Buxom Beauty Standard Narrator

Basic Trope: Big-breasted women are portrayed as very attractive.

Straight: Alice has big breasts, and all the straight men and lesbian women are very impressed by them. Exaggerated: Characters find all big-breasted women attractive, and all small-breasted women unattractive. World of Buxom Alice has impossibly gigantic breasts, and she is World's Most Beautiful Woman who can turn everyone on, including straight women and gay men too. Downplayed: Characters speak positively of big breasts among other attractive attributes. Justified: The characters live in a culture, real or fictional, that strongly values breast size as a beauty standard for women. This is the POV character's stance on things. Said society is extremely homophobic and paedophobic; even guys dating fully-grown women who look like ones is still unacceptable, so having big breasts is one of the ways to prove they are really adult women in an approved relationship. Inverted: Characters believe small breasts are attractive and big breasts are unattractive. A-Cup Angst D-Cup Distress Petite Pride Subverted: Alice has big breasts and many people are attracted to her, but it's actually just because she is nice. Double Subverted: Her admirers lied to avoid seeming shallow. Parodied: Whenever a woman with large breasts appears, all straight men and lesbian women immediately forget what they're doing and stare at her. There is a fairly ugly woman in the setting. Nothing about her is attractive, from her body to her personality to her abilities. She has bigger breasts than most women, so she's still considered one of the hottest in the world. Zig Zagged: Some characters find large breasts attractive, others do not. Averted: No one expresses an opinion on the attractiveness of breast sizes. All characters are prudish, so they never talk about the attractiveness of certain body parts. Enforced: A plastic surgery company sponsors the show, asking them to endorse large breasts as a beauty standard to increase demand for boob jobs. Fanservice Lampshaded: "Seems all a girl needs is big enough breasts for all the guys to love her." Invoked: Alice is recruited as a Heroic Seductress because of her big breasts. Exploited: Alice shows her breasts to get what she wants. Defied: Alice gets breast reduction surgery to avoid getting attention for her breasts. Discussed: Carol: Why are you guys so interested in Alice anyway? Bob: Have you seen her breasts? Conversed: "Oh, of course our heroine is a big-boobed blonde to keep straight guys watching..." Implied: Alice has big breasts and is constantly being asked out, but no one actually outright says they like her breasts. Deconstructed: Alice's breasts mean she gets excessive attention about them, sometimes reaching the levels of harassment. Claire, who has smaller breasts than Alice, is neglected and left out, especially if this treatment comes from her husband who cheats on her with chestier women, leaving her in a bad mood and bad condition. Reconstructed: Which is fine with Alice, she has Big-Breast Pride and lives on people's enjoyment of them. She is also confident enough to strongly rebuff harassment. Claire may receive less attention than Alice; however, she is still considered acceptable when her breasts can help her to appear more modest. While it's still a flawed system, it's considered a better and fairer distribution than the previous one. While Claire will never be seen as attractive by her society's feminine standards, she actually meets the criteria for androgynous and masculine beauty rather well thanks to her small chest. If she leans into either one (either remaining androgynous or beefing up/dressing acting masculine), she could easily be accepted. Although this may reinforce the This example contains a FlameBait entry. It should be moved to the FlameBait tab.horrible ideology of discrediting women who look and/or act too "feminine", it's considered a better and fairer distribution than the previous one. Played For Drama: Claire has mental breakdown from A-Cup Angst because everyone is attracted to girls with large breasts. Plotted A Good Waste: The writer has Madonna-Whore Complex and uses this trope to This example contains a FlameBait entry. It should be moved to the FlameBait tab.degrade Big-breasted women as a "whore".

MEDIA EXAMPLES

7 Seeds: Semimaru overall says he really likes women like Botan, particularly mentioning that he likes her large breasts, too. Though he ends up falling for Natsu, whom he has previously bullied and made fun of, though more because of her bony butt than her breasts, which are not particularly large or small. Chimaki calls Ran "well-proportioned", though it's unclear if he's referring to her breast size specifically or her overall form, which appeals to him in the artistic sense. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Rentarou's face can be fully enveloped in Hahari's I-cups. They're the equivalent of Karane taking about 60* doses of Vitamin π. Airmaster Nakanotani Mina. Unfortunately, it's much to her dismay as it's the main reason why she gets hit on so much. Ironically despite being the most attractive female in the series Mina and her breasts are mainly played for satire and the source of many awkward situations. Kaoruko from Akahori Gedou Hour Lovege, her large breasts are the reason she's much more popular than her flat-chested partner Aimi. Chapter three of the manga series Asklepios, has the protagonists trying to convince a village girl to let them remove a tumor on her ovaries that resulted in a huge increase in bust size, but at the same time is killing her. She initially refused because she thought her love interest liked big breasts but eventually accepts the surgery when said love interest says he cares about her and not her bust. After the surgery is over, he even says she looks better flat-chested. Albegas: Both Daisaku and the Vice Principal prefer busty girls. When Daisaku looks at a porn magazine, he laments that Hotaru's breasts aren't as big as the pornstar's. The anime also features breasts getting groped a lot as Fanservice. Haruka Gracia in Basquash!. She's from the moon, where it's fabled that due to the low gravity women all have gargantuan, perfectly spherical breasts, so here her "lunar bust" became the focal point of attraction from most men and jealousy from most women. At one point in episode 9, Sela's determination to win the match against the Idol team Eclipse (and an early access to Moon Eyes, the city on the moon) stems from her desire to develop a lunar bust herself (complete with an Imagine Spot of Sela flaunting her new humongous breasts in a super skimpy bikini). Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight!: Played straight with protagonist Haebaru Misora and recurrer Sarashina Utako, both of whom are gravure models whose large cup sizes are part of their professional appeal: Utako goes up from a J- to a K-cup in chapter 50, while Misora is officially a K-cup for marketing reasons (the two are the 'K'-cups in the current two generations of the idol troupe Japan KGB), but in fact has gone all the way up to M by chapter 64. Discussed in Extra Chapter 2 when some middle school students in the Greek Chorus debate the relative merits of Utako versus Misora. The female class rep comes to Misora's defense: Misora being over 25 centimeters taller and having darker skin means that Utako looks bustier by comparison, but then notes that Misora's muscular physique from her karate practice means she scratches different itches compared to the much girlier Utako. In Brave10, most of the men (especially Niko and Jinpachi) are enamored with Gorgeous Gaijin Ana and her massive breasts, with the former being downright obsessed with her bust. Averted by Niko's colleague and Heterosexual Life-Partners Ichimaru, who says that he prefers petite girls (prompting Niko to call him a lolicon). In Cage of Eden, most of the male characters are attracted to the large breasts of Oomori (a Sexy Stewardess) or, in alternative, the schoolgirls Rion and Mami. Oomori is also really proud of this and she considers it an advantage in the "fight" to win the affection of Akira, the main male protagonist. There's a conversation in Castle Town Dandelion that involves this trope. Hikari, who has some observable breasts as a 10-year-old girl and is predicted to be the biggest when she fully develops, brags about this fact. Kanade, who is currently the largest, argued it's the shape that matters, while Shuu, the local Hormone-Addled Teenager, claimed it's the sensation that's the most important. In A Centaur's Life, Hime's breasts get lots of comments. In the very first chapter, a boy praised them, and only them, in a love letter, showing they were the only reason he was interested in her. Over half the male cast in Desert Punk is enamored with Junko's huge breasts and she is more than willing to take advantage of that. Daimos: Raiza is stated by many characters to be beautiful, and the anime loves to remind us she's busty by panning the camera on her boobs. In one episode, Raiza is showering and Balbas accidentally walks in and sees her Sexy Silhouette. He's embaressed and apologizes, but Raiza assures him it's fine. In Devil Hunter Yohko, Yohko Mano lampshades the fact that, despite being the most buxom character in the show, every romance she has ends in disaster. In fact, it is her lack of romantic success that ensures her role as The Hero since the initial activation of being a devil hunter is Virgin Power. Afterwards, a hunter can have all the sex they want, as demonstrated by Yohko's grandmother. In Diamond Cut Diamond Yuyami Shigyou (Yami-nee) grows quite a big pair that gets emphasized and commented on by multiple characters. In The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., the students at PK Academy note that while Aiura isn't as attractive as the more petite Teruhashi (who is fawned over for her beauty to the point of absurdity), her large rack kind of makes up for it. Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro: A rather hilarious scene has Nagatoro's friends commenting that there's no way Senpai can compete with the Art Club's President (who painted a self-portrait nude, showing off her large chest and rear). Gamo-chan teasingly states that while there's a "market for slender girls", when it comes to winning a popularity contest, size is power. At which point, she, Yoshi, and Sakura are intentionally bouncing their large chests to help illustrate the point, much to poor Nagatoro's irritation. Of all the Dragon Ball female characters, Bulma has the biggest bust (with the exception of the Dragon Ball Z filler character Maron) and Roshi naturally like this. The homunculus Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist has pretty impressive breasts, though it only gets brought up once. Mustang: I can see how she tricked you. You've always been a sucker for big boobs. Havoc: I'm sorry sir. [cue Cherubic Choir] I just love them so much! Alex from Gangsta. certainly gets a lot of attention due to her sizable assets. Probably helps that she doesn't wear a bra. Girls Bravo: It's two of the main reasons Fukuyama, Kosame, and countless middle-aged perverts all have the hots for Kirie - because she's already an F-Cup at only 16 years old. Which is also why Fukuyama can't keep his hands off them, no matter how many times she flattens him for groping her. Tomo even refers to Kirie as a "boob monster," while Fukuyama says he prefers to call her "booberiffic". In Heaven's Lost Property, the perverted male lead Tomoki is a devout adherent to this trope. This causes considerable A-Cup Angst in Nymph, the Token Mini-Moe member of his harem. Hetalia: Axis Powers: Ukraine has huge breasts, representing the country's large and fertile farmlands, or in other words, "huge tracts of land." Played with, since Russia compares Ukraine and Belarus and says about Ukraine "She's nice, but not much to look at". About Belarus, who in comparison has smaller breasts, he says: "She's pretty, not nice." Hungary also has a big buxom, and is considered more beautiful for it — at one point, Taiwan can't concentrate at a meeting of the female nations because she keeps getting distracted by the Western Girls' cleavage. Hajime of I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying has an obvious breast fetish, which Kaoru (with her relatively big boobs) is fully able to satisfy. Yuki from Iketeru Futari gets tons of men fawning over her because of her large breasts, and even gets her a modeling gig. Ironically they don't help at all with her romantic pursuits. Her childhood friend, Saji, whom she's been in love with for years, only has eyes for the more slender Koizumi. She eventually gets over him when she gets a new love interest and boyfriend named Kaede, who happens to have a phobia of breasts. He gets over it to some degree but she notes that he loves her in spite of her breasts. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable: Rohan's editors believed that he needed more large-breasted female characters for his manga to be successful. His manga, Pink Dark Boy, is an action story full of young men and was able to become a massive hit even without the addition of more female characters. Building upon this, he is particularly drawn to Koichi as the lad exhibits several laudable traits associated with the genre. Jungle de Ikou! Mii has extremely huge breasts, the explanation being that since she's the spirit of fertility and reproduction her huge breasts represent Earth's life-giving energy. The rival cake shop in episode nine of Kamen no Maid Guy makes use of this trope. They get away with selling terrible food to their predominantly male customers because they're too busy staring at the waitress' large breasts to notice how bad it is. Also this trope is very much in effect for Naeka, much to her annoyance and her friends' financial gain. Komi Can't Communicate: Agari Himiko, despite her own insecurities, is considered very attractive, and her most notable physical trait is naturally her huge rack (the biggest among all the female cast). During the sports festival, she gets "a lot of art points" in the mixed obstacle race thanks to them. Macross Frontier: Ranka goes to the Miss Macross competition and suffers A-Cup Angst in the face of the competition, all of whom follow this trope to a T. There is also an infamous line said by Sheryl Nome while she's groping her own breasts. Sheryl Nome: My chest isn't the same as yours: Mine brings people hopes and dreams. Maken-ki!: Lampshaded in chapter 18, when Takeru openly admitted to Yan-Min that he prefers women with large breasts. Which is why he has the hots for his childhood friend, Haruko, who's an H-Cup. Ms. Aki's breasts are the largest of the cast, which make her popular with all the boys and are a source of envy for all the other girls. In chapter 4, Haruko went so far as to pad her bikini just to keep Takeru's attention on her, instead of Aki! Manyu Hikencho: The size of a woman's chest not only determines a woman's attractiveness but her wealth and worth in society as well. Small breasted women are outcasts and well-endowed women are showered with wealth and power. Lucoa's boobs in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid have almost universal appeal among the opposite sex, from Shouta's preteen classmates all the way up to geriatrics at a retirement home. Centorea in Monster Musume has the largest bust of the main cast. With the mere sight of her in a bikini top causing Miia to accuse her of trying to seduce Kimihito. Mikoshiba from Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun has a fetish for large breasts as Wakamatsu notes that all his dating sims have stacked heroines and his bishoujo merchandise features busty women. This stands in contrast to the other male main characters, who don't care or dislike large breasts (Wakamatsu himself questions it, calling them "just lumps of fat," Hori is very strongly a leg man, and Nozaki has never shown any inclination towards them). Tsunade from Naruto. She is not only regarded as the most powerful kunoichi, but the most beautiful as well. It is a common gag to have characters run into her huge bust. Yo-Han from Need a Girl! makes extensive speeches about how Bigger = Hotter. He is very much a breast man. Most of the boys in Nurse Hitomi's Monster Infirmary (especially Hanyuu) seem to think this, though Mr. Tatara notably prefers flat chests. By the end of Chapter 7, Hanyuu has learned an important lesson: Hanyuu: There are no worthless breasts. Big breasts have an overwhelming presence...but small breasts are cute and stylish. One Piece. In the post time-skip, the first thing Brook says to Nami is how much better she looks having increased in bust size. In Onegai My Melody, schoolgirl Iijima has very large breasts indeed and lusted after by the boys in class for having such "bodacious boobs." Photon: The primary reason Photon took a liking to Keyne Aqua, even though she tried to zap him out of existence, is that her bare breasts remind Photon of his older sister, who'd left him behind after being betrothed to a townsman. Photon's other sister, Aun is envious of Keyne's breasts, and Keyne loses no chance to needle Aun over their size disparity. However, both women are put to shame when Princess Lashara Moon joins them in the inn's hot spring. Lashara's breasts leave both Keyne and Aun gawking in awe. In Remote, Ayaki's breasts are the object of much desire on the part of her boyfriend. Oddly, in certain panels, they seem to change in size. Rosario + Vampire. Kurumu Kurono (pictured) repeatedly invokes this trope as her major selling point in her quest for coming up on top of Tsukune's Unwanted Harem. As a Succubus, Distracted by the Sexy is her specialty. Sailor Jupiter (a.k.a Makoto/Lita) from Sailor Moon has breasts that range from visibly larger to twice the size or more (depending on the scene) of her cohorts. At one point in the anime, she tries to use her breast size (memetically dubbed as "talent") as a qualification for the lead role in a play. Unfortunately, she can't get a boyfriend to save her life, because she stands taller than most of the boys at about 5'6" and is physically strong and active and has a history of getting into fights. In Saki, Kyotaro hold this view. He often ignores Yuuki's obvious attempts at seduction and dismisses the idea that he could find any sex appeal in her every time she tries to tease him. On the other hand, he has quite a few Imagine Spot about Nodoka and her assets. In Samurai Deeper Kyo, the titular jerkass protagonist initially insults the main heroine Yuuya for her lack of breasts note and when going to town asks for buxom prostitutes and meat for lunch. Kyoshiro also loves big-breasted women, though he's more of a Lovable Sex Maniac (at one point, when having to choose between two hookers, he opts for the one with bigger breasts specifically because she's buxom). Finally, when Yuuya is thinking about how beautiful Mahiro is, the very next thing she thinks of next are her huge melons. She then goes on a rant about how a big bust isn't all in beauty. Asami from Say "I Love You" has a complex about her chest, having been the recipient of unwanted attention in the form of teasing during middle school due to her bubble buddies. Yamato, a friend of hers, stood up for her during middle school, leading for her to idolize him and wish for a prince of her own. He comes in the form of Kenji, Yamato's best friend, who is at first misunderstood and even hated by Asami for his focus on her boobs, but he eventually confesses that he likes her for who she is, and the two begin dating. Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie: Seen when the monitor cyborg is streaming a live feed of Guile and Chun Li, to Bison's lair. The cyborg gets a clear shot of Guile's face, but when it shifts focus to Chun Li, it zooms in on her breasts instead, causing Bison to grin. A chapter of To Love Ru has the girls discuss this after listening to Saruyama give Rito a speech about big breasts. Risa and Mio also tease Yui for having a great figure, telling her that she should appeal to boys using her chest. In UQ Holder!, Touta Konoe, under the effects of a truth potion, begins to wax on all the reasons he likes Karin Yuuki, eventually ending up on the point that he appreciates how large her chest is. She promptly whacks him. Other members of the organization have also commented on her rack with appreciation. Usagi-chan de Cue!!: Of all the girls in Haru's class, Miku has the second-most developed breasts, a fact she knows well. Then Mimika joins Haru at school, pressing her G-cup boobs into Haru at every opportunity. The girls ship Haru x Mimika, the boys drool at the window, and Miku is boiling jealous. Inverted and Played for Laughs in Ushio and Tora: when Ayumi gives an amnesiac Asako a shirt she used, the latter, blushing, points out that it's rather loose on her chest. Cue to Katayama and Kagami promptly barging in and claiming that big boobs mean nothing if the girl has no brains. Ayumi doesn't appreciate that opinion. The titular protagonist of Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! is very short but also pretty stacked (she even wears a Fun T-Shirt with the words "Sugoi Dekai"* as if emphasizing this). Another character once calls her breasts "weapons". Vermeil in Gold: Every named female in the anime is D-Cup or larger,note and even unnamed background characters come with sizable chests. Biggest of all is Vermeil herself, with each boob the size of her head, and she is considered the sexiest woman at the school by every male student.
