Comic BomBom ( Japanese コ ミ ッ ク ボ ン ボ ン , Komikku Bonbon ) was a Japanese manga magazine that was aimed at children and therefore belongs to the Kodomo category. It was published monthly by Kōdansha from 1981 and was for a long time the main competitor of the CoroCoro comic, which was aimed at the same target group .
The magazine often contained series from the Gundam franchise, as well as other manga related to toy and computer game series. In 1991 Comic BomBom sold 750,000 copies. By 2006 that number had dropped to 98,000 and when it was discontinued for lack of sales in December 2007 it was 50,000. As a successor was started in April 2008 Monthly Shōnen Rival , some of the series from Comic BomBom were continued in the magazines Magazine Special and Terebi Magazine .
On July 21, 2017, the brand was revived as an online manga magazine on the Pixiv platform and the YouTube channel Bombom TV was set up.
