While yeah, IRL the taste of homegrown crops is usually placebo.*Literally into the ground.
Killer plant is an excellent humbler.
So how difficult of a journey here did she have?
She went from the usual, "How dare you address her like that!?" to apologising for using the bath out of order. That's a bit extreme.
Yeah, saying thanks before eating isn't exactly a unique custom, but always portrayed just as uniquely Japanese as curry.
The effort of growing and harvest vegetables making it taste better is coping your brain does for you. It's a psychological effect that also makes you defend a product after buying it.
Wait until Butler Rentt turns into a dryad, since that is the common trope.And of course in the castle they will be surprised and frightened by Rentt and the magic stone, and will "force" the maid to serve as a contact/join the harem.
I love these slow living mangas, but sometimes....

I do love the killer plant. Complete bro at this point, ahaha. Excellent anti-air, too!*Literally into the ground.

Both of these always somewhat annoy me. I get that Japan is pretty insular, but you'd think that writers might occasionally do at least the minimum level of research on other cultures, even if it's experienced through an entertainment medium. It's very mockable.Yeah, saying thanks before eating isn't exactly a unique custom, but always portrayed just as uniquely Japanese as curry.
And I like mocking.It's very mockable.
Here in Sweden we have three different cultural things we do before eating. Sort of. One is the Christian prayer before eating, saying grace. But much like religion, it's fallen out of favour.In regards to the thanks before the meal, as far as I know, quite a few of the major cultures developed something similar to that pre-meal ritual (especially in regards to religions).
They rarely do. It seems they mostly rely on their own experiences (which is probably why there's always plenty of stories about high school students, office workers, manga artists, writers and neets), the stories they read (copy-pasted themes and even entire plot arcs), and then their own intuition while randomly assuming things about the world.you'd think that writers might occasionally do at least the minimum level of research on other cultures
I agree to a degree... At the same time, however, I think that a well-developed knowledge of other cultures serves across many situations, not just in this context.They rarely do.

I think they're just being efficient. I mean, nobody knows when your manga gets axed, so all the effort put into research goes to waste, assuming the readers would even appreciate reading facts about gaijins in the first place.
