Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga for English releases and describes the plot of Volume 1 as:
The manga that inspired the anime: a gothic romcom between a cursed duke and his flirty maid!
When the duke was a young boy, a witch cast a powerful curse upon him, making it so that any living thing he touched would die. Now a young man, he lives in a sprawling mansion with only servants for his companions: an elderly butler, and his childhood friend, a busty blonde maid named Alice. Despite the curse, Alice is constantly flirting with him and seems to delight in making him blush! But how close can they truly grow as long as the curse is in place?
