Manga Quiz
12.11.2012 15:50
Here's a series of fun manga artstyle quizzes. For each picture, give yourself 2 points if you can remember the mangaka's name. Give yourself only 1 point if you can't recall the name but can nonetheless name one other manga that he/she drew. My selections are notably over-represented by seinen mangaka so my apologies to those who are more familiar with other demographics' mangaka.
Don't get too discouraged if you score low. I only tested a handful of people, but here's a rough breakdown of the scores per test (out of maximum 20 points):
18~20: Goodly
12~16: Excellent
10~12: Great
8~10: Good
6~8: Average
2~4: Read more seinen manga.
0~2: Read more manga.
