Breast Expansion

Overview

Breast Expansion is the idea of unnaturally rapid breast growth in women, in some cases going from a flat chest to very big boobs in a matter of seconds. In entertainment media, this is usually used for either comical or sexual purposes or in some cases is simply part of a transformation and is given much less focus.

Anime & Manga

Chifusa Manyuu's increasing bust

Usually used as comic relief in various anime and manga franchises, Breast Expansion typically happens to one or more unsuspecting female characters with little or no warning, usually resulting in hilarity at the expense of the characters involved.

Depending on the anime/manga, the expansion of the female character in question's breasts can have several different results, anywhere from using their new-found bust size in order to attract the attention of male characters to the totally insane result of being carried away high into the skies due to their "ballooning" busts.

During accelerated breast growth, characters generally react in one of two ways, either freaking out in a most spectacular fashion, or finding the growth stimulating and pleasurable. For the most part, this depends on whether the concept is being used comically or sexually.

Notable Examples

• Manyuu Hikenchou literally revolves around this concept. Chifusa has the ability to "steal" the breasts of other women, adding their volume to her own.

Hentai

Breast Expansion also occurs in a number of hentai franchises, but it typically happens for different reasons and results in different outcomes when it does take place. Since hentai is meant for a mature audience, the instances of Breast Expansion taking place usually occur in one of the following ways:

• Due to pregnancy (expansion in part of breast milk production)
• Due to "magic" (such as a wish coming true, finding a magical item that grants the character larger breasts, etc.)
• Due to "science" (seen in several franchises in which breast sizes are increased by ingesting/being injected with something that promotes growth)
• Due to a specific factor with the female character's body (usually when said character is aroused)
