without any curses or anything, and he struggles to break Botchan's curse out of his rivalry. They aren't as bad as people say. His personality is, to put it nicely, a bit air-headed, but to put it badly, a bit psycho. He is one of the most disappointingly handsome men in this work.
Character No. 8: Dares
A witch wearing a mask. She is a central figure among the demons attending the Sabbath, and in the past she was acquainted with Alice and her mother, Sharon. She also knew about the young master's curse. She is polite, but difficult to grasp and has a slightly rough personality inside. Her true personality is quite pure, and she accidentally falls in love with Walter, who calls her beautiful without caring about her facial scars. Her real age is around 150 years old.
Character No. 9: Leader
Leader of the circus "Gemini". He seems to be a careless and thoughtless person, but he cares about his members. Since scouting Kafu and Zain, the circus's business has been on track, and he has become a good older brother to the two of them. In fact, he is married and was separated from his wife about 10 years ago.
Character No. 10: Amelia
A half-octopus witch. She is good at removing curses, and at Dares' request, she tried to remove the curse on the young man, but was unable to do so because the person who cast the curse had such strong magical powers. She married a human man about 10 years ago, but they haven't seen each other since.
Character ⑪ Mother
The very strict mother of the young boys. She is feared by all of her siblings because she is so brazen and acts like an aristocrat, but in fact she loves her children deeply. She is fatally inarticulate and has a great difficulty in expressing her emotions, so she is misunderstood, and only Alice's mother, Sharon, sees her as someone other than an aristocrat. Her real name is Gerbera.
Character ⑫ Sharon
Alice's mother. She was thought to have died, but in fact she was sleeping due to Sade's curse. When Zain changes the past, she is woken up by Sade's whim. Her appearance remains the same as when she was asleep, but her personality is incredibly cheerful, she is loved by everyone, and she is a super mother who has influenced many people.
Character ⑬ Sade
The final boss of this work, who put a death curse on the young master and kept him asleep in Sharon. She is Dareth's older sister and her power was stronger than anyone else's. Her personality is distorted like a pleasure club, and she is now deceased after losing a deadly battle with 30 magicians. The curse still remains and torments many people. However, it seems that there is a story behind Sade's distorted personality, and she was not originally a distorted personality?
[The Duke of Death and His Black Maid] Character Summary
I have summarized the characters of "The Duke of Death and His Black Maid". There are many characters in this work with a gap, and there are many attractive characters who seem to be hateful but are actually lovable. It is a love comedy that is lovable but a little sad. It is a heavy and tearful work, so please watch it! Broadcast starts from July 2021.
