History Manga / ManyuHikencho

* RunningGag: "Lesbians."

* BeachEpisode: Featuring a very [[NaughtyTentacles perverted octopus]]. The episode also proves that large breasts aren't very hydrodynamic.

* NaughtyTentacles: The perverted octopus in the beach episode, who likes to put his victims in some very comprising positions. Chifusa lampshades the FetishFuel elements of this trope when she point out that there [[TakeThatAudience some weird people who find this appealing.]]

* {{Deconstruction}}: The whole show take the idea that a woman's breast size equals status and authority and shows in unequivocal terms that it's a terrible way to judge a woman's worth as opposed to their actual talents and ability to contribute to their society.

* FakeBoobs: Kagefusa dons an inflating bra, after Chidusa steals her breasts.

* HitMeDammit: When Chifusa discovers that Kagefusa has to use fake breasts because she couldn't deal with the lost of her real breasts, which Chifusa stole, chifusa proposes that Kagefusa shrink her breasts as payment.

* PhraseCatcher: "They're so lesbian", directed at Chifusa and whichever [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer girl]] happens to be groping her at the moment ([[LesYay usually Kaede]]).

* {{Deconstruction}}: The Anime is all over the place with tone, but it's made out more than once that when breasts are a status symbol, Fanservice adds an entirely different dimension to a character and the world around her. Especially since breast size can be stolen.

* BreastSponge: During Chifusa's time at a temple, one of the [[NaughtyNuns nuns offers to wash her back with her breasts]]. Really, it was just a technique that makes the receiver truthful about their desires.

* BloodlessCarnage: Hitomune's rampage at his traitous vassal and his men, many were slashed and yet not single drop of blood was spilled.

* {{Deconstruction}}: The whole show take the idea that a woman's breast size equals status and authority and shows in unequivocal terms that it's a terrible way to judge a woman's worth as opposed to their ctual talents and ability to contribute to their society.

* AuthorAppeal: Not the author of the manga, but the director of the anime adaption, Hiraku Kaneko. He has a blatant love for oversized breasts. A lot of elements from the manga are exaggerated in the anime. This is par for the course when it comes to his the other adaptations he has worked on, either as a director or an animator (''{{Eiken}}'', ''Anime/WitchBlade'', ''QueensBlade'', etc).

* OlderThanTheyThink: The show's obvious moral is based off historical conceits from many cultures where physical attributes (such as dainty feat or plumpness) were seen as attractive and the worth of a woman was based around them, often for fallacious reasons that, much like the show premise, resulted in warped societal standards of attractiveness.

* BigBreastsBigDeal: This is played with to an extraordinary degree. Many well endowed characters make up more than one type at once. Chifusa has been each type at least once and has been [[BeyondTheImpossible three or more of them at the same time]] in some situations! This is partially because people's sizes tend to change in this series.

* LesYay: Played with a lot. Especially with Kaede.

* MeaningfulName / PunnyName: Chifusa's name is one ''dakuten'' (voiced accent mark) away from ''chibusa'' ([[GagBoobs "udders"]]).

* PunnyName: They are abound, many characters have ''"Mune"'' in theirs names, yet another name for breasts.

* InterruptedIntimacy: In episode 5 [[KidsWalkInAtTheWorstTime Yasuke's kids walk in on him and their soon to be stepmother]] just as the couple was about to get passionate with each other. Fortunately, they were too young to understand what was going on.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Chifusa.

* HitMeDammit: When Chifusa discovers that Kagefusa has to use fake breasts because she couldn't deal the the lost of her real breasts, which Chifusa stole, chifusa proposes that Kagefusa shrink her breasts as payment.

* BileFascination: How most viewers become gravitated towards this series in the first place.

* {{BFS}}: Ouka wields a katana almost as big as her, and she's fast it too.

HitMeDammit: When Chifusa discovers that Kagefusa has to use fake breasts because she couldn't deal the the lost of her real breasts, which Chifusa stole, chifusa proposes that Kagefusa shrink her breasts as payment.

[[TheProtagonist Chifusa]], [[HeirToTheDojo the future successor of the Manyu Clan]], becomes disillusioned of the crazy society in which she lives, and flees with the [[AncientArtifact sacred scroll of the clan]], which explains all of their breast-growing secrets, as well as the technique to destroy the breast. Chifusa gained her status as successor not because she was the eldest of the aristocracy (although being one of the previous successor's children helps a bit), but because of a technique she and she alone possesses: the ability to not destroy, but [[BreastExpansion absorb]] breasts. While [[FetishFuel remarkable]], this is mostly a hindrance to Chifusa. Despite this, she goes on a RobinHood-esque quest to right the wrongs of society and to punish the unjust who flaunt their wealth.
