What is Mato Seihei no Slave?
This action fantasy series is set in a world where demonic gates called ‘Mato’ spawn all over Japan along with a strange new resource called peaches that gives magical abilities only to women. The demonic gates also unleashed monsters called Yomotsu Shuuki that wreak havoc on the land they tread. The terror of these monsters keeps escalating till the government decides to form anti-demon corps to combat them.
These anti-demon corps consist only of women who have evolved after being granted powerful abilities from the Peaches. Kyoka Uzen, the chief of the Seventh Anti-Demon Corps unit rescues a high-school student after he ends up at the entrance of a Mato gate. She realizes his efficiency in making her Peach powers more enhanced and offers him a position in the corps to essentially be his slave. As bizarre as the offer stands, Yuuki Wakura accepts her proposal and begins a rather strange series of events.
