An Anvilicious version of the Red String of Fate, Chains of Love are often utilized in manga artwork, especially in Shoujo and Yaoi. Used to indicate that two people are "bound" together literally and often unwillingly, perhaps suggesting that one of the two is the "old ball and chain" to the other. Often used to generate sexual tension between the chained parties that may or may not progress into Slap-Slap-Kiss depending on the plot.
May overlap with Because Destiny Says So and What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic? If used in a villainous or negative way, this often overlaps with Bondage Is Bad.
Alternately can be seen as bits of cloth, thorns, or in one case, red wires, an amalgamation of the Chains and Red String that's possibly even more Anvilicious than the two separately.
On the non-symbolic side is the Chained Heat plot. See also Slave Collar.

Pandora's Tower: Aeron carries around a literal chain, enchanted with a lock of Elena's hair, allowing him to track her location and monitor the progress of her curse. It avoids being too ostentatious since apart from being an incredibly dangerous weapon that gets stronger with the couple's bond, it's also an exploration aid and device-activating multitool, among other plot-driving powers.

The 39 Steps: It is commented that after being handcuffed together for most of the film, it makes sense for the male and female protagonists to marry.

Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts: Played for Laughs. Yandere Shouko Kirishima will do whatever it takes to bring Tsundere Yuuji Sakamoto with her to the movies. Even if it means chaining him up and applying her reluctant boyfriend a Static Stun Gun for some Shock and Awe and a twisted variant of Electric Torture.

The Familiar of Zero: Used in the second season's Ending Theme; Louise mentions taking Saito for a walk with the "chains of love" (or "leash of love", same difference). Given how she treats him normally, this is entirely unsurprising.

Death Note Light and L are literally chained together during a story arc to prove an amnesiac Light's innocence. Genre Savvy Misa points out that the main symbolic meaning is something else entirely.

Descendants of Darkness: The back cover of one volume and at least one or two other official illustrations show Depraved Bisexual Muraki and Tsuzuki in this pose, featuring red or black ribbons or chains. Not surprising given Muraki's tastes...

Code Geass:
Quite frequently with Lelouch and Suzaku in official art. The art book "Mutuality: CLAMP works in Code Geass" is full of this.
Exaggerated in the second season's first ending theme; which puts everyone in chains (with the exception of Nunnally, who gets ribbons instead). The second ending sequence puts Lelouch and Suzaku in chains again.
