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 around -- witharound—with the obvious occasional exception of [[Yaoi Guys]]. In the United States, anime scenes with this trope will most likely either be altered or cut out all together, due to different censorship policies.
 
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 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|[[Ranma ½]]'' has several very odd examples: When Ranma (in girl form) is first introduced to the Tendos Nabiki pokes her breasts twice (much to Ranma's repressed annoyance): once to demonstrate that yes, she is indeed a girl and the second time just to reinforce the point. Later on towards the end of the manga Nabiki gropes Ranma ''again'' and confirms that girl-Ranma's breasts have indeed grown ''[[Fan Service Pack|even larger]]'', in a scene many consider the biggest example of [[Les Yay]] in the manga (which is normally [[Unfortunate Implications|rather opposed to homosexuality]]).
** 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 83 ⟶ 84:
** 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 ''[[ToA AruCertain MajutsuScientific no Index|KurokoRailgun]]'' thinks 'intimacy' is wonderful. Mikoto disagrees, as she does not enjoy being groped while [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|the groper]] sounds steadily more and more excited... Yeah, she gets booted through the door.
* [[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.
* SuprisinglySurprisingly, [[Hayate the Combat Butler|Risa]] does this to [[Pettanko|Hinagiku]].
** 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 98 ⟶ 99:
* ''[[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 Mini-MoeLoli]] was added to the group.
* 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 Love LOVE-Ru]].
