They include the usual Yuya Hirose (Yuki), Akari Kito (Kyoka), Yume Miyamoto (Himari), Mari Hino (Shushu), Hina Tachibana (Nei Okamura), as well as Maaya Uchida (Tenka).

Chained Soldier (Mato Seihei no Slave) is originally a manga series written by Takahiro (Akame Ga Kill author), with illustrations by Yohei Takemura. The manga has been serialized on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ online platform since January 2019. Yen Press is publishing the manga in English, and they describe the story:
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?!
