Chained Soldier, originally titled Mato Seihei no Slave in Japan, is a Japanese online manga created by writer Takahiro and artist Yohei Takemura [ja]. The story began running on Shueisha’s Shōnen Jump+ digital platform starting in January 2019.
The narrative unfolds in a futuristic version of Japan, where mysterious gateways to a perilous alternate realm known as Mato have appeared nationwide. To combat the threats emerging from these portals, a elite unit called the Mato Defense Force (MDF)—composed entirely of women with extraordinary abilities—has been established. At the center of the tale is Yuuki Wakura, an ordinary young man who stumbles into Mato by chance and is saved by Kyouka Uzen, a high-ranking commander within the MDF.
The manga inspired a TV anime adaptation produced by Seven Arcs, which broadcast from January through March 2024.
