Writer Takahiro and illustrator Yohei Takemura’s Chained Soldier manga—known in Japan as Mato Seihei no Slave—is coming to TV in an anime adaptation in 2023. While we wait for it to begin, the opening theme song performer has been revealed.
The name of the song itself hasn’t been announced yet, but it will be performed by Akari Kito, who also voices lead heroine Kyouka Uzen.

Yen Press releases the Chained Soldier manga—which is serialized in Japan in Shueisha’s digital Shonen Jump+ magazine—in English and describes it like so:
Decades ago, gates to an otherworldly and dangerous dimension known as Mato—the “Demon City”—appeared across Japan. Those who partook in the “peaches” growing there gained unique abilities—but only if they’re girls. When down-in-the-dumps high school boy Yuuki Wakura finds himself caught up in a gate, he’s saved by Kyouka Uzen, the beautiful commander of the 7th squad of the Demon Defense Force, who…orders him to become her slave?!
