How To Draw A Anime Boy Sitting And Eating Toast

"Now, like shonen manga, there's merely ane story that really works for shojo manga!! ... The heroine screams "I'thousand tardily! I'1000 late!" while running out of her house (because she's impuissant)!! There are no alternatives to this beginning!! Another important detail: she has to be chewing on a piece of toast!!"

The Ordinary High-School Educatee protagonist is Late for Schoolhouse. They don't have time to sit and eat a full meal so they catch a piece of toast, put some butter or jelly on superlative, and run to school. While on their way to school, they accidentally bump into someone (often a sempai) and make a mess of their shirt. After much fumbling and apologizing, the protagonist arrives at class... Typically late.

This sort of introduction scene is known equally the way to offset an anime.

Bread is a relatively new add-on to the Japanese diet. As a result, in the early 1900s it, or more than specifically toasted bread, was seen as a symbol food (like to City People Eat Sushi). Even later bread had became a mainstream staple of Japanese cuisine, people took notation of how quick and piece of cake toast was to make and decided to run with the implications. Thus the infamous "running to schoolhouse with toast in your oral cavity" Establishing Character Moment intro was born.

Rarely is the protagonist e'er seen actually eating the staff of life. Maybe the bread was knocked out of their mouth during a Crash-Into Hello, or maybe we're just meant to assume she ate the bread off-screen.

This trope first appeared in 1970s Shoujo series. Information technology eventually became and so popular that it began appearing in Shonen, Seinen, Josei, and Kodomo works as well. This joke rapidly became a Dead Horse Trope as a issue of its popularity. Many guides on how to write an anime-inspired story even specifically note not to use this trope due to information technology beingness and so incredibly overdone. As a result, most modernistic examples either lampshade, parody, or invoke the trope.

Compare Easing into the Hazard and Good Morning, Crono. Often combined with Projectile Toast for speedy grabbing.
