1	A warning to everyone: ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'' started out as a comic book in Italy. [[ValuesDissonance There's bound to be a few cultural differences]].
2
3	* The advertisements of the comic when it was first published described Irma as "also generous in her shape". "Generous in her shape" is Italian slang for "big tits, big butt, thin waist". [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids It was targeted to teenaged girls]].
4	* Frankly BreastExpansion features heavily in both the comic ''and'' the series. This could all be somewhat explained by the fact they're teenaged girls, who probably are more than a little insecure about the size of their chests at that age.
5	** Will's quite insecure about her underdeveloped bust size, and actually prefers being in her Guardian form because it makes her breasts bigger. Most images of her in Guardian form involve her arching her back and sticking out her chest.
6	** Irma focuses on her breast size as much as Will but for different reasons. Irma is bigger than the other girls, in human form and Guardian form, and is rather prideful about it.
7	*** The novels based on the comics are ''even more'' explicit about it. Taranee, the young black girl with HartmanHips, is shown here as a UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} who is initially jealous of Irma. Conversely, Irma is described as an "early bloomer" and much hay is made about how buxom she is, with both Will and Taranee showing open jealousy and bitterness.
8	* At one point in the comics, they managed to show Phobos getting changed after one of his baths - with some whisperers holding up a cloth as the sole form of censoring his privates.
9	** A very similar scene happens with Endarno during the "Trials of the Oracle" arc. [[spoiler:[[{{Foreshadowing}} It's an early hint]] that [[GrandTheftMe Phobos stole Endarno's body]]]].
10	* Some scenes [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] this somewhat in the original Hyperion translation by [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/5f27641872e6ce61941ea7205140a2b5/tumblr_ov9gvuhbvX1rmxjnjo2_500.png censoring some scenes,]] most notably the ones where the girls were naked during their tranformations and other scenes, redrawing, cutting or even outright removing panels to fit. However, the newer JY translation [[DoubleSubverted Double Subvert]] this by basically ignoring the Hyperion release's censorship and leaving them as they were in the original Italian version. What makes this even more amusing is that [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids both releases are marked by their respective companies as being appropriate for all ages]].
