What Is Chained Soldier About?
Two supernatural forces arrived on Earth – portals to an alternate dimension known as Mato, and Peaches, extraordinary resources that bestow distinct abilities to women.
Yuki Wakura observes the battle of these forces from a distance, but his encounter with a Yomotsu Shuuki pushes him unexpectedly into danger.
Fortunately, Kyoka Uzen, the leader of the 7th Unit of the Anti-Demon Corp, comes to his rescue.
She recognized a potential in him that could shift the balance in the ongoing battle against the monstrous invasion. It's revealed that Yuki possesses the unique ability to enhance the effectiveness of Peaches.
However, to join the battle against the Yomotsu Shuuki and save the world, he must be willing to become Kyoka’s slave.
