Well FTR, Yamato is not exactly THAT flat; she only wears pads bcoz her imouto is leagues bustier.
Case in point: her appearances in Episode 8 of the Anime, AND her Summer 2016 Art.
Did you learn nothing from Yamato calendar art and her summer CG ? Yamato have breast size as big as her sister for what in the world she need to use padding to match her sister size ? they look about same m8
I really hate this joke about yamato use that shell for padding did this artist learn nothing ?
I don't know why he usually doesn't draw girls bigger than an AA- cup. Maybe he just plain doesn't feel like it, or maybe he's a bit of a feminist and isn't keen on anime girls being treated as sex objects. In any case, it's his artistic license to draw how he wants to draw, and anyone who doesn't like it can piss up a rope.

Or maybe they take a bit more effort to get right and he doesn't want to interrupt his flow on what he sees as less significant details. It's all about the headgear after all.

You could just ask! @pellaeon Tell us your secrets, would you kindly?
My reputation as "that guy who draws every female character as flat" started in 2001 when I was taking a Japanese class in college. I was drawing pictures of "King of Fighters" characters for a presentation when I realized that Mai Shiranui might be too lewd for the audience. My roommate at the time was like "Blasphemy! You can't censor Mai!", but it didn't stop me from editing Mai's body and outfit to be more modest.
The label of "the Flat Mai guy" ended up sticking, even when I gave up fighting games for Magic the Gathering, then Toho Project, and now KanColle. Flat Mai was followed by Flat Nissa, Flat Udonge, and Flat Iowa. I keep drawing flat-chested versions of popular characters because it's become as much part of the House of Sixten reputation as the frog icon, horrible puns, and preachy storytelling.
Some of those who follow my work have asked me if this relentless devotion to flatness is a sign that I am a lolicon.
I would not cultivate a reputation as a flat-chest illustrator if I didn't prefer flat. Looking at my art style, pixiv bookmarks and twitter follows, I guess I am a lolicon, albeit a fairly tame kind. But I appreciate the beauty of all breast sizes from Ryujo to Chokai, and as an art school graduate I can and will draw all sizes. And looking at the three women I have actually dated, I'm not a lolicon when it comes to real life. I wouldn't date a woman who appeared to be 10 years old even if she was totally legal.

I wonder if there's a bit of "grass is always greener" going on when it comes to artist preferred bust sizes in Japan and the US. In the US, flat is rare and large breasts are so common that they aren't special anymore. In Japan, the opposite is true. (Or so I've been lead to believe.)

Well, I guess I was partly right, in that you are unwilling to draw fap fodder.
Nothing wrong with sacrificing "plot" for the sake of actual plot, of course. You're not the first artist to do so, and you almost certainly will not be the last.
