I feel like that theory took a hit by revealing Okarun has actual parents. Although they could be a memory from when he was a human or something. But Turbo Granny outright said last chapter he was human until this transformation, and I really doubt she or Seiko would be mistaken about that.
Yeah, the timeline pretty much walks us up to the moment he meets Momo and doesn't really have any "he's a Yokai" moments.

Unless he actually jumped off that building naked...

A sad backstory is cool and all, but I wish there were more hints about it and some hesitation from him with getting along with Momo because of said backstory. We all know he was lonely and bullied, but NOT to the extent of kids jumping him constantly, sheesh!

A bit late 252 chapters in IMO, but I understand if all the battles and crazy stuff took the focus.

That's simply not true. Of the top of my head, we know nothing about the origin of the two yokai carrying them away to safety last chapter. Some of them seem a lot more like mythological creatures than human spirits.
They are all mythological, and we've seen the sad backstories of some of the oldest ones, and even got an explanation of the toilet ghost that only briefly showed up before to save those girls after their powers were stolen.

Is that why he is a liar?
Yes, ironically. I mean it’s not exactly his fault considering the amount of trauma and complete lack of mental health understanding and assistance in Japan. Choosing to not react or lash out like he wanted to deep down is an extreme example, but it is still an example of sublimating his own feelings to fit into society. And the fact that after all this time, after all his adventures and getting close to people NOBODY, not even Momo, knew or even asked about any of this. And I don’t think it’s their fault, Okarun was just that good at hiding his circumstances.

I'm still of the mind that this club has someone else's NTR trauma, but this backstory would certainly explain why Okarun could be in a coma in a warehouse somewhere for like a week and nobody came looking for him.
I doubt it. There are countless legends of abandoned children and those rejected by society who eventually become oni and their trauma is from parents hating them and people rejecting them because they were ugly or monstrous in some way. Whether the oni latched on early, or came in later in his school life Okarun would be fertile ground for something like that.

We don't know about all of them like you claimed.

- mangaka : now i will give the back-story of the main character oka-runt to the readers .

- smart readers :
... at chapter 252 ? er , a little late , right ? how about giving his back-story at chapter 1 ?
and basically , the mangaka just re-draws the back-story of umbrella boy :
umbrella boy and oka-runt have trashy parents , and umbrella boy and oka-runt were bullied by their peers ,
and their hidden desire is destroying everything , and their weapons are long thingies : umbrella and oni rod .

i HATES main brat oka-runt because he is weak , ugly , and puny . so i didnt shed a single tear , i only laughed when i was reading this "sad" back-story , lol .

page 1 :

- the mother of the year :
now i HATES your daddy , because he is very poor , and his c0ck is very small and soft .
my new husband is VERY RICH , and he has 2 VERY CUTE SH0TA SONS , lol .

- me : " like father , like son " . the father gets netorare-d , and the son oka-runt also gets netorare-d , lol .

page 8 :

if oka-runt had found discarded henta! magazines instead of alien magazines , i guess the story would have been more interesting , lol .

some lines of a boy / a girl , from a certain special " doujinshi " :
wah , in this magazine , his xxxx went all the way up her xxxxx , ... before i knew it , i has gotten hooked to xxxxxx from the magazines ... ,
i mimicked what i saw in the magazines , ... i only did this because i was curious ...

page 14 :

- father : please , im begging you , 2 old men , please have a " 3-some " with me , i love you .

page 16 :

- oka-runt : my (soul) "ball" is breaking . my "best-friends-forever" are punching my "ball" . my shirikodama .

and the father is actually a good person : he is still paying the fees so his son can attend a high-school .

page 24 :

- oka-runt :
... like a boss , ... get rejected , ... swallow sadness ... , cry deeply ,
... oh f*** me , i cant f***ing do it , sh!t , pu$$y out , i can not jump down from this roof-top , i does not have the courage / the "balls" , btw , in the future , turbo baba will steal my "balls" .

I didn't say we know all about all of them, I said we know the backstories of some of the oldest, most inhuman ones, and that's enough to know that they are all born from human tragedies.
You said "All the yokai we've run into so far, were born of some human trauma.", it's just so silly to pretend you didn't when it's literally there.
