A Cup Angst / Visual Novels

• Sara Smith from Bliss Stage First and Final Act:
  Sara: I'm TRYING to make my breasts look bigger... I figure that people won't take me seriously because I look like a girl, not a woman...
• Kyoko from Crescendo (JP) generally holds this attitude about herself. Granted, she's not small-chested at all, so it just ties into her other body issues.
• Toko Fukawa from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. She'll occasionally bring up her small cup size as one of the many things she accuses the others of looking down on her for. Her Split Personality, Genocide Jack, is more about Petite Pride and snarking at the more well-endowed Asahina whenever she can.
• In a hidden changing room scene in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Himiko Yumeno is embarrassed that all three of her classmates present have significantly larger breasts than her, but Tenko, who clearly has a crush on her, reassures her that "they're nicely shaped".
• Saber of Fate/stay night, once she starts to develop feelings for Shirou, shows discomfort over the fact that she doesn't have a better figure. During her date with Shirou at the pool in Fate/hollow ataraxia, Lancer makes the mistake of saying that a bikini is for more mature women- At which point Saber proceeds to kick his sorry ass all over the pool.
• Tsukasa from Fragment's Note acts like this often to reinforce his girly image, especially when arguing with Kazuha. Ayame, however, possesses this genuinely.
• Grisaia Series:
  • In The Fruit of Grisaia Michiru is rather self-conscious about her modest breast size, though that is mostly because she always compares herself to her more well endowed peers at Mihama Academy.
  • During one of the The Eden of Grisaia ero sidestories, the Chiara episode develops her relationship with Yuuji a bit. She has a weird habit of asking him to touch her butt and only her butt as her only way of flirting with him. Apparently, she doesn't like to think about her bust thanks to her boss being JB, who has the largest bust in the story.
• If My Heart Had Wings: Occasionally, Kotori shows nervousness that Aoi won't be as attracted to her because of her modest chest, even though she's normally pretty confident about her looks. Though considering she has Amane and Ageha to compare herself to, it's probably no wonder.
• In her own H-scene, Ayu of Kanon starts apologizing because her chest isn't as big as Nayuki's. She's not an A-cup at all and has a slightly bigger bust size than Shiori; you just can't tell most of the time since she wears a baggy coat.
• Kazuna in Kara no Shoujo. Reiji jokes that while her belly may be big due to pregnancy, her chest is as flat as ever.
• In Little Busters! Kud gets angry when Haruka starts talking about how to get a bigger chest with Kurugaya.
• Hinami from Nukitashi thinks her flat chest is the reason she isn't asked out and tries out different methods to grow it to the island standard.
• School Days:
  • Setsuna Kiyoura. It doesn't help that both her best friend (and half sister, in the games) Sekai Saionji and her love rival Kotonoha Katsura are much better endowed.
  • Otome Katou has this issue due to being one of the smaller bust female characters, especially when compared to Kotonoha or her own younger sister.
• Song of Memories has Satsuki and Fuuka, who both are shown as having this. Satsuki is only a bit below average, but lives in a World of Buxom. Fuuka, on the other hand, not only has abnormally large boobs like the rest of the female cast, but is actually bigger than one of the people she's comparing herself to. Usually.
• Mayumi and Sage in Tick! Tack! both have pretty severe depression over their busts, though Mayumi tries to console herself by thinking of those with a fetish for bodies like hers.
• Tsukihime
  • Akiha Tohno, the Tsundere Ojou, is well aware of her small assets, but that doesn't really prompt out until the more intimate scenes in her route of the game ("'I have small breasts, so I was scared you might not like them.' Akiha is blushing so hard that even her ears are turning red..."). Fanon took this aspect of her personality and ran with it.
  • The sorta-sequel Kagetsu Tohya features one possible path where Shiki walks in on her changing and, for some reason, is compelled to comment that her chest is "steep as a cliffside". Unsurprisingly given the nature of the characters involved, this leads to a Bad End.
  • Becomes an Ascended Meme in Carnival Phantasm when Shiki comments on how Akiha has grown in every parts except her breasts, even being regressed into a 4-years old mentally didn't stop her to turn red and presumably beat the shit out of Shiki.
• When They Cry:
  • Rika Furude of Higurashi: When They Cry berates herself for this, despite being twelve years old. Rika's technically centuries old. The constant time loop that she goes through keeps reverting her physical body back to a younger time point, and she never reaches puberty. Near the end of the series, she resolves to grow up to have huge breasts, which is a lot more poignant than funny, given the context. In the anime adaptation, there's a short bit at the end of episode 5 of season 2 where Rika grabs Mion's boobs and declares "I won't lose!" And in one of the OVA episodes, she has a dream where she's a grown up Magical Girl. The first thing she does when she wakes up is feel her chest and make a sad expression.
  • This is Played for Drama in Umineko: When They Cry. Word of God has stated that the very well-endowed Shannon actually has Fake Boobs. In the manga it's revealed that Sayo Yasuda, Shannon's true identity, never actually grew breasts at all, which is heavily implied to be because she was designated male at birth but Raised as the Opposite Gender due to her sexual organs being badly damaged. Since Battler (who Sayo is in love with) has often made his Buxom Beauty Standard clear, and both Shannon and Beatrice (another one of Sayo's personas) are both well-endowed, it's clear that Sayo is very insecure about this.
• Nayuta Kagura, in Yumina the Ethereal, to the point where she lies about her body measurements and to a lesser degree, Kirara Kurokawa, in which mentioning how small she is tends to elicit threats of violence from her.
• Zero Escape:
  • June from Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors implies to be angsty about her breast size in a conversation with Junpei at the cargo hold. Apparently, she's not too happy that boys tend to prefer well-endowed women like Lotus.
  • Phi from Virtue's Last Reward takes offense when Sigma makes an offhand remark about her unimpressive breast size, adamantly insisting that she's a C-cup. Absolutely nobody buys it.
    Sigma: If you're a C-cup, I'm packing twelve inches!
  • In Zero Time Dilemma, Phi now claims to be a D-cup after Sigma snarks that she's the only member of their team who can fit into an air vent. Sigma brings up the C-cup conversation from before, to which Phi responds that it's been 45 years since the last game, so she's bound to have gone up a size. Sigma again isn't buying it. First of all, they're 45 years in the past. Second, they used Mental Time Travel, and Phi spent/will spend those 45 years as a Human Popsicle, so she's physically the same age now as she was/will be in the future, give or take a few months.
