BSD-Bibliophile Japanese Literature & Bungou Stray Dogs Survey - 2023

The survey will be open from November 15 - December 15.

I am interested in knowing if BSD fans are reading the literary works by the Japanese authors who inspired the series. This is a short survey about Japanese authors and Bungou Stray Dogs. Everyone is welcome to take part in this survey, and feel free to share the link outside of Tumblr: https://forms.gle/8dMBvgge5stCdVR5A

Please fill out this survey even if you have not read any of the real authors’ works or have not watched/read Bungou Stray Dogs. Your responses are just as valuable and greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to send me a private message through Tumblr or write them in the comment section of the survey.

If you are interested in viewing the results from past surveys, here are the results from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. You can also compare the results from the past two years on the BSD-Bibliophile Online Library Survey Results page.
