Bronze Skin Inc. is a webcomic of humor nonsense about the routine of the eponymous company. When suddenly around the world several women grow to a gigantic size, they immediately become a danger to people of normal size. In the city of Rio de Janeiro, a company makes a truce with them by offering the best tan possible, this is Bronze Skin .Inc.

The plot begins 3 years later, accompanying our two protagonists, newcomers Dante and Julia, discovering the adventures that this company provides them, as well as evident Fanservice.This is the first work of the Brazilian author Pedro Barreto, started in July 2019, and a every month, a new chapter is available, being currently in chapter 32 (or the Thirty third chapter, including the pilot).Tapas, ComicFury and Webtoon.


Bronze Skin .Inc contains examples of:

  • Abusive Parents: Raymond Marvires treats his son Otto with a lot of ignorance.
  • Accidental Pervert: In many fanservice scenes, Dante fears being identified this way!
  • The Adjectival Man: Parodied in chapter 4 when Raymond becomes a supervillain who sprays lemon juice on women to ruin their tans. He alternately calls himself Lemonade Man and Lemon Juice Man; when called out on the inconsistency, he claims he would never call himself the other name because it's lame.
  • Adventurer Outfit: In chapter 16, the Green Unit has a design that resembles it.
  • Affably Evil: Charlotte has a major god complex, eats people, and is the first to suggest killing someone. Can also be reasonable and seems to have a high opinion of the titular company.
  • Amazon Chaser: Julia easily falls in love with many giantesses, and Dante to a lesser extent, who is in love with one of the giantesses.
  • Animal Nemesis: From the anger that Supervisor Vanessa shows when she discovered coatis thefts, it seems that she treats them that way in her mind.
  • Another Dimension: Casario
  • Ass Shove: Dante and Julia accidentally fall in between Dandara's butt cheeks. Luckily, she was wearing a thong.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: For unknown reasons, women all over the world, including twelve in Rio de Janeiro, have grown to immense size.
  • Badass Adorable: Coatis that steal the team's water can be very effective at attacking employees, and are really cute.
  • Bald of Evil: Raymond Marvires is the recurring antagonist of the series, and has a bald head.
  • Berserk Button: Coatis discover that Patricia hates being tickled in the worst possible way.
  • Black Bead Eyes: Many characters fit this trope, in the main cast we have Willian and Mike.
  • Brawn Hilda: Vanessa is extremely tall and so over muscled she could put most bodybuilders to shame.
  • Brick Joke: Early in Chapter 7, the Marvires are sent flying by the Saci and disappear into A Twinkle in the Sky, only falling back down near the end.
  • Butt Sticker: Messy Miles in Chapter Five after Charlotte sits on him.
  • Cassandra Truth: Julia won't believe Dante when he says the superhero Titan Tits is the giantess Helena, despite both being giantesses with blue hair. Julia thinks Titan Tits is a regular woman with growing powers.
  • Clark Kenting: The giantess Helena is the only giantess with blue hair. The giantess superheroine Titan Tits also has blue hair. Yet somehow Dante is the only one to put the two and two together.
  • Colossus Climb: Pretty much a necessity for the workers at Bronze Skin.
  • Cuteness Proximity: Patricia thinks the Kraken is adorable. While others see a gross giant squid, to her it looks like something out of Hello Kitty.
  • Dancing Is Serious Business: When Dandara listens to the legendary playlist, she can't resist the impulse of the dance, putting Julia and Dante in danger.
  • Dangerous Workplace: Workers at Bronze Skin have to be willing to be in danger every day.
  • The Dreaded: Of all the giantesses, Marjorie is the most feared, considered cruel by most people, including other giantesses. She's seen as even worse than Charlotte. Dante had a crush on her since school, way before she became giant, and she was just as cruel to him back then.
  • Distant Prologue: The pilot chapter home pages show the moment when women became giants three years before the current plot.
  • Eaten Alive: This is the fate of Messy Miles. After spending most of chapter 5 trying to trespass on Bronze Skin Inc property in order to pester the giantess Charlotte, she plucks him off of her buttock and devours him.

    • The plot on Chapter 6 begins when the giantess Brenda accidentally steps on the King of Sand's latest creation, and he swears revenge.
    • In the end of Chapter 7, Jessica gets even with the Marvires by stepping on them.
  • Giant Woman: The whole plot is based around the existence of these.
  • Girl on Girl Is Hot: In chapter 3, Dante has to keep from getting aroused at work or he'll be fired. Unfortunately, the customers that day are two giantesses who won't stop making out with each other.
  • Gentle Giant: Some giantesses fall in this trope, but not all! In fact, the giantess Charlotte is apparently known to often eat people alive when the mood strikes her.
    • Really, most of the giantesses fall under this, with the only ones to avert it so far being Charlotte and Marjorie.
  • Getting Eaten Is Harmless: Subverted in chapter 5. After Charlotte eats him, we see Messy Miles at the end of the chapter inside her stomach, still very much alive. However, right as he starts talking about what his next prank could be, she starts to digest him.
  • A God Am I: Charlotte thinks her newfound size makes her a god, at least in the Prologue.
  • Gonk: In addition to a disproportionate chin, Otto has a huge hump that doesn't fit his body, giving him the ugliest appearance of the characters. Not that the rest of his family are lookers either.

  • I'm a Humanitarian:
    • In the prologue, a giantess tries to eat the shareholders of Bronze Skin Inc, but she spares them when they promise to provide tanning services to giantesses.
    • Later, this same giantess (Charlotte) eats famous Internet prankster Messy Miles after she gets tired of his antics.
  • Intangibility: The ghost captain who haunts Rita can easily cross her body.
  • Job Title
  • Kraken and Leviathan: A kraken appears in Chapter 13. Patricia wants to keep it as a pet.
  • Liminal Time: Julia touched the anchor where the ghost captain is trapped in the middle of the day, but he only wakes up at sunset, implying that he can only appear at night.
  • Marshmallow Hell: All employees go through it eventually. Usually because they wind up falling into a giantess' cleavage.
  • Ms. Fanservice: All the giantesses are included in this trope.
  • Nice Girl:
    • Helena decided to use her newfound size to become a superhero, and when she's not stopping crime she's mostly friendly to everyone.
    • Although understandably upset at the painful pranks of the Saci, Jessica never retaliates against the crew whom she thought was responsible. She later helps clear up the trouble and apologizes for the misunderstanding.
  • Out of Focus: Chapter 12 opens on the Bronze Skin crew still repairing the damage from the previous chapter, so Babu redirects the reader to a restaurant in the city, where the rest of the story focuses on Titan Tits fighting a robot.

  • Raging Stiffie: Dante keeps telling himself "Don't get a boner" while working. In Chapter Three, his boss threatens to fire him if he gets another erection at work.
  • The Runt at the End: The members of the Super League, a superhero team introduced on Chapter 12, have the standard superpowers and origin stories... except for the last member, Ultra Playboy, a millionaire's son who decided one day that fighting crime in a superpowered armored suit would be dope.
  • Sand Blaster: The Sand King in Chapter 6 is able to manipulate sand to make castles and even sand golems.

  • Troll: Messy Miles has entire web series dedicated to being this, and in chapter 5 his prank involves breaking into Bronze Skin Inc and pestering one of the giantess customers. it doesn't end well for him.
  • Walking Swimsuit Scene: Since the setting is a beach in Rio de Janeiro, and they are there to work on their tan, it almost goes without saying that the giantesses are always walking around in little more than bikinis.
  • Womb Level: In chapter 18, Dante travels through the intravisceral space of Marjorie's organism, including visiting her womb.
  • What Have I Done: Patricia after she angrily tosses the coatis into the horizon. Fortunately, they landed safely.
  • You Have to Believe Me!: Poor Joe gets blamed for the mischief caused by the Saci in Chapter 7. Vanessa thinks he's just making things up, but Dante believes him and tries to help him find the Saci.
