The genius Uma Musume Nemesis had won all seven of her races since debuting, and claimed the GI crown in her final race by a huge margin. Then, in a horrifying accident, she lost her right arm, her right leg, and her family.
A cutting-edge medical company brought her back from the brink of death, providing her with the latest prosthetics and a comprehensive treatment plan. To pay off the enormous costs, Nemesis had no choice but to return to the track, becoming the first Uma Musume in history to race with a half-mechanical body.
...This sounds like it should be a rather grim, socially conscious story. But... how did it end up like this?
As she looked at Machikane Tannhauser sleeping soundly with her head on Nemesis's lap, Gold Ship peeking in through the window, and recalled yesterday's shoe-stakes contest with Tokai Teio and the day before, when Special Week had force-fed her homegrown carrots, Nemesis sank into deep philosophical contemplation.
