“Chained Soldier” is set in a Japan affected by the opening of portals to a parallel dimension known as “Mato”. In this scenario, a mysterious phenomenon called “Peaches” arises, which grants extraordinary abilities exclusively to women. However, along with this new power, the fearsome “Yomotsu Shuuki” appear, beings responsible for unleashing devastating disasters.
Faced with this imminent threat, the government establishes the select “Anti-Demon Corps”, an elite unit composed of women gifted with the gift of “Peaches”. In the midst of this situation, Yuuki Wakura, an ordinary high school student, is drawn into this fascinating and dangerous universe when he gets lost in a Mato portal.
His fate becomes intertwined with that of Kyouka Uzen, the 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”, she makes him a singular proposal: join the corps as her “ally”. This alliance promises to lead Yuuki down unexpected paths, full of challenges and revelations that could prove more enriching than he could have ever imagined.
