The Enduring Appeal of Uma Musume Cinderella Gray
Uma Musume Cinderella Gray is a highly successful spin-off comic from the popular cross-media content Uma Musume Pretty Derby. It tells the Cinderella story of Oguri Cap, a character who originated from the Kasamatsu Training Academy. The manga, serialized in Weekly Young Jump (Shueisha) since 2020, has already surpassed 8 million copies in circulation. Its anime adaptation premiered in April 2025 across 28 TBS network stations nationwide, with a second cour following in October of the same year. As the original manga approaches its climax, interest in the series continues to soar, making this new merchandise release particularly timely for fans.
Meet Your New Companions: The “Kuikui” Plushies
The “Kuikui” plushies are distinguished by their special design, where “Kuikui” refers to the way their necks can be gently bent, allowing the characters to appear as if they are looking up at you. This thoughtful feature creates an engaging visual connection, making them perfect companions for your desk, shelf, or even for taking along on outings for charming photo opportunities. Imagine Oguri Cap or Tamamo Cross softly gazing at you, ready to offer a moment of comfort and cuteness throughout your day. The soft polyester material further enhances their huggable appeal.
