I see what you mean, Saya; and it's too bad that the artist had to do that. Many female characters in manga/anime have absurd, almost laughable, body proportions. Other examples that come to my mind would include anything by the artist behind "Battle Arena Toshinden" and "Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer". Balance and restraint are essential elements of any kind of beauty. I can perfectly understand stylizing a character in such a way that makes her more interesting or emphasizes her more distinctive traits, but the "colossal chest thing" seems like an insult to female beauty to me. On the other hand, I find Amano Yoshitaka's female character designs to be extremely beautiful because of their grace, elegance, and femininity.
