Does anyone know why girls in Anime/Manga do not wear bra?

[shootingfoul]

I have been having this question for a long long time, this had always been making me wonder. I am aware there are few anime/manga where girls do wear a bra, but those are the minority. It is bad for the boobs right? I even tried to google this question, but surprisingly, there's only 1 result of a question asked with no responses? Are people totally ignorant of the problem exist? or they actually all know the reason?

In a cartoon you can't draw everything so you only draw the important details. And since they are cartoons they don't need bras to support their breasts. You can simply draw the cartoon in such a way that it naturally supported without a bra.

Fan service. It bothers me too. Physical exercise without a bra can actually help cause breast cancer. Animators don't know how boobs work and look because they've never seen one irl

In most of the anime I've watched, the girls are wearing bras :o what anime have you been watching?

I watch anime/manga with a lot of fighting, for ones that has a higher age restriction, the character's clothes would get ripped and I see most of the time, no bra underneath... and my reaction would usually be... WTF.

Well, if they're higher restriction shines then maybe the women were designed not to have bras for fanservice. Or if it was a fantasy/sci-fi themed anime then the logistics of the real world don't really apply.
Or maybe the animators were just too lazy to add in bras.

Maybe its not considered normal to wear bras in Japan?

it is normal wherever place you go that has a city, it's just that the power of art can make it so there's no difference between a girl that's wearing a bra and a girl that's not wearing one
