The fantasy anime series known as "Mato Seihei no Slave" or Chained Soldier (Review) accurately fits the description provided. The story is set in a world where dangerous entities called Yomotsu Shuuki, or Shuuki, emerge from portals to a different dimension known as "Mato," threatening humanity. To combat these monsters, an elite all-female organization called the Anti-demon Corps was formed, as only women can gain special powers by consuming "Peaches" found in the Mato dimension.

The narrative centers on Yuuki Wakura, a high school student who accidentally wanders into a Mato entrance and is attacked by Shuuki. He is rescued by Kyouka Uzen, the powerful commander of the 7th Squad of the Anti-demon Corps. In a desperate situation, Kyouka uses her unique ability to "enslave" Yuuki, transforming him into a powerful, canine-like combat form that can effectively fight the monsters. This unusual partnership forms the core of the series, with Yuuki becoming Kyouka's "chained soldier" and also serving as the dormitory caretaker for her all-female unit.

"Chained Soldier" explores themes of power dynamics, trust, and survival in a world where gender roles are inverted due to the Peaches granting abilities exclusively to women. Yuuki's transformation and the subsequent "rewards" he receives from Kyouka and other female commanders, which involve intimate physical contact, add a unique and sometimes controversial element to the action-fantasy genre. The series is based on a popular web manga written by Takahiro and illustrated by Yohei Takemura, with the anime adaptation airing its first season in early 2024 and a second season announced for 2026.
