was a monthly Japanese manga magazine published by Kodansha and targeted at elementary school boys.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 J-Magazine.or.jp on ''Comic BomBom'' )〕 Each issue had 700+ pages, with 80 of them being full-color advertisements. Similar to its rival ''CoroCoro Comic'', it featured tie-ins with game makers and toy makers but toward the end of its run had less of that. == History == The first issue was published on October 15, 1981. ''Mobile Suit Gundam'' was extremely popular at that time. Although the ''Gundam'' boom is centered at the higher age group, the fire slowly spread to the lower age group in the form of gunpla and thus it was decided to mainly publish gunpla content. Many popular series were published in ''Comic BomBom'' like the ''SD Gundam'' series, ''Rockman'' series and ''Medarot'' series, just to name a few. In September 1996, ''Comic BomBom''s popularity decline started once the ''Pokémon'' Boom began. ''CoroCoro Comic'' began to run manga based on popular franchises, such as ''Mushiking'', ''Pokémon'', and ''Beyblade''. Meanwhile, ''BomBom'' stuck with ''Gundam'' and original manga. ''BomBom'' then fell into its Dark Age, with ''King of Bandit Jing'' being its most popular manga running. In June 1997, ''Comic BomBom'' skyrocketed out of nowhere and began to rise to its Golden Age, due to the popularity of ''BomBom''s new ''Medarot'' and ''Cyborg Kuro-chan'' manga. As years flew by, ''BomBom'' began to run more original manga than before. The magazine began to include small prizes in every issue. At one point, ''Comic BomBom''s sales began to increase higher than the sales of ''CoroCoro Comic''. But in 2005, sales and popularity began to decline again. In the January 2006 issue, ''Comic BomBom'' underwent a renewal. It features a revamped logo and a size increase from A5 to B5. The price remains at 480yen. Due to declining sales, the title ended in December 2007 and was replaced by ''Shōnen Rival''.〔(Yomiuri Online ) Retrieved 2007-8-15. 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Comic BomBom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
