It's one of those nights. I didn't get to bed until 6 because I was busy running through Sumomomo Momomo. It stretched the "normal guy in crazy circumstances" premise to its absolute limit. When you bias the world towards a certain aspect too much, it's only a matter of time before the protag has to embed himself in it. In this case, martial arts serves too much utility in the story for it to be ignored. It's a shame. At least his ultimate power makes great sense in context. Sooner or later, in "normal guy in crazy circumstances" stories, the normal guy has to become "extraordinary" to justify his existence. You can't pretend forever.
