Chained Soldier (Mato Seihei no Slave) is an anime adaptation of a manga series written by Takahiro, the author of Akame Ga Kill, with illustrations by Yohei Takemura. Yen Press publishes the manga in English and describes the story as follows: Years ago, gates to a dangerous otherworldly dimension called Mato, or the "Demon City," began appearing across Japan. Those who consume the "peaches" found there gain unique abilities—but only if they're girls. When Yuuki Wakura, a down-on-his-luck high school boy, gets caught in a gate, he's rescued by Kyouka Uzen, the stunning commander of the 7th squad of the Demon Defense Force, who then orders him to become her slave?!
