I was just wondering where the trope of the protagonist tripping and
accidentally groping someone first came from.

What's the origin of this trope?

What's the origin of the "accidental boob grab" trope?


I will try to answer. I still don't know what is the pioneer of that fan
service. But all I know that a shot like "Oops I grabbed your boobs
accidentally" is very common in _manga_ , especially _shounen manga_. Manga
creator created this 'fan service' because shounen manga usually read by
teenage young boy. Also, they believe, in teenage, young boy will love this
kinda jokes because of for example they are going through puberty.
