Mato Seihei no Slave Synopsis
Wondering what Chained Soldier is about? Imagine you’re trudging through the monotony of life and suddenly portals to a demon realm open. Suddenly, the threats to your existence skyrocket, and your continued time on Earth becomes less assured. Years ago, that’s what happened in Japan when the alternate dimension, Mato, the Demon City, became intertwined with Earth.
When ultra-terrestrial beings entered our world and conflict started, humanity quickly remembered its place on the food chain. That is, until kawaii waifus decided to taste random fruit from the demon world and gained supernatural powers. Once transformed into pseudo-mahou shoujos (am I wrong?), these girls gave humanity a fighting chance. And with their new powers, the Demon Defense Force (DDF) was born — humanity’s only hope against the demon scum.
But then, Yuuki Wakura found himself in the world of Mato, and the DDF’s seventh squadron rescued him. An interesting thing happened: Yuuki became the only male in Japan to fight as a member of the DDF! But there’s a catch — to do so, he has to transform into a fearsome monster and submit himself to the squad’s commander (he has to become a Chained Soldier, if you will). And in return, he gets plenty of ecchi moments!
HIDIVE streams the “slightly censored” first season of Mato Seihei no Slave. An English dub is available for this title.
