History VaporWear / AnimeAndManga

* ''Literature/HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': Presumably because it is a LadyLand with no men, the inhabitants of Batlantis don't wear much when not in battle, and royalty tend to wear transparent dresses with a few colored parts to cover their nipples and crotches.

* ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer'': Sword Maiden's outfit exposes her sides, showing she doesn't have any underwear.

* ''LightNovel/HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': Presumably because it is a LadyLand with no men, the inhabitants of Batlantis don't wear much when not in battle, and royalty tend to wear transparent dresses with a few colored parts to cover their nipples and crotches.

* In ''LightNovel/{{KonoSuba}}'', it doesn't look like Aqua wears panties underneath her dress, which is evidently shown because her miniskirt is see-through at the hemline.

* Ilulu from ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' doesn't wear a bra, instead opting for adhesive bandages over her nipples. It's justified, since her GagBoobs make it impossible for her to find a bra that would fit, and she isn't skilled enough in [[TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter transformation magic]] to form her own.

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'': Heero wears a slinky tank top and Spandex bike shorts, with no evidence of anything underneath.

* ''Manga/HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': Presumably because it is a LadyLand with no men, the inhabitants of Batlantis don't wear much when not in battle, and royalty tend to wear transparent dresses with a few colored parts to cover their nipples and crotches.

* ''LightNovel/HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': Presumably because it is a LadyLand with no men, the inhabitants of Batlantis don't wear much when not in battle, and royalty tend to wear transparent dresses with a few colored parts to cover their nipples and crotches.

* ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'': As shown in one chapter and stated in an end-of-volume 4Koma, [[CatGirl Nekonome]]-[[SenseiChan Sensei]] doesn’t wear a bra over [[HotTeacher her rather ample chest]].

* When the characters of ''LightNovel/StudentCouncilsDiscretion'' each attempt to write a novel about their "adventures", Ken simply writes a parade of HaremGenre tropes. This culminates in Mafuyu [[CuteClumsyGirl tripping]], then admitting that she's not wearing panties.

** Miu's nipples are more defined while she's wearing her LeotardOfPower than if she's [[BarbieDollAnatomy naked]].

* Anko Mitarashi of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' wears only a jacket and skirt over a combination of fish net stocking and skin-tight chain mail.
* Kotoko-01 in ''Anime/DivergenceEve'', in both seasons, she ''definitely'' dosen't wear panties underneath her piloting suits.
* Lust in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''.
** Technically speaking, Lust and at least some of the other homunculi are naked, because [[ClothingAppendage their "clothes" are really part of their body]]. This is shown when they're injured and their clothes regenerate with the rest of them.
** Later on, this also applies to Winry... [[AccidentalPervert and Ed accidentally catches her as she's about to take her shirt off.]]
* Yura of the Hair from ''Manga/InuYasha''. Of course, bras didn't ''exist'' back then, but they didn't dress like that either.
* Princess Kraehe from ''Anime/PrincessTutu''. There's also Mytho, who has this quirky little habit of not only forgetting to wear pants, but apparently also underwear.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' has this a lot.
** [[http://pt.bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Ficheiro:Bleach-halibel.png Harribel]] and her entire Fraccion, [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/5b/2e/29/5b2e298e44189f6d98f21d831bff8390--bleach-anime-anime-illustration.jpg Nelliel]], and [[http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/File:Rangiku_First_Appearance.png Rangiku]] to a certain extent. But [[http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ep161LilynetteGingerbuck.png Lilynette]], my god...
* ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'': As shown in one chapter and stated in an end-of-volume 4Koma, [[CatGirl Nekonome]]-[[SenseiChan Sensei]] doesn’t wear a bra over [[HotTeacher her rather ample chest]].
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** Kalifa, Iceberg's secretary [[spoiler:and an agent of the [=CP9=].]]
** Nico Robin is probably most guilty of this among the Straw Hat Pirates. Though the true masters of this trope are the Kuja Pirates. One in particular, Rindo, has the same unzipped leather jacket mentioned in the ''Manga/{{Tokko}}'' example below.
** Subverted with Tashigi after the TimeSkip. Due to a [[spoiler:FreakyFridayFlip with Smoker]], it looks like she doesn't wear a bra under her shirt because [[spoiler:Smoker has a habit to wear his jackets openly and without an undershirt, that's why he has a NavelDeepNeckline all time he spends in her body.]] However, a fan asked WordOfGod if she really doesn't wear a bra, so [[Creator/EiichiroOda Oda]] asks [[spoiler:Smoker]] if it's true. [[spoiler:Smoker answered he ripped it off.]]
* The girls of ''Ultimate Girls'' may fit this trope -- seconds after expanding to 100 foot tall, their skintight spandex uniforms [[ClothingDamage begin to disintegrate]]. This wouldn't be so bad, except said skintight spandex uniforms are all they are wearing. Not to worry, however, they use the feeling of humiliation at being seen naked by millions as a {{moe}} power source.
* Precia Testarossa in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' goes with this and a NavelDeepNeckline.
* In her mindscape battle with [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Evangeline]] during the Mahora Festival TournamentArc of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', Setsuna is shown wearing the [[SexyBacklessOutfit clothes of the]] [[WingedHumanoid bird tribe]] which doesn't come with a bra. This is for practical reasons, as a bra would get in the way of her wings.
* Some shots in ''Anime/CodeGeass'', especially the [[http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo283/CG-LOVER2/CG%20R2%20Turns/AnimePaperscans_Code-Geass_meimi-2.jpg first R2 ED]], strongly suggest that [[ActionGirl Kallen]] [[GoingCommando goes commando]], though we do see that she does occasionally wear panties. Not a bra, though (at least, not all the time).

* Yumiko in ''LightNovel/ModernMagicMadeSimple'' has gone running around without panties twice. The first time was some unspecified number of years in the past where she threw them at a group of boys who were teasing her about it and then found herself on the run without them later. The second time, they were stolen by a daemon and she went running around without them.
* ''Anime/QueensBlade'':
** Nowa, a forest elf, never wears any panties at all, to the surprise of Leina. She's totally comfortable with it, too.
** Her fellow elves don't even bother with underwear. Alleyne only has leaves under her skirt, and Echidna has her snake as her underwear.
** Cattleya, a [[BoobsOfSteel well-endowed]] [[GentleGiant Gentle]] [[AmazonianBeauty Amazonian]] [[GentleGiant Giant]] and mom, wears an outfit that resembles an apron... [[HadakaApron and nothing else underneath]].
* Yuuma from ''Anime/MagicalPokaan'' accidentally defeats K-ko in episode 1 when this, along with the ChunkyUpdraft from her spellcasting effect, causes a [[RefugeInAudacity rocket-powered]] {{Nosebleed}}. The [[CallBack same thing happens]] in episode 11, but this time on live television.
* Urabe Mikoto, from the ''Manga/MysteriousGirlfriendX'' manga, shares a sort of psychic "bond" with the male protagonist that lets them share emotions (and memories, to some extent) with one another [[spoiler:by tasting each other's drool. For real.]] When some other guy asked her out, she tried to test it on him, but nothing happens. Then, she went with the protagonist (worried at the moment that she might actually switch to the other, "cooler" guy) and uses their bond, whereupon he immediately [[TheNoseBleed gets aroused]] without knowing why. Then, she pulls a pair of panties from her schoolbag, revealing that these were the ones she was going to use that day, and she was, in fact, wearing nothing under her uniform skirt. And it's not the weirdest thing she has done, either.
* Mizuki from ''Manga/NoBra''. Despite what the title may suggest, she seems to be the only one.
* The leotard Miu wears in ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple''. Her nipples are more defined while wearing this than if she were [[BarbieDollAnatomy naked]].
** When Silcardo Jenezad obtains his disciple Bulu, it appears as if she wears ''nothing'' from the waist down except for the bottom section of a tunic. Once the inevitable ClothingDamage starts to pile up, we [[http://www.mangareader.net/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/464/16 see]] her rear end is indeed completely bare.
* ''[[Manga/BlackButler Black Butler II]]'': Episode 6 reveals that, underneath her usual maid outfit, Hannah doesn't wear underwear, only a corset and a see through slip. Probably a case of GoGoEnslavement, though.

* In ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'' (both the anime and the VN), [[LittleMissSnarker Primula]] at first has no idea she's supposed to wear something under her shirt. Rin finds this out when the clothes get wet in SexySoakedShirt fashion.
* As ''Manga/FairyTail'' has gone on, it has become increasingly apparent that none of the women wear bras and that at least [[CovertPervert Erza]] and [[StalkerWithACrush Juvia]] may not normally wear anything underneath their heavier clothing if ClothingDamage is any indication.

* ''Manga/MissMachiko'' has almost every FanService you can name. Whether or not she is wearing a bra varies from episode to episode. We can usually tell by the time her clothes are torn away.
* Kureha from ''Manga/{{Tokko}}'' walks around bra-less and shirtless with only an [[NoShirtLongJacket unzipped leather jacket]] covering her. Sakura also doesn't appear to wear a bra under her tank-top.
* Eriko from ''LightNovel/DragonCrisis'' goes bra-less sometimes - in particular, her dress from episode 6.
* The Yuurei Shoujo from ''Anime/GateKeepers21'' wears a transparent dress, scarf, and nothing else.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma Saotome, being a guy [[IncrediblyLamePun half the time]], never wears bras when he's in his female form.
* ''Manga/{{Saki}}'':
** The show in general has a strange tendency to have characters in very short skirts and to routinely show them at angles that logically should show a panty shot, but perhaps for reasons of modesty never actually shows any panties. GoingCommando jokes are far and wide popular in the fandom and indeed {{Canon}} for a few characters.
** ''Manga/SakiAchigaHen'': Shizuno wears a (zipped) jacket, shoes, and ''nothing else''. She's flat enough not to need a bra at least...
* ''Question Fairy'', a Japanese animation created by the Japanese government to teach kindergarten children what they needed to bring to their first day of school. Some.... fans pointed out she can't possibly be wearing underwear. This is one of the reasons the Japanese government abandoned the project. See it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5XRaWul1fA here]].
* When the characters of ''LightNovel/StudentCouncilsDiscretion'' each attempt to write a novel about their "adventures", Ken simply writes a parade of HaremGenre tropes. This culminates in Mafuyu [[CuteClumsyGirl tripping]], then admitting that she's not wearing panties.
* In ''Anime/GunFrontier'', every time Sinunora loses her pink dress, she has no bra nor panties.
* The titular character of ''Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica'' has this [[http://theotakuspot.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/innocent-malice.png going on]]. She does wear underwear in her civilian outfit, so apparently she loses it in her TransformationSequence.
** Sayaka from the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica main series]] doesn't seem to wear anything under her puella magi uniform, either. Not so obvious in the anime, but more obvious from [[MaleGaze certain shots]] in the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion film]].
* Mikan from ''Manga/RisingXRydeen'' clearly doesn't wear a bra under her SailorFuku as the top is open from the collar down and shows off a bit of UnderBoobs.
* While [[GenderFlip Merlin]] from ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins'' wears a BadassLongCoat, she very clearly doesn't wear a bra what with her coat being open.

* Jessie in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', though by way of an animation error. Gardenia, the Eterna City gym leader from the Sinnoh region, was also subject to this, again by way of animation error.
* ''Anime/CrossAnge'' has a lot of this with the main character if not almost every female character in the show. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because the characters go through a body cavity search where their bra's and underwear are ripped off with [[ThongOfShielding them only wearing thongs in their combat suit]] [[{{Stripperiffic}} and not much else]].
* ''Manga/SailorMoon'' has the Amazon Quartet wear little beneath their {{stripperiffic}} outfits. Ves Ves and Cere Cere wear bikinis, and Palla Palla a leotard. And Jun Jun's low-riding pants prove that she isn't wearing underpants. This actually resulted in the Japanese anime adding [[DigitalBikini color-coded leggings]] to make them a little more dressed.
* The Gods of Destruction in ''Manga/DragonBallSuper'' wear pants, but no underwear, as seen with the ones with tails, such as Beerus and Champa. Though, even when the camera's in a position where you should very clearly see their ass cracks, [[BarbieDollAnatomy they aren't visible.]]
* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Moldova]] is a male example, and often ''only'' wears his patchy, oversized and shabby BadassLongcoat, likely due to his PerpetualPoverty. During the ''Manga/HetaliaHetaween2013'' event, he asks for underwear instead after he's already gotten candy.
* ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'': All of the angeloid's uniforms lack bras. There is a scene where Nymph protests against ever wearing any kind of underwear, followed by the protagonist stating that he now sees why she's beautiful. Yeah, now he can really see everything...
* In ''LightNovel/{{KonoSuba}}'', Aqua does not wear panties underneath her dress, which is [[http://topstrongest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Aqua_(Megami_189).jpg evidently shown]].

* ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer'': Sword Maiden's outfit exposes her sides, showing she doesn't have any underwear.
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'': Heero wears a slinky tank top and Spandex bike shorts...with no evidence of anything underneath.
* ''LightNovel/HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': Presumably because it is a LadyLand with no men, the inhabitants of Batlantis don't wear much when not in battle, and royalty tend to wear transparent dresses with a few colored parts to cover their nipples and crotches.

Due to a [[spoiler:FreakyFridayFlip with Smoker]], it looks like she doesn't wear a bra under her shirt because [[spoiler:Smoker has a habit to wear his jackets openly and without an undershirt, that's why he has an AbsoluteCleavage all time he spends in her body.]] However, a fan asked WordOfGod if she really doesn't wear a bra, so [[Creator/EiichiroOda Oda]] asks [[spoiler:Smoker]] if it's true. [[spoiler:Smoker answered he ripped it off.]]

* Precia Testarossa in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' goes with this and AbsoluteCleavage.

* Honey Kisaragi is often revealed, via ClothingDamage and {{Wardrobe Malfunction}}s, to not wear a bra (though she [[PantyShot definitely wears panties]], at least most of the time). As of ''Anime/CuteyHoney'', her AbsoluteCleavage makes this obvious all the time.

* ''Manga/SailorMoon'' has the Amazon Quartet wear little beneath their {{stripperiffic}} outfits. Bes-Bes and Cere-Cere wear bikinis, and Para-Para a leotard. And Jun-Jun's low-riding pants prove that she isn't wearing underpants. This actually resulted in the Japanese anime adding [[DigitalBikini color-coded leggings]] to make them a little more dressed.

* ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandaloneComplex''. In "ANGELS' SHARE", Kusanagi is in London, wearing a trenchcoat as opposed to her usual {{Stripperiffic}} [[FanNickname battle teddy]], when she has to lure a police Special Weapons officer into an alley so she can [[MuggedForDisguise steal his uniform]]. She keeps the trenchcoat, but the exposed cleavage shows she's removed everything beneath it.

** Technically speaking, Lust and at least some of the other homunculi are naked, because their "clothes" are really part of their body. This is shown when they're injured and their clothes regenerate with the rest of them.

* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'': As shown in one chapter and stated in an end-of-volume 4Koma, [[CatGirl Nekonome]]-[[SenseiChan Sensei]] doesn’t wear a bra over [[HotTeacher her rather ample chest]].

* ''Manga/OnePiece''

* In her mindscape battle with [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Evangeline]] during the Mahora Festival TournamentArc of ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'', Setsuna is shown wearing the [[SexyBacklessOutfit clothes of the]] [[WingedHumanoid bird tribe]] which doesn't come with a bra. This is for practical reasons, as a bra would get in the way of her wings.

* ''Manga/MaicchinguMachikoSensei'' has almost every FanService you can name. Whether or not she is wearing a bra varies from episode to episode. We can usually tell by the time her clothes are torn away.

The second time, they were stolen by a daemon and she went running around without them.

* Anko Mitarashi of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' wears only a jacket over a combination of fish net stocking and chain mail. (And a skirt.)

* Mostly good guy version: Anko Mitarashi of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' wears only a jacket over a combination of fish net stocking and chain mail. (And a skirt.)

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma Saotome, being a guy [[IncrediblyLamePun half the time]], never wears bras when he's in his female form. All the male students at his high school love it, I assure you.
