Overview
Hestia’s Boob String refers to a series of online discussions based around the peculiar character design of the character of Hestia, from the Anime and Light Novel series Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?, also known as DanMachi. Due to the odd nature of the design, a number of discussions were spawned by fas of the series, questioning whether the design could work in real life.
Background
Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon first began as a series of Light Novels, beginning circulation in 2013, and later adapted into an anime by studio J.C. Staff, first airing on April 3, 2015. The series follows adventurer Bell Cranel, a young boy who attempts to explore the mysterious Dungeon, so that he can pick up girls, despite the fact it is usually him who ends up requiring assistance. He is accompanied by Hestia, a girl in charge of watching over Bell in his attempts to become an adventurer, who is notable for her use of a blue ribbon, which she hangs over her arms in an attempt to help support her breasts.
On April 8, 2015, Japanese twitter user @aiya23mt08cos[1] posted her attempt to replicate the string, coming to the conclusion that the string would not work. As of April 17, the tweet has over 6,000 retweets and over 4,000 favourites.
