Trapezium anime film is based on a novel with the same name, by Kazumi Takayama, who is a former 1st generation member of the Nogizaka46 idol group. Takayama wrote Trapezium while she was still an active Idol, crafting a coming-of-age story about a girl aiming to become an idol.
Based on her experiences and inner conflicts, the novel gained attention for its fresh and realistic style. Released in 2018, the book became a major hit, selling over 300,000 copies. Eventually, plans for an animated film adaptation were launched. Takayama contributed to the script and music, working with CloverWorks to reimagine Trapezium for the screen.
