40 free Skip Beat! trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Skip Beat! starts with a betrayal. Kyoko Mogami gives up school to keep house for her childhood friend Sho Fuwa while he chases pop stardom, then overhears what he really thinks of her. Her answer is to enter show business herself and outdo him, which puts her in the path of Ren Tsuruga, the country's most admired actor and a man with secrets of his own. This quiz covers the people who make the series such a long-lived favourite: the leading trio, the Love Me section at L.M.E., managers, rivals and scene-stealing side characters, along with the roles Kyoko plays on screen. A few questions step outside the story to the manga's publication, the 2008 anime and its voice cast, and the live-action adaptation. It is written for fans of the manga and the anime alike. Most questions can be answered from the early volumes or the TV series, with a handful of harder ones for readers who have followed the later arcs.
