A-Cup Angst: Difference between revisions

* Mahoro from ''[[Mahoromatic]]'' longs for bigger breasts; it's an inferiority complex fueled by Suguru's fondness for porn and Ms. Shikijo's endless taunts. Since she's a [[Robot Girl|combat android]], her flat chest was probably just a practical design choice. In fact, to her chagrin, it's actually the deciding factor in one fight (she body-slams her opponent, shouting "Bitty booby attack!").

** The Triomatic girls poke fun at Mahoro's small chest at one point in the end theme of season one. The second-season end theme is all about chest size, but this time it's Minawa they're hassling, and they're a bit more subtle. ("If you worry about every little thing, you can't live your life"). Actually, Miyuki and Chizuko are in the same boat—Rin decidedly isn't, as she occasionally reminds them.

* Chika Ogiue in ''[[Genshiken]]''. In the [[Hot Springs Episode]], Sue (who speaks almost entirely in anime quotes) pulls the "Status symbol!" gag while pointing at her, quoting [[SHUFFLE!|Mayumi]].

* Aimi of Love Pheromone from ''[[Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge]]''. She's destroyed entire buildings over being called flat-chested.

** In one Doujin, when she goes to retrieve her ribbon [http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/7954/0000196k.jpg from the "Lost Object Office For The Things Fan Artists Forget to Draw"], she goes near to a "boing" sound effect of the type used to emphatise large-breasted characters. The "boing" effect ''runs away from her''.{{broken link}}

** Brought up again in the fourth manga volume. Not only she's seen interacting with the more boobielicious Hungary and [[Gag Boobs|Ukraine]], but one of the national dresses discussed is the infamous Crete dress code that [[Absolute Cleavage|let the Minoan women expose their milkmakers]]. Cue the [[Oh Crap]] from Liech.

** Japan's [[Gender Flip|Nyotalia self]] is often portrayed this way too, especially since the canon sketches of her don't exactly emphasize her assets the way sketches of many other Nyotalia nations do. In [http://i56.tinypic.com/f51ulx.jpg one Pixiv fanart]{{broken link}}, she's shown weeping about having no chest compared to the extremely well-endowed Greece's.

** Taiwan isn't ''as'' super flat as Liechten, but she seems to be [[Oh Crap|rather... troubled]] when she sees that the European females (save for Liechtenstein) are not only well-endowed, but not afraid to show it...

'''Sae:''' *[[Head Desk]]* ... Sae is 2D ... }}

* Erutis from ''[[Demon Diary]]'' is quite flat-chested, and [[Rage Against the Author|complains about it]] in an [[Omake]] which also includes a picture of her with an arrow pointing to her chest and the label "no bosom" (and one pointing at her legs: "stubby legs"). She says that this is the reason she was [[Viewer Gender Confusion|mistaken for a guy]] at first by many readers. The peculiar thing is that her chest doesn't really look all that flat; she's easily a B-cup. She just wears a baggy top.

* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' has [[Moe|Ranka Lee]], who while normally not very angst driven about it, does start to get worried at the [[Beauty Contest|Miss Macross Contest]] when she's surrounded by so much [[Buxom Is Better]] and [[Gainaxing]] that she really starts to sweat it. It doesn't help that her best friend, who is the most well-endowed character on ''the entire show'', then tells her [[Hypocritical Humor|size doesn't matter]].

** The Movie also Plays with this. At one point Ranka is making a photoshoot for a construction company, [[Fan Service|wearing a swimsuit.]] The suit is modeled after the company, including its slogans. So, naturally, the phrase "Under development!" is [[Stealth Pun|written upon Ranka's left breast.]]

* Blossom from ''[[Rhapsodies]]''

{{quote|[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/?p{{=}}951 "There's lots a successful ladies out there with a nothin' but washboards for chests."]}}

** Though Giancarlo uses her small bust as an insult, Cecil seemed to be at least slightly interested. If only for verification.

* Secret from ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'' displays elements of this, particularly around Marena.

* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', Zoe's [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/19970923 first appearance] has her wondering if she should get a push-up bra after a rather buxom lass pulls [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]] on Riff and Torg. [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20080729 Judging] [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20090731 by] [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/19980701 later] [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/19980712 appearances], she either got that push-up bra or [[Breast Expansion|hit a second puberty]].

* Sarah from ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' doesn't normally seem bothered by her relative lack of endowment, but [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-04-21 sometimes] it becomes an issue....

* Kiley from ''[[Ménage à 3]]'', so much so that when she dreams of being a professional therapist, she also dreams of having large breasts to go along with it, and when [[Does Not Like Men|Yuki]] mentioned that her girlfriend had small breasts too, she cried tears of joy.

* In ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'', Layla felt a little frustrated next to a buxom [[Succubus]] and openly admitted her jealousy. Nina, being a sister of Layla and daughter of Maria, sometimes [http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/being_picky feels inadequate], especially after Layla teases her about this. Later she got her figure temporarily "improved" by magic, and all the boys are almost drooling, so now Layla feels inadequate... especially after Maria used this golden opportunity to pick on her the way Layla teased Nina earlier. After all the transformations Nina ''did'' stop worrying and start using what she got to maximum effect (even on her previously one-sided and now slightly dazed crush), however.
