Chained Soldier Synopsis
There have always been theories that, under the right conditions, different dimensions could collide and interact. For Japan, that theory became reality when the demon world, Mato, started merging into the real world. And if the idea of an unknown world wasn’t enough to shake things up, demonic beings called Shuuki began crossing over to Earth, causing an existential crisis. At first, humanity was pretty powerless against the forces from Mato. But everything changed when people found out that a fruit from Mato could grant women magical powers.
For Yuuki Wakura, even with a personal connection to Mato, that world still feels impossibly far away. Or at least, that’s what he thought—until he suddenly finds himself transported to Mato. Thrown into a life-or-death situation, Yuuki is saved by Kyouka Uzen, the chief of the Anti-Demon Corps’ 7th Unit. But as the 7th Unit quickly gets overwhelmed, it seems like Yuuki’s life is about to end. That is, until Kyouka uses her ability on him, transforming him into a monstrous being strong enough to stand against Shuuki. From that moment on, everything in Yuuki’s life changes forever.
