    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 12 Ch. 167.2 - Warming Up

    Nope... he's never been given a name. He's just known as the Duke, or Death Boy, or Bocchan or whatever in the original Japanese...

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 12 Ch. 167.1 - Valentine's Special

    I assume you meant Sharon, Alice's mother. Gerbera is the name of the Duke's mother. Also, I still agree with many that it's a legitimate bond of friendship and nothing more. We already have Keto and Teto. Besides, Gerbera is just a Komi-type that has her energetic and gregarious friend, like...

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 12 Ch. 165 - The Two on Ice

    Well, considering PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy... (check yourself by looking up the phrase), and every other *D is another type of Doctorate... yeah.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 12 Ch. 163 - Let's Test

    Honestly, I agree- the 'filler' is the main charm of this series. If you don't like it, why did you persist past the first volume, which was basically all filler, except for the establishing of the premise?

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 12 Ch. 162 - Music Box of Memories

    You mean a story where a mother dies in an accident and her daughter ends up living in a tent for a time? Otherwise, there's a lot of stories that begin with a road accident, so much so it's a trope (curse you, Truck-kun!).

    The Duke of Death and His Maid - Vol. 12 Ch. 160 - I Sympathize With You

    What Elhao said- her mind is full of naughty thoughts. It's not hard to guess why she does certain things.

    The Duke of Death and His Maid - Vol. 12 Ch. 159 - A Thousand Conditions

    You mean Amelia, right? Why do people keep thinking the octopus girl's name is Scylla? They confusing her for the mythical beast, I suppose? To be fair, Caph has often felt like an outcast because of that half-breed status - human world not understanding her, witch world looking down on her for...

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 11 Ch. 156.5 - Omake

    I think the idea is that, like the curses on the other people, the scars have been rendered 'permanent', and may require similar lengths as the curses to heal.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 11 Ch. 156 - I Wish...

    I'm convinced that's exactly it. She's overjoyed for his earnest intentions, even if not voiced at that moment, and regardless of what she thinks is 'right' for her Duke.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 11 Ch. 155 - Painful Experience

    Yeah, it got explained real early on, pretty sure, that clothes are not protective enough, unless they are particularly thick. Like the Duke's first trip into town in that giant getup with the metal cage barrier.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 11 Ch. 154 - Farewell

    Well, it was implied the eyeball wanted to be 'cared for', I thought? But maybe it wasn't expecting to be put in a cage.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 11 Ch. 153 - Duel

    W When you stop whining, maybe. Oh wait, it's already over.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 11 Ch. 150 - Oath

    We already knew about the aunt when we had the flashback about when Rob went to find Alice - we met her aunt who was clearly glad to be rid of the child.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 11 Ch. 143 - Recreation

    Did you and everyone else confused skip a chapter or pages or something?

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 11 Ch. 142 - Awakening

    Yeah... that seems like absurd ideas for a far darker and edgier story than this. I really wish people reading this had just accepted they were separate people. I feel like they were all three seen at the same time by people like Rob in flashbacks already, so... Anyway, the moment I saw...

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 10 Ch. 138 - New Students

    There's also the fact that they can't actually touch- the barrier makes it so they can't really feel much of anything, except maybe the pressure of something pushing against them. No tactile feeling, no warmth. Sure, it's better than no contact at all, I suppose, but she expressed her...

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 10 Ch. 137 - Ability Contest

    You mean Walter- Keto is the plant gyaru girl.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 10 Ch. 135 - What's This?

    To be honest, I don't like the idea of undoing things in the past. Sure, that would make Zain mostly useless narratively, but I don't tend to like messing with time too much, especially since reversing the Duke's curse in that way would generally mean undoing ALL of his time spent with Alice in...

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 10 Ch. 134 - The Seat Beside

    But he can't feel it. That's the problem. Same problem with the dream worlds from earlier on in the story. No... it's literally a Faust reference. Arknights and this are referencing classical literature.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 10 Ch. 133 - Snow Viewing Bath

    I feel like the plot ramped up as things went along... but then I consider new stories showing up to also be plot, because I enjoy those, like the circus sub-plot that mainly focused around secondary couples. Why ask the question when you can just go back and start reading again? Really, the...
