## Synopsis

Chained Soldier (2024-present) is a Japanese anime action fantasy series produced by Seven Arcs and Pony Canyon and broadcast on AT-X, adapted from a manga. Its protagonist Yuuki Wakura, voiced by Yuya Hirose, is pulled into a servitude arrangement with the commanding Chief Kyoka Uzen, voiced by Akari Kito, who holds him to service both on the battlefield and in daily life. Around them gather a squad of women armed with powers drawn from Peaches, among them Himari Azuma (Yume Miyamoto), Nei Ookawamura (Hina Tachibana) and Tenka Izumo (Maaya Uchida). The engine of the show is the uneasy power dynamic between Yuuki and Kyoka, and the squad's missions against destructive monsters pouring in from the Mato dimension to threaten the earth. Each episode mixes large-scale creature battles with comic bedroom and household friction, and the story unfolds across two seasons of twelve episodes each. The setting is a contemporary Japanese city under attack, and the tone blends playful fan-service romance with stakes-driven action. Fans of Highschool DxD, Strike the Blood and Kaguya-sama: Love Is War will find resonance in its mix of supernatural battles and charged romantic tension.
