The story begins when a down-on-his-luck boy named Yūki Wakura meets Uzen Kyōka, a girl who has gained the power of the peach, and is the captain of the 7th Anti-Demon Squad.


Since it is not explicitly stated, I'll assume the boy is the truly unlucky one to have the title from the series title.

If AGK was a little over the top with its violent moments, then Mato Seihei is the opposite of that. A little over the top with its perversion.

Honestly, the "Slave" thing is just because of the description of the superpower of the female lead. When he is not fighting/getting into ecchi situation, our MC is basically being a housekeeper/janitor.

Also, the "slave" power have to be renewed before every battle, so it's not like he couldn't quit anytime he wants (outside of battle), he just doesn't mind and neither do the girls. There can be few uncomfortable moments in the manga, but they aren't related to the slave power, just generic manga things spoiler[like overly gropey tomboy bi/lesbain]. In general it's really good ecchi with likeable characters (most of them at least), many fetishes, plot is somewhat generic but not bad. I definitely recommend it, and I'm glad it got an anime.

A while ago, I read a few chapters of the manga. I'm extremely excited for this one.

The kindest work of Takahiro by far and one of my favorite action ecchi manga in recent years, the ecchi's purpose in this one is similar to DxD's so it's not purposeless lucky sukebe scenes which tend to bother some.

I'm glad for the news, while the pace is a bit too fast overall, the characters are all likable, i hope they won't change too much things like Akame's anime did.

See you soon Hinowa.

Hopefully nothing gets toned down too much because the balance of fanservice and story is what makes this series work.

Edit: Nvm apparently I'm already wrong about Kyouka lol

I hope the manga will get an English release, preferably before the anime starts.

That sounds like something up my alley, hopefully it has an AT-X uncensored version if it's necessary.

This series is honestly really great and has a lot of heart. I remember not really being into the pilot chapter, but it gets so much better after that. Really exciting news.

I definitely see this show rubbing a lot of people the wrong way considering that the slave power forces his "owners" spoiler[to give him sexual favors against their will as "rewards". It literally takes control of their actions and makes them strip for him.]

Haven't gotten around to checking out the manga, but great to see an anime coming so I can check it out that way. Really enjoyed Akame, so looking forward to this.
