In case you’re missing the ecchi anime, you’ll be happy to know that Koharu Inoue’s manga The Duke of Death and his Maid will officially receive an anime adaptation, with Generic release date set for 2021. The series is produced by JC Staff (Toradora !, Food Wars), who recently showed trailers and key visuals.
Inoue’s work began serializing on Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry website in 2017 and has over 170 chapters published. The summary is as follows: “In In a large mansion lives a boy, an aristocrat nicknamed the Duke of Death, who kills everything he touches. With him lives his maid, the young Alice, who likes to tease him every day. The two are starting to like each other, but how can they be together if they can’t even touch?“.
Yoshiki Yamakawa (Kill Me Baby, Little Busters !, Hi Score Girl) directs the anime at JC Staff while Yusuke Suzuki Directed the CGI scenes at Shogakukan Music & Digital Entertainment. Hideki Shirane (Date A Live, DanMachi) writes the script based on the original work while Michiru Kuwabata (Danchi Tomoo, Hi Score Girl) draws the characters.
