Mato Shihei no Slave

TLDR: Slave to Hells Soldiers is a really fun adventure full of flashy action, well thought out characters, and a story that makes you want to dive deeper or (in my personal opinion) even inspire you to add to the world

Summary: When the monster-filled world of Mato opened in modern day Japan, the whole world is threatened by the Shuuki that inhabit it. Even more mysterious are the peaches found in Mato as they give women who eat them special powers. Yukki Wakura is an average student who when walking home one day, worrying about his future as an office worker, a gate opens before him. During his rescue the captain of the demon corps 7th unit Kyouka Uzen grants him extraordinary strength and a monstrous form... as her slave. 

Romance: StHS is action first and romance second, but that's not to say that the romance is bad!. With the strong characters and the dynamics built between them, there is a great foundation that the authors build upon very well. 

Action: StHS action is extremely well done, maybe even some of the best I have seen. It is flashy, and fun, and builds to be larger than life. Refreshingly, you can really feel the growth of the characters through practice and new techniques, rather than getting a new big power up right before the big boss.

Slave to Hell's Soldiers (Mato Seihei no Slave, officially localized as Chained Soldier) is an erotic action manga with romantic subplots, written by Takahiro and illustrated by Youhei Takemura. This review will be up to chapter 125 as that is what I  have access to unless some major things do change.  When I read it a year or two ago I enjoyed it enough, but, coming back and rereading for this review had me falling in love. The story is quick but done very well, with very few scenes that don't build the story, the world, or the characters and their dynamics. It's a prime example of efficiency in writing. When not building up the story or characters, it is pure action and - sometimes - pure fan service. The Action is fast and fluid - doing a good job of keeping you on the edge of your seat. Even if you know who will win (and there are times where you might be wrong) StHS keeps you wondering what will come next. StHS has built enough faith and trust with me to feel that my recommendation is worth it.

If you look at the story from just a beat-by-beat perspective, then it really is not too out of the ordinary. How those moments are crafted, though, really brings the whole manga to life. The efficiency of the story comes from author skill and maximizing the use of every scene. Most if not all scenes fit multiple purposes, never is there a moment of dead air. A good example of this would be the fan service: It starts off purely for the erotica, but as the audience and characters would be getting used to its presence, Takahiro adds more elements to it. A good example is how everyone reacts to having to do sexual favors as a reward for Yuuki.  Another example is how the characters talk about the latest battle - or what their plans for the next battle, thus adding even more characterization. 

There is an exception: the action. StHS is about action first and foremost; and it takes the  time to let you really enjoy it. There is still some characterization and story in these moments, but the focus never moves away from the fight. Unlike a lot of other action stories that have the protagonist get stronger with a power up seemingly out of nowhere, the reader sees Yuuki and the rest of the Mato Corps train and think about new strategies - even if we don't see them in action until the next large threat comes along a few chapters later. Allowing the growth feels earned and worked for in the quickly paced story of StHS. 

Even when we look at the action as isolated moments instead of as a whole, it is larger than life, often with threats that could take out entire cities if not more - and you really feel the threat. There is not a major fight that is one sided. The person in control is passed back and forth as both sides use different strategies and learn to fight each other mid-combat. That is, with the exception of The Commander of the Defence Corp, who can seemingly take out any threat that comes her way - to the point that no threat that even makes her worry has come yet. It's hard to write a character so overpowered whose strength is still felt. Slave to Hell's Soldiers accomplished it. The protagonists don't win every time, they don't lose in a major way where someone dies or is injured in lasting ways (mostly due to healing powers), but even without that threat you stay on the edge of your seat, biting to find what happens next.

Right after a large fight things need to wind things down and let you rest before the action kicks up again, StHS does this by having Kyouka Uzen's slave ability give a "Reward". This reward system is described as giving a fitting reward to the slave for the work they did based on their latent desires. For Yuuki, this tends to be erotic. There is some level of dubious consent - as the people giving the reward have no control of their bodies - but after Yuuki learns what the reward tends to be, he talks to whoever would be using the power and they have reason they would be ok with the sexual acts. Oftentimes they see the rewards as a means to an end. Others like Yuuki enough that they would do the same acts even without it being forced. In the case of Tenka, she just joins in without any need to, though I would love to see the form Yuuki takes under her control. 

This does bring up the problem of age, though. Yuuki starts the story as a highschool senior, and the character ages are never stated in the story or even in the character bios between chapters. There are hints that time has passed and the cast has since aged, such as when Yuuki calls his friend and they mention that they haven't talked since they were in high school - as if they were in college or were an office worker. With younger characters such as Nei Ookawamura - who is in elementary School they tone it down to the point that it is no longer sexual. She only gives him a kiss on the cheek or head pats. 

The reasoning Slave to Hell's Soldiers provides for having its erotic moments is very light, and it's obvious that it is only there as much as is needed, as it doesn't build on other parts of the manga. It never becomes a point of conflict in the story, but it does build on the lighthearted tone that the series has. 

Outside of the erotic moments, the romance is done very gradually, and hasn't taken the focus of any chapter. There is a lot of character building and showing the relationship growth between Yuuki and the rest of the cast, giving StHS a stable foundation for when the romantic relationships do take a more solid form. Having established that they do care for each other a lot, but explained to the audience (and the chief to herself), as being a fellow soldier or worker rather than romantic. This stays the case until Kyouka starts becoming jealous of Yuuki spending time with other girls. 

Jealousy In stories is a double edged sword. If done well, you can have characters show more emotions - which is especially useful if the character keeps emotions hidden away from others and themselves. Done poorly, it leads to the audience being annoyed at a character and the plot entirely, as the easiest solution of communicating with each other is avoided. In Slave to Hell's Soldier's, it is done beautifully: as they set up the jealousy to where Kyouka doesn't know why she would feel that way; and before she could act on it, Yuuki decides to avoid Lending (the power that lets others control Yuuki and change his form) unless necessary. Even when the plot point is brought back up, by learning that the Lending process powers up the base form as well, Kyouka and Yuuki talk about it and decide together what to do. 

An interesting choice the author makes is that the two people first to  fall in love with Yuuki - and who are most open about their love - are Shushu Suruga and Tenka Izumo. Yet, these two never really use Lending. Shushu often even stops other girls from trying to seduce Yuuki, despite not really getting many moments of just the two of them after she falls in love. Tenka Izumo on the other hand, jumps into others' rewards because she wants the skinship. She even treats Yuuki’s sister as her own, acting like she and Yuuki are already married.

Writing aside, the art style is really cute. It starts off round and expressive, only to calm down and become more generic after the first chapter. It is still really good and the forms that Yukki takes contrast their surroundings by being very sharp and angular, causing  them to stand out and stick in the reader's mind. These forms, either through lending or with Himari Azuma, are distinct and representative of each character, keeping you excited to see the next form. Inspirational in the truest form, I kept Imagining myself in the world and thinking about what powers I would have.

Slave to Hell's Soldiers is an absolute blast of a read that I would recommend to anyone interested in a Erotic-Action-based Harem, especially if you like making fan works. With artstyle so round that sharpens to make stunning characters and monsters. A simple story that is so tight and sleek that it does what it wants and does it amazing. 

I will keep reading it as it releases and have high hopes for where it is going.

Angel Devil, Kobeni, fjmt and shihei lin in a meeting room together as fjmt asks who would lin want to survive for the next chapter, Kobeni chewing her fingers as Angel Devil slouches on the chair.

"Angel Devil" lin says.

"YES!" Kobeni screams, free at last.

"Ok I'll kill the Angel Devil." fjmt says.

"NOOOOO!" Kobeni wails as she falls to the floor sobbing like she emptied her savings on bad gacha pulls.

The Angel Devil jolts out of his seat, hands over his mouth.

"Thank you fjmt-san." The Angel Devil says, tears in his eyes.

Fjmt pats the Angel Devil on the shoulder.

"Don't thank me, thank your simps. I wouldn't have done it without them. I'm sure they'll be very happy for you."

now that i have calmed down i wanna briefly talk about this lil speech bubble on chapter 62.3

id: "oh, that's right. we still have plenty of onions. what should i make?"

a few pages ago, this is what twilight's recruiter said:

id: "this whole world is one giant onion. big and round, with one false layer after another. and if you cut through those layers of lies...there are gonna be tears."

the forger family being fully stocked with onions symbolizes how many lies each family member has filled the house with, just to ensure that they are a normal, functioning family.

but nothing that was founded on lies lasted forever. a single lie breaks trust, and someone once told me that trust precedes love. because love is personal. it's something you wouldn't share with a stranger.

sure, all three of them have harbored some sort of attachment to each other, and i think we can safely assume that loid and yor would be easier on anya once her secret's out. they might even be more protective of her.

but friction between loid and yor looks inevitable. especially if their agencies would be involved. as franky mentioned:

id: "i mean, doesn't that freak you out? they have no idea if they're being told the truth. but once the idea's in their head, they do a complete 180. weird, right?"

i honestly don't know how their relationship would unfold, but suppose they chose each other in the end. for anya's sake. and maybe because they fell in love with each other. it's the ending that we all want.

but it's hard to outgrow habits. it would only take one deviation from their usual routine for suspicion to take its root.

in psychology, there's this thing called triangulation in families. it happens when two parties cannot directly talk with each other, so as a result, a third party would serve as their communication channel, and this third party would be put under an extra layer of stress.

we already saw a glimpse of it on chapter 14, if only anya weren't a telepath and weren't emotionally mature, if only loid had held on to his suspicions.

it's the formula for dysfunctional families. the complete opposite of what they had all tried hard to maintain before the cat got out of the bag.

a complete 180.

and there are gonna be tears.

but i don't wanna be in tears. i trust shihei lin to prevent endo from drawing the saddest possible outcome.

his assistant kousei-sensei says it’s real, one punch man dude says it’s real, some other assistant for a different series says it’s real and some wsj editor follows the account and liked his tweet. i hope this isn’t a sick joke and wsj follows up with a statement.

it's 100% real. one of the editors following the account is shihei lin, who is the chief editor of jump+ (i believe that's his title now?) and launched chainsaw man, spy x family, hell's paradise, etc.

as you mentioned, yusuke murata, the artist of one punch man confirmed that the account was real on his twitter. other people following the account are the voice actresses for gon and killua (megumi han and mariya ise), the director of the chainsaw man anime, the author of pop team epic, the author of kemono jihen, voice actor hanae natsuki, and a number of other very notable people in the anime/manga industry.

IT'S 100% REAL

Goodbye Eri cover by Fujimoto Tatsuki sensei

According to editor Shihei Lin, the one shot will be compiled and published as a volume on July 4.

Chainsaw Man Part 2 is still under construction so please be patient and wait a little longer!

[musical-chick-13]

[In 2017, Koharu Nagayama (Fujimoto himself under an alias,[1] claiming to be his younger sister)[2] wrote on Twitter that the author would be "24, 25 or 26 years old"[3] and also that the author turned 25 that year.[4]Shogakukan also stated that the author was born in 1992.[5] However, according to Shihei Lin (Fujimoto's editor) and Shueisha, he was 17 in 2011 (turning 18 that year) when he sent his first one-shot work,[1][6] and according to Oricon he was born in 1993]

He doesn’t even have an officially confirmed birth year, I am actually obsessed with this man.

[w1cked-w1tch]

I'm kinda pissed that we aren't getting to see Kazeshini and Shihei interact because of this damn baby, but OH MY GOD is this so fucking funny. You and your Master aren't so different after all, huh Kazeshini?
