Line 6:
In this strange time, the social status of a woman is entirely dependent on the [[Buxom Is Better|size of her mammaries]]. The more favorably endowed tend to live the life of aristocracy and wealth. The less-than-ample are treated like trash. Of course, a system such as this would lead to a very erratic society, with wealth shifting hands haphazardly every generation. That's where the Manyu Clan comes in.
[[The Government|The Shogunate]] employ the Manyu Clan, a group of samurai who know the endless intricacies and knowledge of the human breast, to keep the rich and poor in their place. Using knowledge and techniques passed down through the generations, the Manyu Clan nurtures the future aristocracy to reach their buxom potential. They also dispatch of the poor who develop [[Bigger Is Better|massive]], [[
[[The Protagonist|Chifusa]], [[Heir to the Dojo|the future successor of the Manyu Clan]], becomes disillusioned of the crazy society in which she lives, and flees with the [[Ancient Artifact|sacred scroll of the clan]], which explains all of their breast-growing secrets, as well as the technique to destroy the breast. Chifusa gained her status as successor not because she was the eldest of the aristocracy (although being one of the previous successor's children helps a bit), but because of a technique she and she alone possesses: the ability to not destroy, but [[Breast Expansion|absorb]] breasts. While remarkable, this is mostly a hindrance to Chifusa. Despite this, she goes on a [[Robin Hood]]-esque quest to right the wrongs of society and to punish the unjust who flaunt their wealth.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Above Good and Evil]]: Considering Good = Boobs in this world, it's not hard to see why Chifusa thinks this way. By conventional standards, though, she really isn't.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Not the author of the manga, but the director of the anime adaption, Hiraku Kaneko. He has a blatant love for oversized breasts. A lot of elements from the manga are exaggerated in the anime. This is par for the course when it comes to his the other adaptations he has worked on, either as a director or an animator (''[[Witchblade (anime)|Witchblade]]'', ''[[Queen's Blade]]'', etc).
Line 25:
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: [[Action Mom|Tsuyuha]] wields a naginata.
* [[Blood From the Mouth]]: Momoha
* [[Bloodless Carnage]]: Hitomune's rampage at his traitorous vassal and his men, many were slashed and yet not single drop of blood was spilled.
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Kagefusa, in the first chapter or episode, as the first victim of Chifusa's ability to absorb breasts; she goes from extremely well endowed to flat or nearly so in seconds, and Chifusa's breasts jump in size to even bigger than Kagefusa had, just to rub salt in the wound.
* [[Breast Expansion]]: And how! It's a pretty big part of the series as a whole.
Line 31:
* [[Cain and Abel]]: Chifusa and Kagefusa. This mainly due to Kagefusa jealously over Chifusa being chosen to become successor to the clan [[Buxom Is Better|despite Kagefusa having bigger breasts.]]
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Pretty much any sympathetic male character, but ''especially'' Lord Mie Hatamune.
* [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]]: Quite a few of the girls, actually.
* [[Deconstruction]]: The whole show takes the idea that a woman's breast size equals status and authority and shows in unequivocal terms that it's a terrible way to judge a woman's worth as opposed to their actual talents and ability to contribute to their society.
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Chifusa, and it's not just Kaede who goes after her.
* [[Fan Service]]: Considering the type of magazine it is published in, as well as the very concept of the work itself, this shouldn't come as a shock. However, as the series has progressed, fanservice has become less and less frequent.
** The anime is exactly the opposite. It took the fanservicey nature of the first volume and cranked it [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Fake Boobs]]: Kagefusa dons an inflating bra, after Chifusa steals her breasts.
* [[Fan Service with a Smile]]: More than once Chifusa and Kaede have had to get part time jobs in maid outfits to keep their funds up.
* [[Gag Boobs]]: It's an action/comedy about breasts. You should have seen this coming.
** There's one particularly notable example; after [[Curb Stomp Battle|devastating]] a very large group of buxom ninja, Chifusa finds herself with breasts so big she can't even stand due to their sheer weight. Cue a Rocky-esque montage of her training at a nearby temple to learn how to reduce her size while wearing what is essentially the biggest sports-bra ever.
* [[Gainaxing]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] when Chifusa agree to represent a village in a festival where each side nominates their bustiest woman to stand on portable platforms and has attendants shake the platforms under them to get the breasts to bounce.
** Weaponized in the second episode where an assassin puts Chifusa in a trance with a technique that involves drugs and spinning her breasts. However, the downside is that the technique causes her breasts to sag.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Kaede in episode 3.
{{quote|'''Kaede:''' ''"[[A-Cup Angst|Come back, my oppai!.]]"''}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Kaede is played by [[Aki Toyosaki]], and Ouka is played by no other than [[Mamiko Noto]].
** Chifusa is voiced by [[Minako Kotobuki]].
** Oume from episode 1 is voiced by [[Yoko Hikasa]]
* [[Hidden Buxom]]
Line 60:
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: The perverted octopus in the beach episode, who likes to put his victims in some very comprising positions. Chifusa lampshades the [[Fetish Fuel]] elements of this trope when she point out that there [[Take That, Audience!|some weird people who find this appealing.]]
* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: More like marshmallow heaven in most cases.
** In episode 5 one of the things Yasuke's kids miss about their mother, is how she'd smother them with her breasts.
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: Much of the cast has names with ''Mune'' on them, yet another word for breasts, although the kanji for them actually has other readings, so it won't blatant mean just breasts.
** '''Mune'''yuki, '''Mune'''nori, Hato'''mune''' and other minor characters.
Line 68:
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: Chifusa sees the distinction of judging a woman's place in society by her cleavage level to be ridiculous, and her goal is spread this fact to everyone else.
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: "They're so lesbian" (usually said in deadpan), directed at Chifusa and whichever [[Even the Girls Want Her|girl]] happens to be groping her at the moment ([[Les Yay|usually Kaede]]).
* [[Reluctant Fanservice Girl]]: Chifusa. She's a broke runaway samurai in a world that favors huge breasts. She's doesn't have any choice but to use her huge breasts to make money.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Lord Mie is actually [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|rather terrifying]] when he finds out that someone's harmed Chifusa('s breast).
* [[Samurai]]: Although they are much more like [[Ninja]].
Line 77:
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: At first glance, this is Chifusa. It becomes apparent very quickly that she's a goofy, slightly girly [[Tomboy Princess]] who is trying as hard as she can to be aloof.
* [[Title Drop]]: The Scroll Chifusa carries with her, the Manyu Clan's treasure: Manyu Scroll --> Manyu Hikenchou.
* [[Too Hot for TV]]: As expected, the initial version has been called a "Broadcast Wreck" due to excessive use of [[Lens Flare Censor]] that renders it mostly unwatchable. The AT-X broadcasts, meanwhile, are partially uncensored, and the fully uncensored [[Directors Cut]] is available as a streamed webcast. DVD and [[Blu
* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: Where Chifusa keeps the scroll.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Kagefusa
* [[Widget Series]]: However you may take the shockingly-bizzare concept, you have to praise it for being daring and original.
* [[Work Off the Debt]]: Chifusa and Kaede seem rather used to having to work at the places they rest and eat. In the beginning of episode 4, when they realize they don't have enough money to pay for the food they just eat they immediately put on their waitress uniforms from a previous episode.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: After Kagefusa's squad fails to capture Chifusa, she punishes them by shrinking all of their breasts. Considering how important breasts are in this show it's a hefty loss.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Chifusa and Kagefusa.
