‘Chained Soldier’ Spoilers

This dark fantasy action series is not for children. “Chained Soldier” centers on Yuuki Wakura, a recent high school graduate who mistakenly enters a monster portal in an alternate version of Japan where monsters known as Shuuki roam and a rare peach tree can offer women magical powers. Inside, he meets Kyouka Uzen, a lady who ate one of these supernatural peaches and rose to become the monster-hunting commander of the Demon Defense Force's 7th squad.

Kyouka's abilities function by "enslaving" Shuuki to battle other Shuuki. When Yuuki and Kyouka are besieged, the only way out is for her to enslave him. They get together to confront the mystery monsters and save the world.
