* 無 (\'\'nashi\'\') - literally, \
to:
* 無 (\\\'\\\'nashi\\\'\\\') - literally, \\\"nothing\\\". No tits except the nipples. No need for anything more supportive than an undershirt, if that. They use the word \\\"loli\\\" to refer to an overall prepubescent body-type, not the bust specifically.
* 貧乳 (\\\'\\\'hin\\\'nyuu\\\'\\\') - literally, \\\"poor breasts\\\". The name itself is derisive, but it\\\'s the commonly-accepted term. Generally a Western A-cup.
* 不通 (\\\'\\\'futsuu\\\'\\\') - literally, \\\"average\\\". (Also a derisive term, albeit subtly; it implies that the girl\\\'s chest is \\\"nothing special.\\\") Just as it says, it refers to average-sized breasts. Mostly covers the small B-cup range. (The \\\"-nyuu\\\" is not usually attached, and \\\"funyuu\\\" is not a real word; if it were, it would be 不乳 (\\\"no breasts\\\").)
* 巨乳 (\\\'\\\'kyonyuu\\\'\\\') - lit. \\\"large breasts\\\". No issues here.
* 爆乳 (\\\'\\\'bakunyuu\\\'\\\') - lit. \\\"explosive breasts\\\". Again, no corrections, just throwing out the kanji for reference.
* 超乳 (\\\'\\\'chounyuu\\\'\\\') - lit. \\\"extreme breasts\\\". Important to pronounce it \\\'\\\'chounyuu\\\'\\\', as \\\'\\\'chunyuu\\\'\\\' (中乳) refers to mid-sized ones.

A separate category, which is gaining increasing emphasis in manga these days, is \\\'\\\'binyuu\\\'\\\' (美乳, \\\"beautiful breasts\\\"). This refers to breasts that are perfectly-formed for their size, almost completely symmetrical, with nipples and areolae of proportionate size and placed in the exact right spots. \\\'\\\'Binyuu\\\'\\\' can only be found within the \\\'\\\'futsuu\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'kyonyuu\\\'\\\' sizes, as anything less isn\\\'t enough to create a definite shape, and anything more is considered grotesque.

Personally, I\\\'m most fond of \\\'\\\'kyonyuu\\\'\\\', but I place more emphasis on body proportion. D-cups on a four-eight, 110-pound woman with no hips to speak of (yes, I\\\'m looking at \\\'\\\'\\\'you\\\'\\\'\\\', Shirow Masamune!) make me flinch, and not in a good way.

IRL, I tend to use the following metric:
# Are they so small that gravity makes them disappear when she\\\'s on her back?
# Are they big enough to conceivably hit her in the eye on the upswing?
# Has any surgical enhancement been done?
# If none of the above apply, they\\\'re fine.

EDIT by @/MarqFJA: You\\\'re using incorrect markup. Also, spoilers are unnecessary; anyone uninterested can just hide the whole topic and its replies with one button click.
