It's test time. Or rather, pop test time. Let's see how much you know about the ages of anime and manga characters.

Yes, sometimes the characters grow older during the course of a series. And yes, some of the ages might be good guesswork, but you should be able to find out how old these characters are. That is, if you don't already know.
