Heh, I recall previously someone had said they'd looked into the "girl eating toast, late for school, bumps into a guy" thing and that there was no anime or manga that ever did that seriously. Maybe some series did parts of it, but nothing that did all of it. But you have tons of anime and manga that parody that whole sequence.

Makeine Heroine is both dishonest about shitty romcom tropes and it also loops into just being another shitty formulaic romcom

That's the rub isn't it, every show claiming to be a subversion of a trope inevitably just becomes the trope it's trying to subvert

Is a "flashback that cuts into advice from a mentor before cutting back into battle where the advice becomes useful" an actual trope or would it be a dead unicorn? I can only recall "make sure you rev up to 11K RPM" from Initial D, but I don't watch battle shonen so maybe there are more examples there

>>288589658
That actually IS an actual trope though. It's one of the oldest anime tropes even, Tezuka used it constantly.

>>288590766
that happens in 90% of shonen, especially battle shonen
