Umamusume: Cinderella Gray is adapted from the manga illustrated by Taiyo Kuzumi, with Masafumi Sugiura (UmamusumeS1 co-series composer) serving as scriptwriter and Junnosuke Ito (S1 producer) taking on the role of planning composer. The first cour debuted on April 6 JST, and the new cour is anticipated in October. The synopsis for cour 2 states:

Hailing from the humble countryside, Oguri Cap has turned the racing world on its head. Her rampage through the national race scene seemed unstoppable… until it wasn’t. Tamamo Cross, the current peak of racing, has bested the Beast and declared Oguri Cap her rival. But Oguri Cap can’t afford to keep her attention on Tamamo Cross alone. One by one, racers from all over the world arrive in Japan, ready to demonstrate their own prowess. Up against the best the world has to offer, our ashen racer will need to reach beyond her limits if she wants to stand a chance… Keep those eyes peeled—a Cinderella story full of twists and turns lies ahead!

The manga has been serialized since 2020 in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump and currently has 20 volumes as of June 2025. It commenced its final arc in July. Umamusume: Cinderella Gray is a part of the broader Umamusume: Pretty Derby media mix franchise established by Cygames, which encompasses a popular mobile game that launched in English on June 26. Previous anime adaptations include a 2018 P.A.Works-produced TV series, its 2021 second season (produced by Studio KAI with assistance from P.A.Works), the 2023 Studio KAI-produced third season, web anime Umamusume: Pretty Derby —Road to the Top (CygamesPictures), and the Umamusume: Pretty Derby — Beginning of a New Era anime movie (also produced by CygamesPictures).
