Vapor Wear / Anime & Manga

• Code Geass:
  • Some shots, especially the first R2 ED, strongly suggest that Kallen goes commando, though we do see that she does occasionally wear panties. Not a bra, though (at least, not all the time).
  • Knight of Twelve Monica Kruszewski has the same implication, since both her dress uniform and pilot suit both show enough leg to make the existence of her underwear highly suspect.
• Honey Kisaragi is often revealed, via Clothing Damage and Wardrobe Malfunctions, to not wear a bra (though she definitely wears panties, at least most of the time). As of Cutey Honey, her Navel-Deep Neckline makes this obvious all the time.
• In Divergence Eve, Kotoko-01 definitely doesn't wear panties underneath her piloting suits.
• The Gods of Destruction in Dragon Ball Super 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, they aren't visible.
• In Fullmetal Alchemist, Lust wears a form-fitting black dress with a low backside and no straps. It reveals enough cleavage for us to know she likely doesn't wear a bra.
• The Yuurei Shoujo from Gate Keepers 21 wears a transparent dress, scarf, and nothing else.
• Ghost In The Shell Standalone Complex. In "ANGELS' SHARE", Kusanagi is in London, wearing a trenchcoat as opposed to her usual Stripperiffic battle teddy, when she has to lure a police Special Weapons officer into an alley so she can steal his uniform. She keeps the trenchcoat, but the exposed cleavage shows she's removed everything beneath it.
• Goblin Slayer: Sword Maiden's outfit exposes her sides, showing she doesn't have any underwear.
• Heaven's Lost Property: All of the angeloid's uniforms lack bras and most have Navel Deep Necklines to make that obvious.
• Hetalia: Axis Powers: Moldova is a male example, and often only wears his patchy, oversized and shabby Badass Longcoat, likely due to his Perpetual Poverty. During the Hetalia Hetaween 2013 event, he asks for underwear instead after he's already gotten candy.
• Hybrid × Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia: Presumably because it is a Lady Land 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.
• Yura of the Hair from Inuyasha wears a minidress with a Navel-Deep Neckline and a skirt that splits open at the side, making clear she wears no bra or panties.
• Yuka from Kemonozume never seems to wear a bra, but her breasts are small enough for her to get away with it.
• Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple:
  • Miu's nipples are more defined while she's wearing her Leotard of Power than when she's 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 Clothing Damage starts to pile up, we see her rear end is indeed completely bare.
• In 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.
• Tsugumi from M3: The Dark Metal wears a white nightgown. A long rip on the lower part of it and a strong wind in later chapters show us that it's the only thing she wears.
• Precia Testarossa in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha wears a dress with a Navel-Deep Neckline and the sides of her waist are exposed, leaving the impression that she doesn't wear underwear.
• Ilulu from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid doesn't wear a bra, instead opting for adhesive bandages over her nipples. It's justified, since her giant boobs make it impossible for her to find a bra that would fit, and she isn't skilled enough in transformation magic to form her own.
• Anko Mitarashi of Naruto wears only a jacket and skirt over a combination of fish net stocking and skin-tight chain mail.
• In her mindscape battle with Evangeline during the Mahora Festival Tournament Arc of Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Setsuna is shown wearing the backless clothes of the bird tribe which don't come with a bra. This is for practical reasons, as a bra would get in the way of her wings.
• Mizuki from No Bra. Despite what the title may suggest, she seems to be the only one.
• One Piece:
  • The Kuja Pirates obviously don't wear anything under their revealing tribal clothes.
  • Subverted with Tashigi after the Time Skip. Due to a "Freaky Friday" Flip with Smoker, it looks like she doesn't wear a bra under her shirt because Smoker has a habit to wear his jackets openly and without an undershirt, that's why he has a Navel-Deep Neckline all time he spends in her body. However, a fan asked Word of God if she really doesn't wear a bra, so Oda asks Smoker if it's true. Smoker answered he ripped it off.
  • Nami, during the Raid on Onigashima, wore a very short kimono-and-armor combo that exposed enough of her legs to make it clear that she wasn't wearing any panties underneath. Also, on Zou she wore a very revealing purple dress that made her lack of undergarments obvious.
• A non-sexual example occurs in the Pretty Cure franchise during transformation sequences, where the girls wear dresses made of colored magical energy to preserve their modesty. Due to them being barefoot and the camera strategically avoiding any shots from below, it is clear the dress is the only thing protecting their modesty.
• Princess Kraehe from Princess Tutu wears a Sexy Backless Outfit with Navel-Deep Neckline, exhibiting her lack of a bra.
• Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
  • Sayaka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica doesn't seem to wear anything under her puella magi uniform. Not so obvious in the anime, but more obvious from certain shots in the film.
  • The titular character of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica wears a Sexy Backless Outfit that clearly shows she doesn't wear a bra.
• Queen's Blade:
  • 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 well-endowed Gentle Amazonian Giant and mom, wears an outfit that resembles an apron... and nothing else underneath.
• Mikan from Rising × Rydeen clearly doesn't wear a bra under her Sailor Fuku as the top is open from the collar down and shows off a bit of Under Boobs.
• Sailor Moon 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 color-coded leggings to make them a little more dressed.
• 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. Going Commando jokes are far and wide popular in the fandom and indeed Canon for a few characters.
  • Saki Achiga-hen: Shizuno wears a (zipped) jacket, shoes, and nothing else. She's flat enough not to need a bra at least...
• While Merlin from The Seven Deadly Sins wears a Badass Long Coat, she very clearly doesn't wear a bra what with her coat being open.
• In SHUFFLE! (both the anime and the VN), 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 Sexy Soaked Shirt fashion.
• Kureha from Tokkô walks around bra-less and shirtless with only an unzipped leather jacket covering her. Sakura also doesn't appear to wear a bra under her tank-top.
• The girls of Ultimate Girls may fit this trope — seconds after expanding to 100 foot tall, their skintight spandex uniforms 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.
• Vermeil in Gold: Vermeil herself, being a very busty succubus, wears only a "virgin killer" sweater with no underwear. And only wears that backless, micro-skirted sweater at Alto's insistence. She'd rather be naked all the time.
• Yui Kamio Lets Loose: In Chapter 7, Yui in Black goes about Teiyo Private Academy in a partially zipped swimming parka and black thigh high socks due to getting her clothes wet while as Yui in White. It gives her a Navel-Deep Neckline showing that she isn't wearing a bra. Yui in Black teases Kiito into wondering whether or not she was wearing panties. After Kiito finally corners her, she relents and gives a Panty Shot to him to show that she was properly wearing panties.
