I can see what you are saying with some anime and manga and it's an interesting subject.

Do you know how far back the trend goes in Japanese anime and manga? I wonder if it's related to Hollywood (Los Angeles) having a big influence on the idea of the "ideal woman" worldwide. Is the "western body style" in manga only a post WWII phenomenon?
