The anime’s creative team paints a vivid picture of the narrative:
“Once enchanted with the devastating curse of ‘Kill anyone he touches,’ a young noble boy named ‘Bocchan’ has lived a life plagued by rejection. However, he has never truly been alone, for he finds unwavering support in his dedicated maid, Alice, and the faithful old butler, Rob, who has cared for Bocchan since childhood.
Recent events have led to an unlikely friendship with a witch, and even his distant relationship with his own family has seen some improvement. Yet, the elusive solution to lift the curse that keeps him from touching the one he loves remains a puzzle.
Now, as Bocchan and Alice embark on a quest to unravel this enigmatic situation, their fates take an electrifying turn. Despite their ardent desire, they are forbidden from touching one another, igniting a captivating romance between the two.”
Adding to the anime’s allure, Natsuki Hanae and Ayumi Mano have joined forces to perform the opening theme song, titled “Kimi to Revue,” while Nasuo☆ graces us with the enchanting ending theme song, “Hoshikuzu Requiem.”
