I still don't know what is the pioneer of that fan service. But all I know that a shot like &quot;Oops I grabbed your boobs accidentally&quot; is very common in <em>manga</em>, especially <em>shounen manga</em>. 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.</p>

Welcome to Anime.SE! We know that the trope is popular, but the question is about how and when it began, so if you don't know that, then please don't post an answer.

I think the earlier occurences of this were in Takahashi Rumiko's mangas, like Ranma 1/2 or Urusai Yatsura

It's difficult to trace the first who did it, but it got popularized by Love Hina (2000).

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.
