50 free Aggretsuko trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Aggretsuko looks like a cute mascot cartoon and plays like one of the most honest workplace comedies on television. Its heroine is a polite, overworked twenty-something who smiles through every indignity her bosses hand her, then lets it all out at the karaoke microphone once the working day is done. This quiz covers the whole run: Retsuko and the co-workers who help or hinder her, the animals they are drawn as, the boyfriends from dreamy Resasuke onwards, the idol-group detour, the boardroom plot and the final-season campaign. There are also questions on the people who made the series and the voices behind its characters. It is written for fans who have watched every season, but the early questions are gentle enough for anyone who has only met Retsuko in passing. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so you will pick up a few things even when you miss.
