History Main / BustContrastDuo

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', we have the flat-chested Rukia Kuchiki (who's while generally nice, can be very strict and harsh sometimes) and the much more well-endowed Orihime Inoue, who's one of the nicest characters InUniverse. Another known example is given by Sui Feng (flat and mean) and Yoruichi Shihouin (has a bigger chest and is considerably nicer).

-->''This is Max. She's got brown hair and she's got big boobs. And this is Caroline. She's got blonde hair and she's got small boobs. Even though they have their differences and they've got different sized boobs and different colored hair, they manage to work out their differences and become best friends or something. It's a comedic premise that you've seen before. And it's '''funny'''. It '''works'''.''

An AlwaysFemale trope. Between two close female characters, one tends to be [[{{Tsundere}} borderline-violent]], and, while not necessarily flat, [[ACupAngst anxious about that aspect of her figure]]. The other, meanwhile, tends to be [[NiceGirl nicer, gentler, and more wholesome]], while at the same time being far more... [[BuxomIsBetter filled out]].

Related to RedOniBlueOni ([[{{Metaphorgotten}} but with boobs]]), BettyAndVeronica (when they have a common LoveInterest), and YuriGenre (where the main girls and OfficialCouple have this trope applied.) See also LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine, where the contrast is in the general outfit instead the cup; both ACupAngst and BuxomIsBetter, the main reason why these girls contrast; BustChart, where clear comparisions between cups are made; and HairContrastDuo, where the contrast depends of the hair color, sometimes overlapping this trope (where usually the slender girl has a light hair color and the busty one has a darker color). Contrast OnlyOneFemaleMold.

* The two main female characters of ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' are Suzi "Zii" Nielsen and Desiree [="DiDi"=] Chastel, who share a midtown apartment. Zii is a TankTopTomboy that borders on TheLadette, who's headstrong and sexually forward. [=DiDi=] is the StatuesqueStunner with prominent love-pillows, who's an uninhibited HelloNurse with both naivety and scruples.

* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', though they don't socialise much, Daria and Jane are very noticably flatter than [[GagBoobs Brittany]] and Quinn is bustier than her older sister.

* In the "[[CapcomSequelStagnation updates]]" of ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive5'', some of the new characters are the duo of Marie Rose and Honoka, both close [[FriendlyRival friends and rivals]]. Marie Rose is the shortest of the fighters in the game (and maybe the whole franchise) and uses her charms as a petite girl for her own advantage. Honoka instead is an InnocentFanserviceGirl who's very ditzy but with a great fighting potential. Marie Rose possesses the smallest bust out of all the female characters in the series, a direct contrast to Honoka who possesses the largest bust (even rivalizing Helena's and Christie's), which was even the subject of a pun in their Japanese tag team intro.

* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': The first series gives us the low-grade tsundere primary love interest Asuna, who has a normal bust in general. Later in the series appears Sinon, a famous sniper who has no chest compared with Asuna, and has tsundere tendencies.
** And between them, we got Leafa, a MasterSwordswoman LittleSisterHeroine whose breasts can eat the two above for breakfast.

* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': The two closest girls to Shirou in his school are Rin, the confident and {{Tsundere}} small-chested girl and Sakura, his ''[[SenpaiKouhai kouhai]]'', who (beyond her meekness and other issues) is a gentle and caring girl who's bustier than Rin.

** Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere is the TinyTyrannicalTsundere and the abusive [[BettyAndVeronica Veronica to the buxom Siesta's Betty]].
** Also seen in the series with the LovableAlphaBitch Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst, who has a big bust, and ReiAyanamiExpy BadassBookworm Tabitha aka Charlotte Helene Orleans de Gallia, who's so flat as Louise.
** Later also seen by the cute (and ''bustier'') [[HalfHumanHybrid half-elf]] Tiffania Westwood Tudor de Albion that even makes Siesta seems slender as Louise, as well becoming the ThirdOptionLoveInterest for Saito Hiraga.

* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', though they don't socialise much, Daria and Jane are very noticably flatter than [[GagBoobs Brittany]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' has the friendship between Emp, who is very voluptuous in all parts and an AllLovingHero, and Ninjette, who is skinny and a DeadpanSnarker, alcoholic, near-villain.

* ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'' has General Halftrack's office staffed by Miss Blips and Miss Buxley. Blips came first, and is a DeadpanSnarker and almost HypercompetentSidekick to the aged general. Blips has the body shape of a file cabinet with a head, and is often treated as such. Miss Buxley appeared later on, as a civilian liaison, being a HelloNurse with AllTheBoysWantHer properties. Buxley has an ImpossibleHourglassFigure that used to rev the general's engine until his battleax wife shut him down. When paired with Blips, these two women are envious of one another: Blips envies Buxley's "boy magnets," while Buxley longs to be unencumbered by drooling wolves the way Blips is.

* The two female employees at ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati'' are Jennifer Marlow and Bailey Quarters. Jennifer is a StatuesqueStunner that wears form-fitting outfits that accentuate her feminine curves. She's also the highest-paid employee on staff. Then there's Bailey, the mousey intern who can't compete with Jennifer, so she goes along as the {{Ladette}} and PluckyOfficeGirl.
* This trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in an episode of ''Series/SamAndCat'' where Cat impersonates Sam and must stuff oranges down her bra to pull off the deception. The show inverts the stereotype, however. While Sam is bustier, she is the more abrasive and rude of the pair, whereas Cat is more sweet and naive. In her [[Series/{{Victorious}} original show]] Cat was shown to have an OddFriendship with [[AlphaBitch Jade]], who had several jokes made about her bust size.

* In ''Anime/YuruYuri'' the BelligerentSexualTension StudentCouncil Duo [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} Sakurako]] and [[GagBoobs Himawari]] are always together and while {{Tsundere}} toward each other and Himawari is prone to fights they are actually [[LesYay more than]] great friends. (which is not lost on the rest of the cast)

* Kaguya from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' is on the petite side and is a hybrid of a DefrostingIceQueen and a {{Tsundere}}. Meanwhile, her "[[WithFriendsLikeThese best friend]]" Fujiwara has GagBoobs and is a [[GenkiGirl bubbly]] {{Cloudcukoolander}}.

* In ''Anime/YuruYuri'' the BelligerentSexualTension StudentCouncil Duo [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} Himawari]] and [[GagBoobs Sakurako]] are always together and while {{Tsundere}} toward each other and Himawari is prone to fights they are actually [[LesYay more than]] great friends. (which is not lost on the rest of the cast)

* The ''VideoGame/Neptunia'' series has [[UsefulNotes/Xbox360 Vert]] and [[UsefulNotes/NintendoWii Blanc]] share this dynamic, despite a lack of romantic interests. Vert has the biggest bust in the game ([[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory most of the time]]) and is [[BigBreastPride extremely proud of that fact]]. Blanc, on the other hand, is tiny in every respect, and possesses both ACupAngst and a HairTriggerTemper. Vert is no saint and Blanc has her own redeeming features, but even the other characters know exactly how every discussion about breasts is going to go.

* This trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in an episode of ''Series/SamAndCat'' where Cat impersonates Sam and must stuff oranges down her bra to pull off the deception. The show inverts the stereotype, however. While Sam is bustier, she is the more abrasive and rude of the pair, whereas Cat is more sweet and naive.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''Anime/LuckyStar'': HugeSchoolgirl Minori is flat as a frying pan and has a bad case of ACupAngst. Her best friend Yutaka is tiny and also flat-chested. However, Yutaka still has good chances of filling out a bit, which causes Minori no end of (well-hidden) pain. Yutaka, in turn, admires tall girls like Minori, hitting her pet peeve for all it's worth.

An AlwaysFemale trope. Of the two main {{love interest}}s, one tends to be [[{{Tsundere}} borderline-violent]], and, while not necessarily flat, [[ACupAngst anxious about that aspect of her figure]]. The other, meanwhile, tends to be [[YamatoNadeshiko nicer, gentler, and more wholesome]], while at the same time being far more... [[BuxomIsBetter filled out]].
