It's hard to make a story run only on fluffy and "unimportant" scene.I wonder what caused all the fluff to be infected with trauma dumping in the last decade.
This is true. I might not be the most resourceful, but even I notice this. For whatever reason, some manga authors think that trauma or le "sad event but with depth" is one default way to build a strong character backstory. I'm not saying they are dumb, cuz' well they made a story a the end or the day, but your point still stands.It's hard to make a story run only on fluffy and "unimportant" scene.
Not a lot of people know how to write like that, so it's easier to put some conflict in it.
And sadly, for many author, "Conflict" = "Horrible and traumatic stuff".
Also, poor guy.
Okaa-san has really big hands doesn't she.
