Seven Seas Licenses Trapezium Light Novel (Airship Imprint)

(March 25, 2026) — Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of the light novel Trapezium by Kazumi Takayama and tae. Grab your light sticks, practice your chants, and get ready for the realest look into Japan's idol culture in this gripping, coming-of-age story—written by an actual idol!

Azuma Yuu is a high schooler with big dreams of becoming an idol—by any means necessary! Chasing fame is no easy task, but she's not afraid to put in the work and starts befriending girls from every corner of the prefecture to create her ideal group. It's not long before people start taking notice of the newfound idols, and suddenly, opportunities seem to just fall into their laps. 

While her friends celebrate their good fortune, the truth is Yuu is working hard behind the scenes to get them on every stage possible. Researching locations, timing each appearance just right, and hustling hard to keep her dream alive—while also performing and practicing! As the stages grow bigger and the pressure mounts, Yuu has to face the harsh reality that carrying the group's success on her own has a toll. One misstep could cost her everything if she can't figure out the secret to success. But can she face the darker realities of idol life, or will she fall just short of fame?
