The anime Chained Soldier will have a Second Season
At the end of the broadcast of episode #12 of the series, the official website of the TV anime “Chained Soldier” announced the production of a second season for the series. However, not much information has been released about this new installment of the anime, so we recommend keeping an eye on Chained Soldier’s respective official media so you don’t miss any updates.
The manga Chained Soldier has the following description: The story places us 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.
