* ''Anime/{{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.

* ''Anime/{{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 SexySilhouette. He's embaressed and apologizes, but Raiza assures him it's fine.

* Yo-Han from ''Manhwa/NeedAGirl'' makes extensive speeches about how Bigger = Hotter. He is very much a breast man.

* ''Manga/BootyRoyaleNeverGoDownWithoutAFight'': 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 GreekChorus debate the relative merits of Utako versus Misora. The female class rep comes to Misora's defense: Misora being [[OneHeadTaller 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 UsefulNotes/{{karate}} practice means she scratches different itches compared to the much girlier Utako.

* In ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'', the perverted male lead Tomoki is a devout adherent to this trope. This causes considerable ACupAngst in Nymph, the TokenMiniMoe member of [[HaremSeries his harem]].

* In ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' #34, Dinah Lance, the ComicBook/BlackCanary, mentions ComicBook/PowerGirl as having the top bosom of DCU, comparing her assets with a "national treasure".

* ''Film/ElviraMistressOfTheDark'': Patty is considered the most attractive woman in town due to having the largest bust until Elvira moves in and is noticeably larger. [[spoiler:It's later revealed Patty's actually flat-chested and wearing several padded bras]].

* In ''Webcomic/DangerouslyChloe'', Abby asks Chloe if boys would like her if she had big boobs. "[[http://www.dangerouslychloe.com/strips-dc/some_hot_cocoa Aww sweetie... Yes. Yes they would.]]"
* ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': Briefly discussed when Nina [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/layyyyylaaaaah! asks her big sister]], Layla, if guys prefer girls with big breasts like hers. Layla answers "yes", so Nina asks if her boobs will ever grow to be as big. Laylah tells her [[BrutalHonesty not a chance]], which causes Nina to retaliate by stealing her sister's body [[DisproportionateRetribution in order to have]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_borrowed_this her breasts.]]

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Ashley [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2063 "sabotages"]] Elliot's transformation into a girl. She enjoys [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2064 the]] [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2065 result]], though.

* The governors' daughters in the 2004 iteration of ''VideoGame/SidMeiersPirates'' were ranked ''plain'', ''attractive',' and ''beautiful''. Since it's set in the 16th century, [[OfCorsetsSexy corsets]] are part of ballroom apparel; the 'rather plain' daughters are dressed to de-emphasize their bust, while the 'beautiful' ones are dressed to show theirs off.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Dofus}}'', out of the three original Goddesses, [[ArcherArchetype Cra]] is the one considered so beautiful that any non-Cra who sees her falls head over heels in love for her, and out of the three [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/wakfu/images/5/5f/Deusa_cra.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20190525204304 she has the largest bust]], complimented by a green dress showing off both her cleavage and her sideboobs.

** In ''Literature/TheTruth'', the LemonyNarrator goes on a tangent describing how various aspects of Sacharissa's face would have been considered attractive in different eras. The narration then adds that [[SexilyModest her conservative fashion sense]] does little to hide the fact that she also has "a well-crafted supply of other features that never go out of fashion at all and are perfectly at home in any century."

* ''Film/AngelOnMyShoulder'': When first meeting Barbara, Eddie does a thorough MaleGaze inspection, even turning her around. After he's done looking over the very snug business dress the costume designers squeezed Anne Baxter into, he says "You got a lot of curves...in all the right places."

--> Please, Clark, don't make me resort to spelling it out. Or, worse, hand gestures.

* Yang Xiao Long is one of the bustiest girls in ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' (if not ''the'' bustiest) and she is portrayed as a sex worker in ''Fanfic/ValesUnderground'', where it is mentioned that her E-cup breasts help her attract customers.

* ''Fanfic/VoyagesofTheWildSeaHorse'': Almost all of the beautiful women who are part of the Kamikaze Pirates crew are called out for being extremely curvaceous, with literally three who aren't -- and of those, one ends up experiencing BreastExpansion and a second suffers from ACupAngst. It stands out slightly less than usual, since the Grand Line has a reputation in canon as a WorldOfBuxom.

* ''Film/UpPompeii'':
** Titta's appeal comes from her large breasts:
--->'''Procuria''': Now this one I can ''really'' recommend. She's called "Titta".
--->'''Lurcio''': I'm not surprised. Well, don't point them at me, dear. They might go off.
** Nausius compliments Flavia's bosom in his ode to her.

Within various forms of media, there is a prevalent assumption among creators that large breasts automatically make a woman more attractive. This often leads to significant focus on said breasts, or in-universe social norms (or specific {{Cast Herd}}s) treating larger breasts as absolutely more attractive than smaller ones, sometimes going as far as [[ExaggeratedTrope making it the most important or even sole standard of female beauty]] -- regardless of who the fans think is really the most attractive, or whether there is an in-universe distinction between sexual attractiveness and non-sexual beauty. In some cases, establishing that this trope is in effect from the get-go can help avert InformedAttractiveness while still being constrained by GenericCuteness or HollywoodBeautyStandards. Contrast WorldOfBuxom {though there can be overlap).
