Illustrates the trope better: Hidden Buxom

While the current article image is good, it is my personal opinion that this image can do a much better job of illustrating the trope for the following reasons:

1. It's not a spoiler. The current image spoils the fact that the character depicted is an absurdly convincing Bifauxnen. This image, however, does not, since the character begins the story as a Wholesome Crossdresser rather than be revealed to the audience as such mid-story.
2. It doesn't even need a caption.

I noticed another issue with the current picture, so I pulled it. It's a spoiler.

I'm not sure if it's too hasty, but I'd rather be cautious about spoilers.

For reference, this was pulled:

Yeah, you're right.

And for the record, this image is a standalone omake artwork from a Heartcatch Precure h-doujinshi by Inazuma (of Highschool Of The Dead fame). I don't know if the character qualified in the original anime, but she definitely does here.

For the record, IIRC I was the one who came up with the old pic; I was unaware of it being a spoiler, so apologies for that. I like the suggestion.

It's one of those halfway It Was His Sled spoilers, so not everyone even knows it's supposed to be a spoiler.

The picture is rather good. It's got it all in one image. The "Looks can be deceiving," quote doesn't hurt.

Right. My only gripe with the resized-to-350px version is that the resolution is a little iffy, but the important lines are still readable; maybe we could just put a link to the full sized version in the Image Links subpage for completeness' sake.

Now, I was thinking that we could at least add a ''witty' caption to accompany this doesn't-not-need-a-caption image. Any suggestions?

The previous caption was "I knew Victoria's Secret Compartment was secret, but this is just ridiculous."

It still works.

Oh yeah, it's very fitting, especially since it can be taken as part of Tsubomi's (the surprised girl on the right) thought process.

So, since I'm rather new to the Image Pickin' process, is there anything else needed before I put the new image in?

Let's get a few more yeas before making a move on it.

Okay. Do we need a crowner?

Not if there aren't any objections.

However, only three people have said anything in this thread, so it's too early to tell.

I don't really care either way, but if you want me to hlep push it along to an image change, you can count this as a support.

I'm cool with the replacement.

I like the replacement. It's pretty darned clear that it's exactly the trope.

A couple more yeas and we can run with it.

Replacement looks good to me.

Yep, the new one looks good.

How was the old one a spoiler? Was the character pretending to be a guy or something?

Yes.

The only issue I have with the new pic is that the text is hard to read. Otherwise it looks good.

Another minor issue, but aren't all the speech bubbles (and even the thought bubble) backwards?

I made the text a little easier to read too.

No objections here.

Good job on the flip, makes it even better. This one seems like a no-brainer to me.

That's probably because it came from Japanese media. Even when stuff gets translated, the right-to-left order is retained.

Flippy picy works.
