死神坊ちゃんと黒メイド [Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid] #1

Against a luminous full moon and a shower of crimson rose petals, a pale young nobleman in a top hat and formal black coat stands face-to-face with a striking blonde maid dressed in elegant gothic black, red roses blooming dramatically around them as dark birds wheel overhead. This first volume of The Duke of Death and His Maid by 井上小春 (Inoue Koharu) sets a beautifully moody, romantic tone right from the cover — the visual tension between the two figures feels charged with both melancholy and warmth. Published by Shogakukan under the Shonen Sunday Comics Special imprint, this is a series that wears its gothic-romance heart proudly on its sleeve.
