As someone with K-cups, which really aren’t that big irl, H-cups (Alya’s size) are definitely smaller and imo, just on the larger side of average. There is a wider range of cup sizes we women have than just A-DD. It goes up to Z, and H is only the eighth letter of the alphabet. I could go on and on about how like 80% of women are sized wrong, which contributes to people thinking that anything above a D is “huge”.
A lot of people think that Alya’s anime design nerfed her bust and are disappointed about that, which it did, but not as much as people think: in reality her size isn’t as big as most people think she is. She’s usually portrayed as smaller than Masha and about this medium-large size, as shown in the two images I posted.
“B-but the Volume 11 cover!! She’s really big there, no??”
Her bust is just VERY exaggerated there, imo. That’s ONE out of many illustrations. In other drawings from the light novel, she’s portrayed as big, but not THAT big. In fact, Masha’s actually bigger in the v12 cover, but it’s not apparent since she’s completely covered.
“But Masachika describes her as huge!”
She’s still smaller than Masha canonically. And the V11 dress emphasizes her bust, making it look bigger than it actually is.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk. I hope to clear up misconceptions about bust sizes and the fact people think anything above a D is huge.
