Reading some comments before brought me to clear a few points—yes, this topic has become somewhat controversial.
Let's start off by some common questions asked by some readers-
Is Kyoko's bust really large?
- this detail is not really necessary in the story. Creating her, I never planned for her to go around seducing men nor do anything related with her bust. I never thought of her exact size to be honest.
Why was she portrayed to have one?
- was she? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember writing or emphasizing that in the book. If you are referring to the pictures used for her, well, I didn't have a choice. For some reason, most of the arts of Hamakaze from KanColle and 2B has a big bust. It'd be rare to find one that has a normal size.
Oh well, I never thought it'd be an issue and it's foolish to complain on what we have.
In my thoughts, Kyoko is not necessarily flat nor has large ones, but just has what's normal to have.
As I was creating Kyoko, I imagined her to be the type to be capable of fighting with her physical abilities. Imagine her, engaging in an intense fight carrying big watermelons around- the back pain, hassle and all of that.
As stated by a reader, the asian body is generally small. It'd be quite unrealistic for her to have such.
Well, aside from the point about her chest, a few have asked me some questions about her actual body.
Some said that they imagined Kyoko to be too masculine, and I can't blame them. ^^"
To describe her physique-
- Kyoko has lightly-toned abs. Meaning, it's not as prominent as men's. A man's body is most likely and is faster to develop abs compared to a woman's body.
- Kyoko has firm biceps and triceps, not exactly mascular.
- As for her thighs, it is naturally thick and firm. She doesn't have a thigh gap. Lmao, this is not a necessary detail but there ya go.
- Uh, her butt is firm. It is only natural for someone who regularly workouts. ^^"
- And her calf is chiseled but not big.
Man, why am I doing this? I find it awkward to go into details and I hope no one felt as uncomfortable as I was while discussing these details.
I hope you're satisfied with the answers. ^^"
