I really wished authors knew that there are other type of conflicts besides “miscommunication”. It’s not just this manga but all of them. This manga just happens to showcase the trope blatantly. It would be nice if there was an MC out there who recognize that there was a miscommunication and went: “Nah bitch. We’re going to talk about this as clear as day. You ain’t running today boy. I locked the fucking doors.” But usually it’s the ML who recognizes it and have to patiently explain to the overly emotional MC.
Now then... fun lesson for all you aspiring writers out there. Did you know that there are other conflicts besides miscommunication? Shocking, I know. They go as follows:
Person vs. person Person vs. self Person vs. Nature Person vs. the unknown Person vs. God/fate Person vs. Society Person vs. Technology
Miscommunication falls under person vs. person but there are more story conflicts that can come from the category. Just like person vs. technology. Yeah, a story where an MC has to fight an evil AI program counts as person vs. technology. But a story where it’s about an MC grappling with the advancement of technology compared to the old way of life is considered as person vs. technology too. Sometimes the obvious answer isn’t the best.
