History ACupAngst / VisualNovels

** June from ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' 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 like well-endowed women like Lotus.
** Phi from ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' takes offense when [[ChivalrousPervert Sigma]] makes an offhand remark about her unimpressive breast size. Rather than getting bent out of shape about this, she adamantly claims that she has a C-cup, though nobody in the group buys this, including the audience.
--->'''Sigma''': If you're a C cup, I'm packing twelve inches!
** Brought up once again by Sigma in the sequel, ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'', this time when suggesting that Phi would have the easiest time fitting into a tiny air vent. Apparently, Phi believes she went from Cs to Ds in the time between games, despite the fact she's in a slightly younger body due to MentalTimeTravel. [[LampshadeHanging Sigma calls her out on this]].

** Setsuna Kiyoura. It doesn't help that ''both'' her best friend [[spoiler:(and half sister, in the games)]] Sekai Saionji and her love rival Kotonoha Katsura are ''[[GagBoobs much]]'' better endowed.

* ''VisualNovel/SongOfMemories'' has Satsuki and Fuuka, who both are shown as having this. Satsuki is only a bit below average, but lives in a WorldOfBuxom. 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. [[OffModel Usually]].

** This is PlayedForDrama in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry''. [[spoiler:WordOfGod has stated that the very well-endowed Shannon actually has FakeBoobs. 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 RaisedAsTheOppositeGender due to her sexual organs being badly damaged. Since [[ChivalrousPervert Battler]] (who Sayo is in love with) has often expressed his belief that BuxomIsBetter, 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.]]

** June from ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' 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 like well-endowed women like [[{{Gainaxing}} Lotus]].

** In ''VisualNovel/GrisaiaNoKajitsu'' 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 ''VisualNovel/GrisaiaNoRakuen'' 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.

** Added irony: Akiha and [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]] have the same bust size. Saber, however, is more likely to have her breasts ''over''stated. Rank B Charisma can go a long way.

* ''Franchise/{{Grisaia Series}}'':

* Kyoko from ''VisualNovel/{{Crescendo|EienDatoOmotteItaAnoKoro}}'' generally holds this attitude about herself. Granted, she's not small-chested at all, so it just ties into her [[HugeSchoolgirl other body issues]].

* Creator/KeyVisualArts games seem to like this.
** In her own H-scene, Ayu of ''VisualNovel/{{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; [[HiddenBuxom you just can't tell most of the time]] since she wears a baggy coat.
** In ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' [[TokenMiniMoe Kud]] gets angry when Haruka starts talking about how to get a bigger chest with Kurugaya.

* ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}''
** Akiha Tohno, the {{Tsundere}} [[TheOjou 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}} [[{{Flanderization}} took this aspect of her personality]] and [[MemeticMutation 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.
** Added irony: Akiha and [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]] have the same bust size. Saber, however, is more likely to have her breasts ''over''stated. Rank B Charisma can go a long way.
** Becomes an AscendedMeme in ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' 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.

* Kazuna in ''VisualNovel/KaraNoShoujo''. Reiji jokes that while her belly may be big due to pregnancy, her chest is as flat as ever.
* Sara Smith from ''[[VisualNovel/BlissStageLoveIsYourWeapon 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...

* Toko Fukawa from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc''. She'll occasionally bring up her small cup size as one of the many things [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex she accuses the others of looking down on her for.]] [[spoiler:Her SplitPersonality, Genocide Jack, is more about PetitePride and snarking at the more well-endowed Asahina whenever she can.]]
* In a hidden changing room scene in ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'', 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".
* [[DudeLooksLikeALady Tsukasa]] from ''VisualNovel/FragmentsNote'' acts like this often to reinforce his girly image, especially when arguing with Kazuha. Ayame, however, possesses this genuinely.

* ''VisualNovel/IfMyHeartHadWings'': 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.
* ''Franchise/{{Grisaia Series}}'':
** In ''VisualNovel/GrisaiaNoKajitsu'' 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.

* ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'':
** Rika Furude of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' berates herself for this, despite being twelve years old. [[spoiler:Rika's technically centuries old. The constant [[ResetButton 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 MagicalGirl. The first thing she does when she wakes up is feel her chest and make a sad expression.

* [[spoiler: Nayuta Kagura]], to the point where [[spoiler: 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, from ''VisualNovel/YuminaTheEthereal''.
