> learns that his childhood friend, Honeko Akabane, is being targeted by
> assassins! Both of them are in Class 3-4 at Sosoji High School, and Ibuki is
> ordered to protect Akabane for one year. His goal is to ensure that she
> graduates safely, but he must do so without her realizing it. And so begins
> his secret life as a bodyguard at school! However, there seems to be more
> secrets within "Class 3-4"…?! This is the start of a new and exciting action
> school comedy!!

Nigatsu debuted the manga in Weekly Shōnen Magazine in September 2022. Kodansha

anime
Based on the novel by former Nogizaka46 member Kazumi Takayama, trapezium asks
its audience to follow one girl who will use anything, and anyone, to achieve
