In a world very much like our own, great race horses of the past have a chance to be reborn as "horse girls"—girls with the ears and tails of horses as well as their speed and endurance. The best of these horse girls go to train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy, hopefully moving on to fame and fortune as both racers and idols.
Special Week, a high school horse girl from the countryside, has just transferred to Tracen, and she's determined to fulfill her promise to her mother to become the best horse girl in Japan. On her way to school, she takes a pit stop at the race track and instantly falls in love with Silence Suzuka's style, becoming determined to race on the same team as her.

Where it came from
Umamusume: Pretty Derby, produced by studio P.A. Works and released in 2018, was created as a central pillar of a multimedia project by Cygames. The series reimagines legendary Japanese racehorses as anthropomorphic schoolgirls, blending high-stakes horse racing drama with the tropes of the idol-sports genre. It was developed to capitalize on the success of the broader franchise, which sought to revitalize interest in horse racing through creative, character-driven storytelling.
The character designs and animation style were crafted to balance the athletic intensity of the race track with the polished aesthetic typical of modern Japanese animation. Upon its release, the series was received as a surprising success, praised for its unexpected emotional depth and technical animation quality during the racing sequences. It effectively bridged the gap between niche otaku culture and mainstream sports fandom, establishing a loyal audience that continues to support the franchise today.
