Its main target is elementary school aged boys and a new issue is released on the 15th of the month. Each issue has 700+ pages, with 80 of them being full-color advertisements. Similar to its rival CoroCoro Comic, it features tie-ins with game makers and toy makers but recently has less of that.

[edit] History

The first issue was published in 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 Bom Bom like the SD Gundam series, Rockman series and Medarot series, just to name a few.

In the January 2006 issue, Comic Bom Bom 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 will end at the close of 2007. It will be replaced by Gekkan Shonen Rival.[1]
