Great chapter.
Imagine going to buy underwear with your bros and saying stuff like, "These boxers are SO cute!"
Its weird because bras at least serve a physical purpose on top of looking nice. Men's underwear is just meant to, you know, hide stuff. Unless... guys worry about their balls in this universe like women worry about their breasts here.
Although you CAN get fancy men's underwear, for the most part, guys really don't care what they're wearing as long as it's comfortable.
But hey, the women's underwear might be lame here but at least they're WAY cheaper.

I can't imagine Japan's department store male selection being that bad. I get they want to contrast but their going a bit over board here. If you're a guy who wants properly fitting clothing, there are store assistants. And I don't see bras being A-C and fitting well. For male underwear you just need to know your aprox waistline and the elastic band will give you 3-4 inches of play no problem.
@RandomFanguy If there were only like 2-3 basic styles and materiel choices that haven't changed in the past 10 years, I could see the cost of female underwear dropping down to those cheep prices.
In what kind of shit store did the author buy his underwear? Every store I know has a properly placed selection and a staff that cares, though I do admit I tend to buy my clothes in fancy places instead of the "this shit fell off a truck and we put it in some box" store this manga shows.
It also doesn't make sense that bras are treated like that because their shape and size is actually important while men underwear is less restrictive in that regard. It's not about gender-focused morality, it's about health and girls not mutilating their boobs with the wrong bra.
I understand what the author was going for but I feel like he took it a little too far this time. Though I did laugh at the "let's go buy underwear" bit.
Yeah... I think the bras, at least, not being potentially fitted is a serious oversight. My ex-girlfriend had to get custom-fitted ones because of how big she was (somewhere around H or I cup), since stores generally don't carry that big. Men don't have an equivalent situation, far as I'm aware. This scenario feels really poorly conceived and, as usual with Amahara, ill-informed.I don't buy it. Even if the gender roles were reversed, women would still need many different sizes of bras. They probably would all just be boring and functional as opposed to cute and frilly. Function over form. The reason why male underwear can be sold in bulk is because as long as you get the waistband correct, it fits. The whole purpose of a bra is to support those lumps of fat on a girl's chest which is why they are so varied. The wrong fit makes them not work at all.
