Synopsis of Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid

As the flower's graceful, fragile petals wither to lifeless ashes, the young duke tragically remembers the despicable power that has been thrust upon him: the ability to kill everything he touches. Despised by his family, he is sent to live in near isolation. Thankfully, he's 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 his continued frustration with the limits placed on him by his unfortunate ability. Therefore, he decides to break the curse that has weighed on him for so many years, not only for his own sake, but also for Alice's, as he is painfully aware of how difficult it is to avoid contact with a loved one.
