* Simply put, ANY anime or manga that is targeted at a male audience over 14 will most likely play this trope straight. The shows might even have a broader audience, but the boobs are made big to ensure that the post-pubescent male demographic is interested. Even some shows that don't cater to a mature or male demographic can be influenced by this, such as {{Sailor Moon}}.

[[caption-width-right:350:Why does she have so many admirers? I can think of two very BIG reasons...]]

-> '''King of Swamp Castle''': Don't like her? What's wrong with her? She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge... [[UnusualEuphemism tracts of land]].

* BigBraToFill: When a big-breasted fictional female is played by a less-"gifted" RealLife actress.

*** They weren't? [[OfCorsetsSexy What do you think corsets were designed to do?]] They just didn't ''openly'' lust for large breasts, but they certainly encouraged emphasizing them.

* ''{{Basquash}}'' Haruka Gracia, is also this, an exagerated {{Subversion}} of MsFanservice. She's from moon were it's fabled that due to the low gravity women all have gargantuan, perfectly spherical breasts, so here her "lunar bust" became the focal point of attraction with most men and jelousy from most women. Like Mina from ''{{Airmaster}}'', it's most played for [[GagBoobs satire]], as her breasts are shaped like basketballs in a show about basketballs.

** {{Squick}}!

* 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 liked 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

!!{{Sub Trope}}s include:

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantomastia Gigantomastia]], one way to have a real-life natural counterpart of this trope.
** Side-effects include horrible stretch marks, ulcerated skin, barely visible nipples and difficulty standing up.

* Suberted in ep. 24 of ''OnegaiMyMelody''. First subverted by one girl named Iijima who is possessed of truly [[MostCommonSuperpower mighty superpowers indeed]] and lusted after by the boys in class for having such "bodacious boobs", but she quickly scoffs at their clumsy come-ons by telling them her boobs are not very "bodacious" for ''her'' because they're so big and heavy they hurt her back.

* NipTuck has a double subversion in the episode [[GagBoobs Jenny Juggs]], were the titular character, (no pun intended) has incredibly huge breasts that she can even use as [[BoobsOfSteel weapons]], knocking out the protagonist and breaking a pumpkin with them. [[BigBreastsBigDeal Her breasts have caused her a lot of self-esteem issues]]([[YouAreWhatYouHate not help be the fact that she's a stripper]]). She is finally convinced by the protagonist to get a breast reduction bringing her to a C-cup but ends up getting upset anyway because she [[ACupAngst thinks her breasts are too small]].

* In the manga ''Asklepios'', a girl wants to impress some boys so [[BuxomIsBetter she makes her breasts larger by way of "breast demons,"]] that make her go from {{Pettanko}} to well endowed overnight. Unfortunately, the demons are also rapidly killing her, and she's too vain to have them removed. She finally relents when one of the ''boys'' tells her she's stupid for caring that much about looking busty.

The logical opposite to both {{Pettanko}} and UnluckyBustyGirl (each in different respects), and the DistaffCounterpart to BiggusDickus. While BiggusDickus applies BiggerIsBetter to penis size and quality of sex, respectively, this trope applies it to breast size and {{fanservice}}. [[hottip:* : The seeming disparity is due to each organ's respective primary functions regarding sexual activity. The penis is directly involved in sexual intercourse, whereas the breasts are almost entirely about the TheissTitillationTheory--[[CaptainObvious mammary intercourse notwithstanding]].]]
