In a highly hierarchal society, communal bathing is seen as a great equalizing social event, healthy in establishing a close relationship with peers and family.
A [[Furo Scene]] with girls will inevitably end up with one character admiring another's physical development, with subsequent [[Les Yay|teasing and tickling]]. An added gag is that a highly flustered male on the men's side of the bath only able to hear the discussion and either taking it out of context or trying to get a peek, sometimes both. This is commonly used as [[Fan Service]], but pops up in [[Shojo]] as well as [[Shonen]]. This fanservice-oriented trope is much rarer with guys, aside from playful horsing
A related trope in the West is the Womens' Locker Room, which in a [[Sex Comedy|certain kind of work]] is synonymous with platonic (or not) [[Les Yay]].
And while baths, hot springs, beaches, and locker rooms are the most likely settings, any scene where a girl decides to get playful with her friend's... assets falls under this trope. Even being close friends isn't a hard rule, though you have to question the motives of [[Groper Girl|someone who gropes people they barely know]] for fun.
Any protest from the one being groped is likely to be responded to with "Don't be silly! [[Double Standard|We're both girls, so it's okay.]]" And while this almost always works in anime, suggesting it in [[Real Life]] is [[Captain Obvious|not a good idea]].
Compare and contrast with [[Thanks for the Mammary]], [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]], [[Groper Girl]], and [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Female)]].
This article now comes with a prime [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNqO7dy108c audio-visual example].
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* In ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'', Haruhi is anything but shy about doing this to Mikuru, to her great [http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/impz/HARUHIF_125re.jpg displeasure]. To lots of people, though, it crosses the line into [[Black Comedy Rape]].
** Perhaps because in the [[Light Novels]] Kyon only barely manages to prevent a clearly aroused Haruhi from going even further on several occasions.
*** When she first gets [[Moe Blob|Mikuru]] the [[Meido|maid getup]], she still says "Let's all play with Mikuru!". Her [[Psycho Lesbian]] tendencies aren't completely expunged.
*** Though that time it seems that Haruhi was genuinely blind to the implications. Kyon chastised her, mentioning that she's about to break several laws. Haruhi cluelessly asks: "What laws?", thinks for a moment and stops.
* Parodied in the ''[[Genshiken]]'' manga, where Ohno (a [[Covert Pervert]] otaku) refers to this as "standard bath procedure", much to the disgust of non-otaku Saki.
** When it actually occurs to her, Ohno finds the reality not quite preferable...
* Parodied in ''[[Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok]]''. The male characters can hear the girls on the other side talking about all wanting to pet something, how incredibly soft it is, etc. and suffer from spontaneous [[The Nose Bleed|nosebleeds]]. It is then revealed that the Loki's pet has gotten into the girls side and that they are all playing with it.
* It happens in ''[[Magikano]]'' as well.
* This is Tina Foster's main schtick in the first season of ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'' before [[Character Development|becoming a more serious character in later episodes/chapters of the manga]]. It's most certainly NOT relegated solely to the furo house.
{{quote|'''Suzuki''':"Oh, don't mind. That's just Tina's socially awkward way of saying hello."
'''Tina''':*groping Taeko* "Man, you got some ''serious'' melons!" }}
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
* According to the [[All There in the Manual|Sound Stages]], Hayate of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' has a tendency to do this to the Wolkenritter. ''Including'' the overly serious Signum. ''Including'' the [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]] Reinforce. And she apparently does this to her subordinates when she grows up.
** But it's definitely not sexual harassment! [http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1592232&postcount=1210 It's fun skinship between girls!]
*** With Signum, nine-year-old Hayate notes that if she were to ask to feel Signum's breasts, she would say yes, but would be extremely embarrassed about having it done to her, so she does it in her sleep. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110102074051/http://hontouni.com/zan/2007/01/06/nanohaass1/ Note where her hands are in the second picture].
** In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Striker S]]'' episode 10, Subaru ([[Memetic Mutation|whom rainbows are]] [[Les Yay|straighter than]]) tries various means to wake Teana up and finally decides to try to do so by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUaufp2cXeg squeezing her breasts]. In the supplemental manga, [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_shoujo_lyrical_nanoha_strikers_the_comics/c012/11.html Wendi does this to Deed].
** {{spoiler|Sein}} gropes Rio's chest, Corona's butt and seems to grope Teana's crotch in chapter 11 of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Vi Vid]]''.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
** And then repeated almost verbatim in the [[Distant Finale|epilogue]] with [[She's All Grown Up|Shinobu]] mistaking potential new resident Ema for Su..
* One episode of ''[[Cyber Team in Akihabara]]'' featured the main characters, who interestingly enough only got this much dialogue in the particular episode, doing what sounds for the life of them to be a very half-assed recitation of the typical conversation. It ends with an exasperated Lampshade Hanging by one of the other characters that "Yup, we've done every cliche in a hot springs episode..."
* ''[[Ranma ½
** Akane also chastised Ranma twice by attacking [[Gender Bender|her]] in this manner. The second time (when she thought Ranma [[Accidental Pervert|wanted to grope]] the very buxom Miss Hinako) she grabbed and ''squeezed'' in a "How do ''you'' like it?" manner. The first time (to keep Ranma from picking on P-chan) it was more of a direct, nasty-looking, and completely uncalled-for, grab-and-crush that made [[Made of Iron|Ranma]] ''squeal in pain''.
*** Honestly, it wasn't pain so much as "I can't believe you just did that!"
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
** {{spoiler|The second to last chapter takes this almost to point of [[Black Comedy Rape]]}}.
* ''[[Minami-ke]]'' has a variation in episode 6, when Haruka tries to help another character buy a bra. Oh, and she's unaware that the person she's groping [[Wholesome Crossdresser|is a boy.]]
* ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'' Vol. 1 features an opening scene Minnie-May gropes Rally after her regular target practice while commenting on how stiff her nipples were. Rally returns the favor after Minne-May lets one of her custom-made grenades fly and take out Bonnie's car. She even comments on how they feel like "tiny pebbles"
* In ''[[Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge]]'' Aimi does this to Kaoruko quite a few times. Sure, it's part of their comic routine, but she loves doing it outside of it as well.
* In ''[[Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl]]'', Yasuna is all too eager to help Hazumu try on her first bra.
* [[Ninin ga Shinobuden]] parodies the crap out of this, with [[Dirty Old Man|Onsokumaru]] attempting to join Kaede and Shinobu in the bathtub. He (and the gang of ninja) ends up tied to a giant bag of trash. Then there's what actually occurs in the bathroom...
{{quote|'''Shinobu''': "Oops! My hand slipped!"}}
** Episode 4 has an even more extended example.
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', [[Moe Anthropomorphism|Korea]] loves groping China and Japan's breasts. Even though all of them are male. Prussia also does this to Hungary, thinking that the latter's chest area is his weak spot after he complains of chest pains...only to find out that [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|"he"]] is simply entering puberty.
* [[Karin]]'s boss tries doing this to her to cheer her up. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/chibi_vampire/v04/c015/15.html It doesn't work.]
* In an early chapter of ''[[Ah! My Goddess|Oh My Goddess!]]'', Urd chases Skuld with the intent of administering, in her own words, the "Big Sister Bust Size Check''.
** This also happens in the TV series-- but it's Belldandy showing affection to Skuld, so it tiptoes into [[Moe Moe|sweet and heartwarming]] territory.
* Occurs in the Hokkaido arc of ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]'', interestingly enough.
* In ''[[Paradise Kiss]]'', when Yukari is in her underwear so Miwako can take her measurements, the latter happily exclaims "''aw, cute bra!''" and proceeds to poke her breasts.
* Rika did this, to her ([[Ambiguously Gay|most likely just]]) best friend Satoko, at least a few times in omakes, for the ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' manga. Did I mention they're both 9 year old girls? Though..Satoko is rather developed for her age.
** Also, Rika did this to Mion in an anime omake with different intentions.
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]: Fumoffu'' "[[Hot Springs Episode]]". The boys are listening in as Melissa Mao starts rubbing ointment on [[The Ditz|clumsy girl]] Tessa's cute naked butt. When Mao starts moving on to other places and Tessa is heard telling Mao not to "[[Les Yay|stare at me like that!]]'' cue immediate [[Nosebleed]], even from experienced pervert Kurz Webber.
** In the OVA for the Second Raid, when Tessa falls asleep after Mao gives her some hard liquor - Mao takes advantage while she's sleeping to check her breast size.
* Makio of ''[[Umisho]]'' is positively obsessed with this trope (believing that enough massage will end her days of being a [[Pettanko]]). She's particularly fond of rubbing Shizuoka's breasts. Amuro does this as well, [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|seemingly oblivious]] as to the implications (which may explain why she lets [[Squick|her younger siblings do it to her]]).
* Kuroko of ''[[
* [[The Day of Revolution]]: Megumi complains that she feels like a pervert for "...wearing a bra over the breasts I don't have" after discovering she is inter-sexed and opting to identify as female. Makoto promptly investigates right there in a school hallway and immediately proves otherwise, much to Megumi's embarrassment.
*
** In a much later chapter, Hina gets this again from Miki. [http://www.mangareader.net/203-39820-10/hayate-the-combat-butler/chapter-242.html While alone and naked in a bathtub].
** Even more surprising, Hayate himself nearly does the version Risa pulls while not realizing that it is Hinagiku. And then a second time in an omake stating that Hina ''does'' have something there. Both times he gets a [[Megaton Punch]] for his trouble.
Line 97 ⟶ 98:
* In the Welcome to Fairy Hills special chapter of [[Fairy Tail]], Juvia expresses mortification at being in the [[Furo Scene|public dormitory bath with the rest of the occupants]]. Bisca reminds her that they're all girls and proceeds to playfully poke and grope her.
* ''[[Hanaukyo Maid Tai]]''. Ikyo Suzuki to Mariel during the episode 7 [[Hot Springs Episode]].
* Although she doesn't do it in the main anime series, [[Slayers|Lina Inverse]] is inordinately fond of grabbing her well-endowed comrade Amelia's breasts in the ''Hourglass of Falces'' manga.
* Coming with the [[Furo Scene]] territory in ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'', every female core cast member drunkenly exchanges gropes in or around the bath. Perhaps coincidentally, this was just one episode before the [[Token
* The second half of ''[[Training with Hinako|Training With Hinako: Bathtime With Hinako and Hiyoko]]'' is pretty much a straight-on 12 minutes of [[Les Yay|the title characters groping each other]] while [[Bathtub Bonding|taking a bath]]. The only things keeping it from going straight from ecchi into hentai are some [[Censor Suds|carefully drawn suds]], and that the characters are [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|fairly clueless about sex]]. Both [[Luminescent Blush|show signs of arousal]], but don't identify it past "that tickles" or "this feels good."
* ''[[Maicchingu Machiko Sensei]]'' has a few furo and shower scenes between the eponymous teacher and her famle students. This happens from time to time but considering [[Ecchi|the nature of the show]], everyone eventually gets a feel.
Line 109 ⟶ 110:
* ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'': In the 9th omake there's a picture of Lotti groping a blushing Ada's breasts.
* ''[[Popotan]]'' has Mii do this towards Nono, and one episode later Mai does this to the younger Mai.
* Happens almost whenever Risa and Mio appear in [[To
Line 117 ⟶ 118:
== Video Games ==
* In ''[[Final Fantasy X
* In ''[[Tales of Phantasia]]'', the hot bath scene in Japoni. Arche compliments Mint on her breasts. In the PSX version, it even gives Mint a new title - "Boing-chan."
** ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' has a similar scene which, among other things, gives Lloyd the ([[Accidental Pervert|undeserved]]) title "Peeping Tom." The discussions the female characters have, on the other hand, lead to Colette getting the title "[[Pettanko|Ironing Board]]," and Sheena getting "Wow!"
*** The sequel revisits this with Marta taking the honorable (or not) "[[Pettanko|Ironing Board]]," Lloyd taking home the "Peeping Tom" title for the 2nd time (again, undeserved), and Emil joining the "Peeping Tom" club, (Marta tricked everyone but him into thinking the bath was closed so she could be alone (and naked) with Emil.) As you'd expect, everyone finds out and blames Emil (even though Marta tries to explain that it was her fault).
** ''[[Tales of Hearts]]'' sees Shing charging into the wrong side of the bath to save the girls of his party, getting the title "Dangerous Pervert".
