@Railbreaker & Soylent Orange - They, and by 'they' I mean the original author and the anime series, use "tits" themselves. It's funny, but the various words for the chest in Japanese just happen to work out to be one of those terms that have almost exactly the same equivalent in english.

Mune = Breast(s). To the same degree that it's gender neutral in both languages. Like even in english a male could refer to that area as just his breast.

Oppai = Boobs/boobies. With the same kind of goofy, childish, irreverence denoted by the word in english.

Chichi = Tits. With the same kind of dirty, raunchy, sexual connotation the english word implies. This is the word that Kazefusa uses for herself for example.

Etc. Etc.
