Aniplus-Asia announced last Friday that it will air a simulcast of the television anime of Koharu Inoue's The Duke of Death and His Maid (Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid) manga. Aniplus-Asia will premiere the anime on July 4 at 10:00 p.m. GMT +8. Aniplus-Asia began streaming an English-subtitled teaser trailer for the anime on Monday.
The anime will premiere in Japan on July 4.
The manga's story centers on the titular Duke of Death, cursed to steal the life from any living thing that he touches. He is accompanied by his maid Alice, who enjoys teasing him, but is the only remaining person devoted to him.
Yoshiki Yamakawa (Kill Me Baby, Little Busters!, Hi Score Girl) is directing the anime at J.C. Staff. Shogakukan Music & Digital Entertainment is in charge of the CGI. Hideki Shirane (Date A Live, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) is in charge of series composition. Michiru Kuwabata (Danchi Tomoo, Hi Score Girl) is drawing the character designs. Yūsuke Suzuki is the CG director. Gen Okuda and Takeshi Watanabe are composing the music.
Inoue launched the manga on Shogakukan's Sunday Webry web manga site in October 2017. Shogakukan published the manga's 12th compiled book volume on May 12.
