Could do with a better image: She Is All Grown Up

I like them both. The first is more succinct, but the second shows more how she's...er...really grown up.

I like the 3-frame version for both extra demonstrativeness and Rule of Funny.

I'd call for a crowner, but...those two are the only suggestions that have been any good, and a two-option crowner is just stupid.

Wait for more suggestions, perhaps? Here's some pictures of the original girl in the page image, looking closer to being the same human being.

Ugh, it's awful going through GIS for this. Strict search does nothing.

I think a real person would be better to show this trope. Animated women (especially in anime) tend to look really young, this makes it harder to see the difference.

An F-cup sized difference is pretty hard to miss. Plus the proportions of the limbs and head to the torso are completely different, and none of the images are in Super-Deformed style.

But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.

^^^Okay, I honestly cannot tell she's a different age in any of those.

^^Well, I think the B Gata H Kei pic works by showing her being really young.

[up] It helps that it also shows the boy young and old.

We don't need the boob close-up, and the comparison between the all-grown-up girl and Random Other Girl Who Wasn't In The First Picture is irrelevant anyway.

We're bringing to the table a comparison pic of a guy and a girl again? After the one of Tokimeki Memorial I proposed was rejected?

Honestly, I don't see any difference between the two. Both of them show the two characters visibly grown up. And IMO, the last Tokimemo comparison pic I proposed was of better quality than the B Gata H Kei one.

The only way the B Gata H Kei could be superior, is by using the 3-frame one with the boobs size. Without it, the pics are the same.

We really should search for a high quality of the Chi-Chi manga panel instead. If needed, I'll go buy a cheap used copy of Volume 15 next week, scan it, and edit it to get rid of the French script and add the English one instead.

Giving cookies counts as showing at least some Romantic Interest Or atleast great friendship, while yours is just someone sitting on a train in the second pic.

(I could get the manga panel where he Thought Bubbles that she is Just A Friend but admits that he has Wanked off while imaging her..)

Don't you see them visibly blushing and being all timid at each other, in the bus?

^^^^Your picture looks like the difference between 6- and 10-year-olds to me. The newer one looks like the difference between 4- and 16-year-olds to me.

Shit, triple ninja'd.

^^ No, the girl too. In fact, she's the more visibly blushing of the two, if you're asking me.

^ Even if I wasn't knowledgable about the series, I would see at least a 6 and 15 years old. In anyway, the age difference is visible, and that's what counts for the trope.

But once again, I'm going to search for the Chi-Chi pic in high quality. That's the one that will make everyone happy for the reactions I've seen.

If we're going with the animated one, I think losing the third panel is better. Brevity Is Wit, and definitely when brevity means losing a superfluous, randomly naughty Show, Don't Tell violation.

^^I'm pretty sure it requires the girl to look like she's hit puberty.

And she looks like it, IMO. Again, from a fair and unbiased point of view.

Your view isn't more "fair and unbiased" than mine just because you said it is.

If there's gonna be this much bickering, perhaps a crowner is in fact in order.

^^^ And that's why I said let's go with a third option that'll make everyone happy.

^^ Before we do that, please gimme some time so I can find a better quality pic of the Dragon Ball panel.

All right; once you get your Dragon Ball example, I'll make the crowner.

What... spending money just so you can put a pic up on TV Tropes? ummm new entry for TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life?

Really don't bother going THAT far for just a pic. We can just get the crowner started now with what we got.

(Sorry if that came out to be rude)
