Odex to Open trapezium Anime Film in Vietnam on December 6

Vietnamese cinema chain Lotte Cinema began streaming a Vietnamese-subtitled trailer for the anime film of Kazumi Takayama's trapezium novel on Thursday. The trailer reveals that Odex will open the film in Vietnam on December 6.

The novel depicts the 10 years of Yū Higashi, a high school girl who aims to be an idol. To achieve her dream, she sets for rules for herself: she will not be active on social media, she will not have a boyfriend, she will not stand out in school, and she will make friends with beautiful girls from the north, south, east, and west.

The film opened in Japan on May 10.

Asaki Yuikawa plays the protagonist Yū Higashi in the film. Hina Yomiya voices the character of Kurumi Taiga the "Western Star." Reina Ueda voices the "Southern Star" Ranko Katori. Haruka Aikawa voices Mika Kamei, the "Northern Star" and one of Yū Higashi's old schoolmates from grade school. The film also cast idol group JO1 member Shōya Kimata as Shinji Kudō and Teruyoshi Uchimura of the comedy duo Utchan Nanchan as Shūichi Itami.

Masahiro Shinohara (episode director for Blend S, Is the order a rabbit?) directed the film at CloverWorks, and Koji Masunari (storyboard for Oshi no Ko, TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You) supervised the film. Yuuko Kakihara (The Apothecary Diaries, Buddy Daddies) wrote the script, Rio (Sorcerous Stabber Orphen -Chaos in Urbanrama-) designed the characters, and Masaru Yokoyama (Farewell, My Dear Cramer: The Movie, Fruits Basket -prelude-, Horimiya) composed the music. Aniplex distributed the film.
