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.

i got bored here’s a comprehensive list of my favourite facts about some of the irl authors from bsd :D
- chuuya and ango got into an argument and were going to duel, but the duel was cancelled due to chuuyas height
- chuuya, though 5”3 in bsd, was 4”9 irl 😢 heartbreaking </3 KDHSJS
- chuuya was an aggressive drunk and akutagawa got drunk after literally a sip of cider </3
- skk FULLY hated each other, they once had a conversation where chuuya asked dazai his favourite flower to which dazai, sobbing, responded peach flower
- when dazai and chuuya worked together for a literary magazine and it flopped dazai said it was because he worked with chuuya LFKAHMS
- dazai at one point though did have a lot of respect for chuuya however !
- yosano and mori were actually rlly close friends to the point that yosano asked mori to name her twins for her :”]
- akutagawa was a maths tutor. dots.
- dazai and akutagawa might’ve been bisexual !!!
- dazai wanted to win the akutagawa award (very prestigious prize for literature) so badly he wrote a letter that was 4”1 in length to haruo sati (dazais mentor and judge of the award) begging to win the award
- when he didn’t win it, he sent another letter to kawabata (if i’m not mistaken) later saying, quote, “i’ll stab him”
- Rimbaud considered his mother the 'mother of darkness' and when he and his sister passed, she lay herself to rest in between them (whilst she was still alive) to, quote, see how it felt HFDJKS
- ango got suspended from his school for punching a teacher in the face and for (allegedly) making a 2 foot tall snow statue of a dick outside his school when he was 15
- oda loved curry so much that when he died a quote came about saying “when a tiger dies, it leaves it’s skin behind; when oda died, he left curry rice behind”
- lupin is a real bar that still exists in ginza, japan, that dazai oda and ango did regularly visit :”]]]]
hope u enjoyed !! i got most of these facts from the bsd bibliophile, bungo to alchemist wiki and twitter :D god i lvoe literature MDHSJS
