* Chapter three of the manga series Asklepios, has the protagonists trying to convince a village girl to let them do operate on her to remove a tumor on her ovaries that resulted in an huge increase of her bust size, but at the [[BlessedWithSuck same time is killing her]]. She initially refused because she thought love interest like big breasts but eventually takes the surgery when said love interest say he cares about her and not her bust. After the surgery over he even says she looks better flat chest

This trope is so frequent and pervasive that a list of straight examples is impractical ([[HeroicBuild like another certain trope]]). RussMeyer notwithstanding, examples should be limited to exceptions, justifications, and exaggerations (including when one character is singled out among her contemporary peers for LampshadeHanging).

* [[RosarioToVampire Kurumu Kurono]] [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buxomisbetter_5580.jpg repeatedly invokes this trope]] as her major selling point in her quest for coming on top of Tsukune's UnwantedHarem. Justified by the fact that she's a [[HornyDevils succubus]] and has the ability to [[HypnoticEyes hypnotize men]].

** Not to mention she nearly smothers Tsukune every time she hugs him, burying his face in her jumbo mugumbos. Lucky devil.

* All female characters created by [[MysticStudiosProductions Isaac M. Baranoff]] in ''{{Horndog}}'' and ''TalesOfTheUnrefined''.

** BTW, [[IGotBetter she regenerates.]] She's a shapeshifter, afterall, being blown to pieces due to her own vanity is more of an injury for her ''ego'' than her body.

** Conversely the [[HugeSchoolgirl towering]], leggy redhead Brittany and [[InnocentFanserviceGirl adorable]] Paige both are naturally well-endowed and like to tease Jamie about her boobs.

** It should be noted that Ferrari died relatively young. A common theory is that it was either the implants or the loads of medications she had to take for her pain [[hottip:*:Those things get on the back, and then ripping skin on the chest doesn't help matters either.]] that killed her. Her husband and manager's refusal of any attempts at an autopsy only helped supporting those theories.

* ''LoveAndRockets''has quite a bit of this. Luba's breasts are enormous. So are most of her female relatives, especially her mother Maria and half-sisters Fritzi and Petra. Their huge busts are constantly commented on by others and are a very integral part of the characters of Luba, Maria, and the rest of the girls in the family. The attention they receive runs the realistic gamut from fascinited and aroused men, disgusted men with a preference for thinner women, and jealous women who call them names like blimp-chest. Luba in particular has complained that her build makes people automatically assume that she is a slut. Petra actually had the largest breasts out of all the women in the family until she had a breast reduction, going down to simply "regular busty." Luba's daughter Doralis has a delightful combination of huge rack and voluptious hips and ass. Her other daughter Guadalupe looked like she was going to escape the "family curse"...until she got pregnant.

* Played with on ''{{WITCH}}'', where all of the main characters have some degree of BreastExpansion and breast size, and how to enhance it, is actually a ''plot point'' (they're all teenaged girls so obviously they're very concerned about their chests at that age), but subverted twice:
## Firstly, in the comics and the series, Irma is the most well-endowed girl, and described in the [[AllThereInTheManual concept art]] as "the biggest girl", but gets teased for it (the novelization points out the others are actually jealous), and when she tried to make her breasts ''bigger'' to impress a boy using magic it backfires and she ends up embarrassing herself instead.
## Hay Lin, an AsianAirhead {{Pettanko}}, uses her Guardian transformation to enhance her breast size. However, team mate Cornelia's [[StacysMom hot mom]] is unimpressed. She openly mocks her by implying she pads her bra (one of the others even ''laughs'' behind her) to which Hay Lin responds by puffing up her chest even more as if to say "It's not padding bitch!"

!RealLife ('''Please refrain from adding any more examples; this is ''NOT'' a list of all real-life people with bigger than average breasts''')

* In ''DevilHunterYohko'', [[http://www.animeresimleri.com/img742.htm Yohko Mano]] {{Lampshades}} the fact that, despite being the most buxom character in the show, every romance she has ends in disaster. In fact it is her lack of romantic success that ensures her role as TheHero, since being a devil hunter is a VirginPower.
** It's only a VirginPower until its first activation. After that, her grandmother (who herself can still use her Devil Hunter powers and is almost certainly not a virgin) immediately tried to get her to get a start on making the next generation Devil Hunter.

* Noriko Kashiwagi from ''{{Persona 4}}''. Despite being quite voluptuous and [[AttentionWhore willingness to show off]] she is hated by all the students in her class, described as being on the "wrong side of 40", and suffers a ego crushing loss when she completed in the highschool pageant

The "Realistic" type usually falls in the "Average" to low-end "Very Large" range of [[UsefulNotes/BreastsInAnimeAndManga TV Tropes' semi-standardized scale]], with "Absurd" covering pretty much everything above that.[[hottip:* :Of course, since WritersHaveNoSenseOfScale, RealityIsUnrealistic often ensues when we notice that the larger sizes are more common in fictional settings than in RealLife.]]

* {{Bleach}} has notoriously played a part with this trope, defining several female characters. The trope being possibly a well-known signature of the series, or to some, even part of it's [[YourMileageMayVary main appeal]]. Notable Buxom Babes include Rangiku Matsumoto, Orihime Inoue, [[spoiler:[[DualAgeModes Nelliel Tu Odelscwanck]]]], Tia Harribel, Yoruichi Shihoin, Kukaku Shiba, Isane Kotetsu, Cirucci Sanderwicci, Haineko, Katen Kyokotsu's pirate half, Chimpette, Mila Rose, Nemu Kurotsuchi, and Retsu Unohana (though the last is only evident in the BeachEpisode and the manga {{omake}} it was adapted from). Even Tite Kubo's [[FanNickname Fan Nickname]] has been influenced by this. However, it's also a nice subversion, as for every Buxom Babe in Bleach, there's as many - if not ''more'' - lesser-endowed chicks roaming around (flat to average).

Within various media there is a prevalent assumption among story writers, artists, etc., that large(r) breasts automatically make a woman [[{{Fanservice}} more]] [[RuleOfSexy attractive]]; this often leads to "excessive" focus on said breasts (even if this assumption is not stated in the text), or the character with the largest breasts getting treated as the [[HelloNurse most]] [[MsFanservice attractive]] in-universe (regardless of [[YourMileageMayVary who the fans think is really the most attractive]]).
