“Chained Soldier” plunges us into a Japan beset by the appearance of portals to the parallel dimension known as “Mato”. In this scenario, an enigmatic resource called “Peaches” emerges, which grants exceptional abilities exclusively to women. However, along with this new power, the fearsome “Yomotsu Shuuki” emerge, monsters responsible for devastating disasters.
Faced with this threat, the government establishes the exclusive “Anti-Demon Corps”, an elite unit composed of women gifted with the gift of Peaches. In this context, Yuuki Wakura, an ordinary high school student, finds himself immersed in this dazzling and dangerous world when he gets lost in a Mato portal.
His fate becomes intertwined with that of Kyouka Uzen, leader of the Seventh Unit of the Anti-Demon Corps. Recognizing the latent potential in Yuuki and the need for his collaboration to enhance the power of the Peaches, he presents him with a unique proposal: join the corps as his “slave”. This alliance promises to take Yuuki down an unexpected path, filled with challenges and revelations that could prove more rewarding than he could have ever imagined.
