What should your next read be? Fantasy Edition!

This is a Maddie-made, just-for-fun quiz that I made! If you’re struggling to find a new fantasy manga to read, why not take my quiz and get a recommendation?

How to play:

There will be four recommendations that you can get! Please keep track of which answer you agree with the most, (for example, if you get 2 A’s, and 3 B’s, then B will be the letter that you agreed with the most). The letter that you agreed with the most will lead you to your recommendation!


Let’s start!

Question 1

If you could only choose one hobby, which would you pick?

A) I really don’t like being boxed into just one, but if I had to pick… I’d choose gardening.

B) Baking! So long as I’m given all of the necessary ingredients.

C) I don’t really have all that many hobbies… Does hanging out with my friends count as a hobby?

D) Reading! This isn’t even a difficult choice for me!


Question 2

How are you when it comes to making new friends?

A) I’m a pretty headstrong person, so it takes me a little while to find people who vibe with me well.

B) I think it’s pretty easy for me to make new friends! Sometimes though, I feel like maybe I should vet people a little better before letting them in my life.

C) I wish I was a little better at making friends in general, but I do have a close friend or two!

D) As long as we have a thing or two in common, I can get along with just about anyone.


Question 3

If you had to pick somewhere to go on vacation, you would go to…

A) I don’t really enjoying going out all that much… Can I choose to do a staycation instead?

B) I think I would like to do a day trip! Far enough that I can visit a city that I’ve never been to before, but close enough that I can sleep in my own bed at the end of the day.

C) A coastal town! I want to go to the beach and eat regional foods!

D) I’d like to visit the location my favourite book is set in!


Question 4

What family film do you most enjoy?

A) Halloweentown

B) Hocus Pocus

C) When Marnie was There

D) The Pagemaster


Question 5

If you had to pick a spirit animal for yourself, you would choose a…

A) Boar : cute but can get aggressive when necessary.

B) Deer : cute but cautious about potential dangers lurking nearby.

C) Dragon : If I’m going to choose a spirit animal, I’m choosing the coolest one I can think of.

D) Bunny : Curious about just about everything.


The Results..!

If you picked mostly A‘s… You got Yuureijou no Danna-sama!

In this supernatural shoujo manga, our main character finds herself confined and forcefully married to the master of a mansion. While her new situation could have a few upsides, all Mira can focus on is the fact that it’s haunted.


If you picked mostly B‘s… You got Gin no Mugibatake!

If you are in the mood to read a story about witches, you must give this series a chance! In a world where gold magicians are praised and silver magicians are feared, one girl makes a big sacrifice to save the silver witch who she feels indebted to.


If you picked mostly C‘s… You got Shiokaze to Ryuu no Sumika!

In a town where dragons are worshipped as gods by humans, where does that leave the dragon-people that live and study amongst said humans? If you’re looking for a fresh fantasy series with magical creatures, and complex relationships, this is a series that needs to be on your radar.


If you picked mostly D‘s… You got Alice in Kyoto Forest!

This is a incredibly cute retelling of Alice in Wonderland. The tribulations our new Alice goes through are a little bit different from the original story, but they aren’t any less charming. If you want to see a Japanese spin on the story, I highly recommend this series.
