The Mediocre Trainer Doesn't Want to Start Over Again

Kitano Ryuichi is a horse-loving Uma Musume fan, but that doesn't mean transmigrating into the world of Uma Musume makes him a good trainer. Everyone else who transmigrates comes with a golden finger: they're either exceptionally talented or have Uma Musume who can casually run in GI races and make their debuts in GII. But no matter how you look at it, he's just an ordinary person, with no such talent. The only thing he's good at is discovering that he can "restart." Whenever he thinks he's done something irredeemable and falls into utter despair, he chooses to start over. That way, no matter what has happened in this world, he can try again.

So he begins restarting countless times, wanting only to prove he can succeed. He's been the trainer of a series of outstanding Uma Musume, including Symboli Rudolf, T.M. Opera O, Mihono Bourbon, and Rice Shower, but without exception, none of their life paths have changed or improved. He has no impact as a trainer at all, and has even been called an "utterly mediocre talent who might as well not be there" more than once. After restarting again and again, Kitano finally comes to terms with himself in this run and decides to be a thoroughly unremarkable, mediocre trainer. But why... have the Uma Musume from his previous runs all started looking for him? And why do they say he's the one they could never forget? He's just a useless trainer who holds them back!
