What Is the Story of Chained Soldier?

Set in an alternate near-future Japan, mysterious gateways open up into a demon-infested dimension known as Mato. The dimension produces magical peaches that confer superhuman capabilities, but these powers can only be unlocked by women. As a result, a matriarchal social hierarchy emerges, defended by the elite Anti-Demon Corps.

The narrative centers on Yuuki Wakura, a high school graduate who stumbles into Mato and gets rescued by Kyouka Uzen, the formidable commander of the 7th Squad. To fight off hordes of demonic Shuuki, Kyouka uses her unique ability to transform Yuuki into her powerful combat mount. However, unleashing Yuuki’s physical form comes at a specific cost: Kyouka must provide physical rewards after every engagement, leading to a dangerous dynamic of combat and intimate tension.
