Heartwarming moments, sexy art, and stakes art exactly what I expected from Chained Soldier from the start, and this tankoubon of the series didn't fail to deliver this mix. Nei finally warmed up to Yuuki, but given how the slave reward system goes in the story, let's hope for the sake of good taste that things don't beyond heartwarming friendship between the two, and Yuuki's long-lost sister delivered the promising start of bigger problems ahead for the reader to look forward to as Yuuki now is torn between loyalties; that to Kyouka and her squad and hat to his sister (who despises them). A few sexual content moments were risque, but at least they weren't too salty and managed to still be in good taste and capable of giving a good laugh. Lastly, Kyouka's bond with Yuuki strengthened at the start as she managed to resolved the cliffhanger of the previous tankoubon by disrupting her rival Tenka's sexual advances (at least for now), reminding Yuuki of where his loyalty lies, but given her disgust face after her sexy moment of making out with Yuuki while being half-naked (I like that scene by the way), it looks like it will take some time until she finally gives Yuuki the "I love you" before Tenka does since she claims she has no control of her body when rewarding him. While sexual content continues to be important to Chained Soldier's story, the visual sex appeal of the women, whether they appear clothed, half-naked, or fully naked, makes everything enjoyable, Kyouka, Himari, and Shushu earned their spots in my list of fictional women I'd love to be with. Here's to more sweet moments, perils, and sexy stuff in the coming tankoubons of Chained Soldier, which I now call an antidote to heal the woes of those sick of the ongoing ruination of women in western media entertainment in general as well as those in big-budget Japanese video games. If you haven't yet read this series, what are you waiting for? Buy copies of previous tankoubons and this one before they sell out!
