Continuing Oguri Cap’s Legacy
Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray follows the journey of Oguri Cap, a unique horse girl whose unconventional running style earns her the moniker “monster” as she strives for supremacy at Kasamatsu Training Center Academy. The second part will see Oguri Cap continue her challenging path, facing off against formidable contenders, including Tamamo Cross, and other international racers as she aims to become the strongest runner.
The anime is based on the manga of the same name, written by Masafumi Sugiura and illustrated by Taiyo Kuzumi, which has been serialized in Weekly Young Jump since June 2020. The manga has over 8 million copies in circulation.
