Anime Girl With Toast
Now, like shonen manga, there's only one story that really works for shojo manga!! ... The heroine screams I'm late! I'm late! while running out of her house (because she's clumsy)!! There are no alternatives to this beginning!! Another important detail: she has to be chewing on a piece of toast!!
The Ordinary High-School Student protagonist is Late for School. They don't have time to sit and eat a full meal so they grab a piece of toast, put some butter or jelly on top, and run to school. While on their way to school, they accidentally bump into someone (often a senpai) and make a mess of their shirt. After much fumbling and apologizing, the protagonist arrives at class... Typically late.
Bread is a relatively new addition to the Japanese diet - while it was introduced by Portuguese traders in the 16th century, it didn't catch on quite as well as the other dishes subsequent European missions brought until a few centuries later. As a result, in the early 1900s it, or more specifically toasted bread, was seen as a symbol food (similar to City People Eat Sushi). Even after bread had became a mainstream staple of Japanese cuisine, people took note of how quick and easy toast was to make and decided to run with the implications. Thus the infamous running to school with toast in your mouth Establishing Character Moment intro was born.
Never Has A Girl Eating Toast Made Me So Happy.
The bread. Maybe the bread was knocked out of their mouth during a Crash-Into Hello, or maybe we're just meant to assume they ate the bread off-screen. This may also be a passing reference to the fact that consuming food while walking (or running) in Japan is considered a bit of a faux pas, as you're meant to find somewhere to stand or sit before eating something you're carrying... which obviously wouldn't be of much use when you've got somewhere to be and not much time to get there.
This trope first appeared in 1970s Shoujo series. It eventually became so popular that it began appearing in Shonen, Seinen, Josei, and Kodomo works as well. This joke quickly became a Dead Horse Trope as a result of its popularity. Many guides on how to write an anime-inspired story even specifically note not to use this trope due to it being so incredibly overdone. As a result, most modern examples either lampshade, parody, or invoke the trope.
Oh man, I'm late for school because I was browsing TV Tropes Wiki! Better grab my freshly-toasted bread and head out now!

As part of her master plan to get her rivals' votes to be the center of the exhibition concert, Miruki pretends to be the clumsy late-to-school character, with the classic toast included.
