Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment will also release Trapezium in France on November 19 and in Germany on November 26. Stay tuned for more ticketing information in the future about the release.Based on the novel by Kazumi Takayama, Masahiro Shinohara (Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai episode director) directs Trapezium at studio CloverWorks, with a script by Yuko Kakihara (The Apothecary Diaries), character designs by Rio and music by Masaru Yokoyama (Horimiya). The movie was released in Japan in May 2024.Crunchyroll describes the movie:
Driven by an unwavering passion for becoming an idol, Yu Azuma, a young, ambitious first-year student at Joshu East High School, embarks on a journey to form an idol group. To make her dream a reality, she recruits one girl from each of her region’s four high schools (located to the north, east, south and west) and soon finds her fellow group members. Joining Yu is Ranko Katori, a sophisticated second-year student at Holy Teneritas Southern Girls’ Academy, with a distinctive curly hairstyle and admiration for Ochofujin (“Madame Butterfly”); Kurumi Taiga, a student at West Tech Vocational High School, who wears cute, oversized jackets with long sleeves and dreams of winning the championship at a robotics competition; and, Mika Kamei, a student who also hails from Joshu North High School, is known for being a kind-hearted girl and for her dedication to volunteering. With the help of Shinji Kudo, Yu’s “collaborator” and confidante, these four young girls set off on the road to stardom. But the journey hides unexpected trials, rigorous demands, setbacks and pressures, threatening to undo all that Yu has worked so hard for.
