Summary of Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid
Cursed by a witch as a child, a young duke gained the unwanted power to kill any living thing he touched. The Duke is forced to move away from his family and into a large mansion deep in the forest. He is treated as if he doesn't exist and is constantly shunned by his peers. However, he is not entirely alone. Rob and Alice, her butler and maid, are always by her side. Alice loves to tease him, and as their relationship grows, the Duke sets out to break free of his deadly curse. Of course you're going to need help, and who better to do that than the various denizens of the supernatural?
