In US measurments a 4-inch difference is usually a D-cup.

And as for that picture, the supposed B-cup, is more of a real life DD, or even a little more. Hard to tell there. Cups are exaggerated in anime, B/C is bacially normal, with D's being assigned to the larger girls, and higher cups as the breasts go up, regardless of the actual visual size of them. It comes down to the artist either not knowing or not caring abotu the real size of a gilr and jsut throwing out an arbitrary letter that sounds good, or in the case of larger girls, one that sounds impressivly big.

That makes sense really. Because the supposed B-cup looks/sounds small to me if it were a real life one, but if you say it's more of a real life DD, then in real life I'd go damn thats big. I suppose that's sort of the feeling I sometimes get when I see real breast, I think damn it's small, but it's actually quite big. So even in terms of anime if they were to say like 100 inches, it could be an actual 80 inches for it's real life counterpart.
Guess it's really like you said, just so it sounds impressively big. But then that Japanese gravure Idol Fuko with her P-cup would still bug me, I mean what's that supposed to mean in inches. Wish we'd all just stick to inches. never mind the letters
