i can't remember where i've heard it, but i've heard through the grapevine that japanese authors tend to have fundamentally flawed mindsets when it comes to writing.
from what i can understand, a lot of western writers tend to focus exactly on the characters and how they change, while japanese authors focus on how the world itself changes. rather than planning ahead, japanese authors decide upon a "state" of the world or the plot that they want it to be in by the end of the manga. that's also why endings tend to feel so unbelievably rushed and contrived; because they are and the mangaka is just trying to get to whatever state he wants the universe to be in by any means necessary.
in other words, yes it is a genetic thing.
