* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': Rentarou's face can be fully enveloped in Hahari's I-cups. They're the equivalent of Karane taking about 60[[labelnote:*]]compared to other brands[[/labelnote]] doses of Vitamin π.

* ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'':

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'':

** Surprisingly the goddess [[CelibateHero Artemis]] is this. In one epic poem, the ''Dionysiaca'', a nymph named Aura spends a good while describing how large, sensual and voluptuous her breast is. Aura concludes that with boobs like that, Artemis cannot possibly be a virgin.

* The Homeric Hymn to Demeter describes Persephone as "trim-ankled" and "buxom", and Eros and Psyche's myth even claims her beauty rivaled that of Aphrodite.

* Kagome from ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', is shown to be rather busty when she's naked. In fact, when Miroku first sees Kagome, he almost comments on her breasts but instead comments on how large the shikon jewel shard she's wearing is.

* Literature/TheBible:
** In the ''Literature/SongOfSongs'', the Beloved comments on the Shulamite's ample breasts using some interesting descriptions. The Shulamite herself says that her breasts are like towers, which follows her brothers talking about having a sister that has no breasts and wondering what to do when she is spoken for in marriage.
** From the ''Literature/BookOfProverbs'', in speaking about a man's wife: "Let her breasts always satisfy you, and be intoxicated with her love."

* Literature/TheBible:

* This is one of [[JustForFun/TropesExaminedByTheMythbusters the many tropes examined]] (and confirmed) by ''Series/{{MythBusters}}'': working as a barista, Kari earns 30-40% more tips ''from both genders'' when she wore extra-large fake breasts, as compared with her normal bust and when she bound them.

This trope is not simply "Big Breasts = Hot Girl;" the female character needs to be seen as ''more'' attractive in-universe because of her larger breasts. Her breasts should at least be referenced in dialogue if not an integral part of the character. Male characters often gawk at her breasts and may be easily influenced if said female character flaunts her breasts, leading to IHaveBoobsYouMustObey. Female characters, especially flat-chested ones are often prone to jealousy and yearning for larger breasts. Compare BigBreastPride and GagBoobs. PlasticBitch is when a character ''does'' get a boob job, but the story portrays her as vain and bad for it.

* ''Manga/{{Airmaster}}'' Nakanotani Mina. Unfortunately, it's much to her dismay as it's the main reason why she gets hit on so much. Ironically despite being the most attractive female in the series Mina and her breasts are mainly played for [[GagBoobs satire]] and the source of many awkward situations.

* Over half the male cast in ''Manga/DesertPunk'' is enamored with [[FemmeFatale Junko's]] [[GagBoobs huge breasts]] and [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey she is more than willing to take advantage of that]].

* ''Manga/GirlsBravo'': It's two of [[GagBoobs the main reasons]] Fukuyama, [[PsychoLesbian Kosame]], and countless middle-aged perverts all have the hots for Kirie - because she's already an '''F-Cup''' at only 16 years old. Which is also why Fukuyama can't keep his hands off them, no matter how many times she [[PervertRevengeMode flattens him for groping her.]] Tomo even refers to Kirie as a "boob monster," while Fukuyama says he prefers to call her "booberiffic".

* The rival cake shop in episode nine of ''Manga/KamenNoMaidGuy'' makes use of this trope. They get away with selling [[LethalChef terrible food]] to their predominantly male customers because they're too busy staring at the [[DistractedByTheSexy waitress' large breasts to notice how bad it is]]. Also this trope is very much in effect for [[GagBoobs Naeka]], much to [[MyEyesAreUpHere her annoyance]] and her friends' [[MealTicket financial gain]].

* Lucoa's GagBoobs in ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' have almost universal appeal among the opposite sex, from Shouta's preteen classmates all the way up to geriatrics at a retirement home.

* In ''Manga/{{Saki}}'', [[TheOneGuy Kyotaro]] hold this view. He often ignores [[TokenMiniMoe Yuuki]]'s obvious attempts at seduction and dismisses the idea that he could find any sex appeal in her every time she tries to tease him. On the other hand, he has quite a few ImagineSpot about [[GagBoobs Nodoka]] and her assets.

'''Marius:''' She is Spanish and ''[[makes GagBoobs gesture]]''...monumental.

* In one of the ''Literature/GossipGirl'' novels, one girl uses artificial means to try and [[BreastExpansion increase her breast size]], but it backfires because she becomes [[GagBoobs too big]]. Jenny Humphries, on the other hand, has naturally huge breasts that garner her plenty of attention from male characters.

* Wrestling/{{Jacqueline}} Moore has bragged about [[GagBoobs how much woman]] she was on ''Monday Night Raw''. To be fair, she only did this during the then common Wrestling/{{WW|E}}F "Bikini Contests". Really, this was still a fairly new concept in pro wrestling; she and Wrestling/LunaVachon being some of the first really "stacked" wrestlers on national television and both of them were {{heel}}s, at first anyway.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' treats Emma Millstein's breasts as a [[GagBoobs running gag]] due to how massive her size is. Enough that Alisa, whose breast size is slightly below Emma's but, ends up getting jealous at how big Emma's is. [[CovertPervert Enough that]] [[TheHero Rean]] ends up staring at them while the two of them were studying in one of Emma's bonding events.

* ''VideoGame/ShiningResonance'' treats Sonia's breast size as [[GagBoobs a running gag]], since even her armor can't hide the fact that she's stacked. One skit has Marion deciding to drink more milk after being told by Sonia that she drinks lots of it[[note]]Sonia failed to notice Marion was staring at her boobs, so she assumed Marion was asking about her strength[[/note]]. In a separate skit, Primula says she intends to have boobs like Sonia's when she's older, so she can get back at Rapple for making fun of [[ACupAngst her "pancakes"]].

* ''VisualNovel/TheFruitOfGrisaia'': Amane is rather well endowed, which mostly played for [[GagBoobs laughs]], but protagonist Yuuji, by self-admission, likes breasts bigger, and since Amane is aware of that kind of tendency in man, she is not afraid to take advantage of it. In fact, Amane deliberately dresses in skimpy outfits, not only to show off her "assets" more but because she noticed, that the elderly male shopkeepers tend to shower her with freebies.

* This appears in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' with Judith, who is regarded as the sexiest party member because of her large breasts. Oh. And exposed [[BareYourMidriff midriff]] and [[ShowSomeLeg legs]].

* In ''Webcomic/{{Rascals}}'', pretty much the majority of female charcters, especially Koyoko and Reiko.

* ''Literature/JeevesAndWooster'': Bertie Wooster might be a CelibateHero, but that doesn't mean he can't appreciate the female form. Like in ''Literature/JeevesAndTheFeudalSpirit'', when he describes the gorgeous Daphne Dolores Moorehead as having "more curves than a scenic railway".
** ''Literature/RingForJeeves'': "Bill, as I remember it, was always more of a lad for the buxom, voluptuous type."

** In ''Literature/{{Thud}}'', Tawnee, who is convinced something is wrong with her because men never ask her out, when in fact it's obvious to almost any man that she's way out of his league, has a litany of reasons for this that includes "my bosom is too large". Angua and Salacia explain to her that this is not actually a problem in the way she thinks.
** In ''Literature/{{Snuff}}'' when Lady Sybil tells Sam that one of the Gordon daughters who are seeking husbands is self-conscious about her bosom, Sam makes a valiant attempt at keeping a straight face as he suggests that finding a husband may not be as difficult as she believes. When he actually meets her, he thinks "Men would be queuing up to fight over you. Why has nobody told you?"

The logical opposite to DCupDistress and PetitePride (though in different ways). A common cause of ACupAngst. (though in different ways), and the DistaffCounterpart both to BiggerIsBetterInBed, which applies BiggerIsBetter to penis size and quality of sex, and the male half of MuscleAngst, which equates attractiveness with larger muscles. When it is paired in some way with another female with a smaller chest, then it's a BustContrastDuo. When related to the amount of muscle/fighting ability, you get BoobsOfSteel.
