Back in September we got word that The Duke of Death and His Maid—the anime adaptation of Koharu Inoue’s manga of the same name—would be getting a second season. Now the next season is lined up for a July premiere, and a new teaser trailer is here along with a fresh visual to preview the continuation.
Visual:
Crunchyroll streams the first season—which premiered in July 2021 and ran for 12 episodes—and Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga in English. Here’s the official manga synopsis:
When the duke was a young boy, a witch made it so that any living thing he touched died. Unable to cope with such a cursed child, his family sent him away to live in an old mansion. Now a young man, his only companions are an elderly butler and his childhood friend, a buxom, blonde maid named Alice. Despite the fact that touching the duke means instant death, Alice is constantly teasing him, getting close and flirting mercilessly. But even though Alice loves to make the duke blush, her affection for him is the real deal. Can the two figure out a way to break the witch’s spell?
