Synopsis
Decades ago, gates to Mato — a supernatural dimension producing dangerous entities and miraculous peaches — opened across Japan. The peaches grant abilities, but only to women. Men can't eat them at all, creating a world where all powerful combatants are female and the military operates on female leadership exclusively. Yuuki Wakura stumbles into Mato, is rescued by Kyouka Uzen — captain of a demon-hunting unit — and discovers that his unique ability is being dramatically empowered by her specific commands. Chained Soldier (Mato Seihei no Slave, Yohei Takemura) is an action fantasy that embraces its master-servant dynamic and ecchi content with complete confidence, delivering legitimately well-constructed battle sequences alongside its fanservice. **Ongoing in Monthly Sunday Gene-X. The anime (Seven Arcs) released in Winter 2024.**
