The first season of The Duke of Death and His Maid has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with both English dub and subtitle options. The series follows the titular Duke, a young noble cursed with the ability to kill anything he touches, forcing him into isolation.
Produced by J.C.Staff, known for their work on series like Toradora! and Food Wars!, the anime adapts the manga of the same name. It distinguishes itself with a full CGI animation style, a bold choice that lends a unique visual flair to the story of the Duke and his devoted maid, Alice, who teases him relentlessly despite his deadly touch.
The premise centers on the awkward, budding romance between the Duke and Alice, complicated by his lethal curse. While the fantasy elements are present, the core of the show lies in its romantic comedy dynamics and the emotional journey of a protagonist ostracized by his own power. The series garnered a 7.58 score on MyAnimeList from over 109,000 voters.
With Season 2 having recently concluded, the availability of Season 1 on Crunchyroll provides a perfect opportunity for viewers to dive into the complete story. The 12-episode run of the first season allows for easy binge-watching ahead of potential future installments.
