Even the
most legendary races must come to an end. In an emotional day for fans of the
franchise, the manga Uma Musume Cinderella Gray has published
its final chapter this Thursday, December 25, within the combined
edition 4 and 5 of the Weekly Young Jump magazine. This closes
a five-and-a-half-year cycle of serialization that began in June 2020.
The work,
which chronicles Oguri Cap's rise from the local circuits to
become a national legend, concluded with its 210th chapter. The
story of this gray-haired "Cinderella," who went from being an
unknown to being feared as a "monster" on the dance floor, has
resonated deeply with audiences, managing to surpass the impressive figure
of 8 million copies in circulation.
The impact
of the series was amplified this year with its anime adaptation, the first part
of which aired from April to June 2025, followed by a second part that recently
concluded in December.
Farewell
in style
To
commemorate this milestone, the Weekly Young Jump has launched
a massive special project in its pages. Nine members of the anime's main cast
appear in a special gravure photo shoot, wearing costumes from the SPECIAL
DREAMERS event!! EXTRA STAGE and the Tracen Academy uniforms.
Exclusive
content includes:
- Central gravure: Starring Tomoyo
Takayanagi (voice of Oguri Cap) and Naomi Ozora (voice
of Tamamo Cross).
- Exclusive Disclosure: The Tamamo Cross racing
suit was shown for the first time.
- Commemorative Art: An alternate version of
the cover of Volume 1 illustrated by Taiyo Kuzumi and a
poster using the color page of the final chapter.
Oguri Cap's
journey has reached the finish line, leaving an indelible mark on the
Uma Musume franchise.
