What is Chained Soldier about?
The upcoming anime is based on the Chained Soldier (Mato Seihei no Slave) manga series written by Takahiro (Akame Ga Kill author) and illustrated by Yohei Takemura. It has been seralized on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ online platform since January 2019, and Yen Press is publishing the series in English. Here's a plot description from Yen Press:
Decades ago, gates to an otherworldly and dangerous dimension known as Mato—the “Demon City”—appeared across Japan. Those who partook in the “peaches” growing there gained unique abilities—but only if they’re girls. When down-in-the-dumps high school boy Yuuki Wakura finds himself caught up in a gate, he’s saved by Kyouka Uzen, the beautiful commander of the 7th squad of the Demon Defense Force, who…orders him to become her slave?!
