What Is Chained Soldier?

Directed by Junji Nishimura and Goro Kuji for Seven Arcs, Chained Soldier stars the likes of Yuya Hirose as Yuki Wakura, Akari Kito as Kyoka Uzen, Yume Miyamoto as Himari Azuma, Mari Hino as Shushu Suruga, Chigusa Sano as Nei Okawamura, Maaya Uchida as Tenka Izumo, Nene Hieda as Yachiho Azuma, Reina Ueda as Sahara Wakasa, Tomori Kusunoki as Aoba Wakura, Sayaka Senbongi as Koko Zenibako, and Rina Hidaka as Naon Yuno. HIDIVE will be exclusively streaming Chained Soldier when the anime premieres on January 4th as part of the Winter 2024 anime schedule, and they tease the new anime series as such: 

"Two supernatural forces appeared simultaneously on Earth: entrances to another dimension known as Mato, and Peaches, resources that give unique abilities to women. From the Mato come Yomotsu Shuuki, dangerous monsters that leave destruction in their wake. The government's Anti-demon Corps stands against these creatures, employing women empowered by Peaches to face the monstrous threat. Yuki Wakura watches these forces clash from a distance, but when he unexpectedly runs afoul of a Yomotsu Shuuki, he's rescued by Kyouka Uzen, the chief of the Seventh Unit of the Anti-demon Corp—and she sees something in him that could turn the tide of the monster incursion. Yuki holds the unique power to make Peaches more effective, but he'll have to become Kyoka's willing slave to join the fight against the Yomotsu Shuuki and save the world."
