But she\u2019s well aware of her own limitations, so she knows she needs a gimmick to catapult herself to stardom. She decides she needs to meet and befriend three other beautiful, talented girls, one from each of the high schools in her hometown, so their group represents the four cardinal directions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Yu sets off on her quest, first traveling through an affluent academy in the south, where she zeroes in on gorgeous Ranko Katori and challenges her to a tennis match to win her friendship. Then she hits up a vocational school in the west, specifically looking for Kurumi Taiga, the sole female member of the robotics team, who enjoyed a brief stint of viral fame for being a girl in STEM at a prestigious competition. Kurumi is initially uninterested in meeting her, so Yu feigns interest in robotics, then finds a way to help Kurumi meet her goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When Yu unintentionally reunites with her old classmate Mika Kamei, Yu is initially reserved \u2014 until she learns that Mika is not only beautiful and regularly does charity work (a good look for idols, who must maintain pristine reputations), but she happens to go to school in the north, the cardinal direction Yu is missing. She\u2019s the final piece Yu needs for her master plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/trapezium-has-one-of-the-most-cunning-and-manipulative-protagonists-in-anime-1.jpg\" alt=\"Four girls looking at the rising sun: a girl with long dark hair, a girl with a short bob, a short girl in an oversized pink sweater, and a tall girl with long curly hair. In Trapezium.\" title=\"Four girls looking at the rising sun: a girl with long dark hair, a girl with a short bob, a short girl in an oversized pink sweater, and a tall girl with long curly hair. In Trapezium.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Yu never lets the other girls know about her grand ambitions, even as she organizes increasingly specific ways to get them into the spotlight. When they\u2019re split up at an event where they volunteer to help kids in wheelchairs up a scenic mountain hiking path, Yu throws a small fit. In her mind, the excursion isn\u2019t worth it if they aren\u2019t seen together for a potential social media picture. But Yu tells the others her bad mood is because she wanted to spend time with them, which they buy wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That isn\u2019t the first indication of the extent of Yu\u2019s manipulation, but it\u2019s certainly the one that really showcases just how she\u2019ll warp her friends\u2019 affections to further her goals. She constantly pushes her friends to go along with her plans, whether or not they actually want to. She insists each new scheme is just for the sake of doing something fun together, as if she hasn\u2019t been strategically planning her ascent to stardom for years. She\u2019s unapologetically ruthless, in a way that I did not expect from a movie billed as \u201cfour teenage girls with big dreams.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I expected something more like<em> Bocchi the Rock!<\/em>, where a similar set of girls with musical ambitions forge wholesome bonds as they collectively figure out how to launch their career. But instead, <em>Trapezium<\/em> unfolds like a tense psychological thriller, focused tightly on Yu, the scope of her ambition, and the lengths she\u2019ll go to in order to make her dreams a reality. She treats her supposed friends like necessary tools in her greater scheme, instead of actual humans. She\u2019s absolutely ruthless as she concocts her plans in her downtime, though to her friends she comes off as someone who\u2019s just very passionate (it helps that she fudges the truth in order to get her friends to go along with her plans). She\u2019s also a bit of a sore loser, pouting when she receives less attention than the other group members, and snapping at her friends once everything begins to spiral.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/trapezium-has-one-of-the-most-cunning-and-manipulative-protagonists-in-anime-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But at the same time, she\u2019s never outright mean. And she wants to be an idol so badly that it\u2019s hard not to root for her a little bit. She\u2019s a fascinating character, deeply flawed and almost borderline cruel, but her sheer determination is admirable. And even though she starts out seeing the other girls as puzzle pieces, it\u2019s evident that she <em>does<\/em> begin to actually care for them \u2014 even if she doesn\u2019t realize it herself. Throughout the movie, I vacillated on finding her admirable, scary, and even a bit pitiable. What I did solidly know, though, was that she hooked me in, and I couldn\u2019t look away from her story as it unfolded on screen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">A lot about <em>Trapezium<\/em>\u2019s story could stand to dig deeper, especially when it comes to really diving into the ramifications of idol life, fame, and the group\u2019s eventual reconciliation. But what the movie does wonderfully is give a tight, tense look at one girl, the sheer scope of her ambition, and what happens when a perfect plan begins to crack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Crunchyroll will premiere <\/em>Trapezium<em> in American theaters for a one-day-only special showing on Sept. 18.
