The following excerpt is but one example among millions worldwide of what occurred on September 9, 20XX
Keith Howard, 25-years old, single, and an intern at large company based out of New York City, stared at the clock.
{12:05 PM}
Work was supposed to have started at 8:30 AM like always, and yet, in an office that was nothing but ladies under 35 except for him (something he'd initially been thrilled about) today had been hell.
How the hell had an office of a dozen people (not counting himself) all called in sick for work on the same day?! That was like something out of one of those office sitcoms...
And to clarify- it wasn't the company that had 13 people. No, that was just the number of people in his office alone. There were over 1000 thousand people at his company- nearly 2/3 of them were women, and every single one of those women had called in sick today!
If it was supposed to be someone's idea of a prank, it hadn't been funny, because he'd spent the last three and a half hours manning the phones and answering emails all on his own, and the only explanation he'd gotten from any of his coworkers (the one's who'd actually answered his frantic phone calls about where the hell everyone was, the best he'd gotten was 'it's a personal issue, can't explain it!' Or some variant of that from the three coworkers who had answered his calls.
The only saving grace to today was that business had been on the slow side. Strangely, it was like every female sales rep his office worked with had just not bothered showing up for work.
Weird, it was almost like other companies were having the same issue- as the day went on, he checked the news periodically on his phone.
It seemed like, for some reason, all over the country most workplaces- even important places like schools and hospitals- were reporting that none of there female employees had shown up for work!
What on Earth could cause every woman in the United States to take a sick day?
Unknown to Keith, but very much related to this strange occurrence, Ama*on and other online retailers would record record-breaking profits for the rest of the month, for custom-made (and custom-sized) bras of all things! Shirts, women's blouses, and all manner of torso garments would also remain incredibly popular items to order throughout the month of September- all in these comically huge sizes (almost novelty-sized, in some cases!)

Back to the present with Shujin
"So, uh... I'm going to hazard a guess that the fact that school has been canceled for over a week has something to do with my wish?"
(((Yeah, that's one way to put it.)))
Whoops.
Yeah, you'd kind of thrown the whole world for a loop. It had been seven days since the incident, and school had been canceled, most news channels were scrambling to cover anything without any of the anchorwomen (or any female staff), although here in Japan it had been pretty funny watching interns, camera operators, and other people decidely without anchor training trying to read the news.
It was like watching an amateur high-school paper broadcasting news, except that this was national or local televised news, and not something being done in someone's garage.
It had taken two full days before reports had started coming in about the 'Global Macromastia Incident' or, GMI as your wish was coming to be known as, had been made public.
Two days of every woman on the planet practically shutting themselves inside their homes out of fear, shame, and mortification... fortunately, all of that faded somewhat (though not completely) as each and every woman realized this humiliation was shared with every other woman, and was not happening to them alone.
Pretty much all work across the world had taken a week-long hiatus. Some countries were planning a full month of allowing women to stay home and 'adjust' to the enormous amount of new mass their bodies possessed, but here in Japan things were expected to return to normal by the end of this second week.
Just seven days to go before you got to truly start your romcom anime life!
You weren't counting the last seven days, because you'd either been inside playing video games or reading manga, or wandering around a town that was half empty (because all of the women refused to leave their houses.)
What happens next?
1) Timeskip to the end of the week. The mandatory 'return to work/school' order has been issued by the government, as enough time has passed for the 'affected' to rebuild their wardrobes has passed.
2) The next day, you run into one of the heroines (canon or crossover) in the park- looks like someone needed some fresh air.
3) Three days later, you see one of the heroines (canon or crossover) out and about in town, nervously trying out her new clothes.
