The Duke of Death who cannot be touched, and can only be tempted by His Maid, is back for Season 2, and is still ongoing for Season 3 next year...I see that the reception is rather low and dwindling (a noticeable 25% drop in member counts, and a staggering 90% in user counts), especially if you didn't like the premiere season that came out back 2 Summers ago in 2021, partly in question towards the choice to go full CGI on this one, courtesy of SMDE a.k.a Shogakukan Music & Digital Entertainment.

Well, I'm sorry to say that the naysayers will never be silenced, for 2 Summers ahead in time, we finally have Season 2 of "My maid is in love with me, but we STILL cannot touch each other". And since there is enough material from mangaka Koharu Inoue's already completed manga to cover, we're officially now past the halfway mark of the manga, I hope that the anime can continue to adapt the remainder of the story towards the end for a completed adaptation in time to come (but save for Season 3 next year first).

The crux in Season 2 for the character cast is twofold: finding a way to cure Bocchan of his lingering curse that has been there since the beginning, as well as the coming of witches of Cuff and Zain, especially with the latter's magic, which could very well be the key player in helping Bocchan reverse the curse that was put on him, that coincidentally, could help Alice's mother Sharon be awakened as well. And it all hinges on finding the witches that were held responsible for this big affair: the current leader Daleth and her older sister Sade, which aside from being the main antagonist, she's physcially dead, but not soulfully dead yet. Even Sade did not spare her younger sister safely, scarring her for life by being disfigured with a head close to a naked skull, which Daleth uses her magic to hide it by showing her as an undead witch. It's a long way to recovery, for Bocchan, Alice, Cuff and Zain's queries must now be questioned by outsiders who know the witch business fairly well, and their services in full aid for the main cast to reach to the answer they've all been seeking.

Otherwise, everything pretty much stays the same as per Season 1, from the characters to J.C.Staff and SMDE's overall production, these are not likely to change as the seasons gloss along. What's different this time is the new OST for Season 2, and while both the OP and Nasuo's ED songs are good, I still have the emotional attachment from Season 1, so it's just a teeny step down.

There is progress, though this progress is in time to come. So, let's wait until Bocchan's curse can be broken, in Season 3 coming next year, garnering for the end of the story.
