Comic BomBom (コミックボンボン Komikku Bonbon?) was a monthly Japanese manga magazine published by Kodansha and targeted at elementary school boys.[1] 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 [link]

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 BonBon like the SD Gundam series, Rockman series and Medarot series, just to name a few.

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, BonBon stuck with Gundam and original manga. BonBon then fell into its Dark Age, with King of Bandit Jing being its most popular manga running.

Comic BomBom then 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, BonBon 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 late 2007 and was replaced by Shōnen Rival.[2]

Bom Bom

by: Kid Ink

I know you see me sitting on the cloud high
Fresh up like the kitchen
Broke that bitch right up on that counter top
Me and mary jane, bloody mary's in the mirror
Say my name three times, I'll be there with that killer
Can you smell what we smoking on
Let me break it down, nugget size of a poke-ball
Doctor green come
Swear just one pick up at have your finger
Feeling like the back side of a sticker
Only rolling bom bom, need a swisher
Shawty says she got a pom pom
She ain't right now, it don't matter to me
No substraction, tell 'em I'ma add it baby, ugh!
It feels like I'm in a daze, my mind in a haze
You can see it in my ways ugh
But we do this everyday, anybody got a problem wit it
You know what I'm saying agh
Roll up roll up roll up roll up roll up
Get right to it, you ain't even gotta ask
You know what the fuck I'm doing
I roll it like a diploma, high up
Trying not to fall in a kush coma
Yeah
Second hand smoke, just from the aroma
Yeah!
Smell that loud niggas telling me to tone it down
Ugh got a nigga barely moving
Stoned like I've been eye fucking with madusa
But it make your blunt look skinny like a coota
We blowing up bombs
So just relax, sit back and cuff your time
You're looking for the light, I got it like tron
Ain't nobody else on the level that I'm on
It feels like I'm in a daze, my mind in a haze
You can see it in my ways, ugh
But we do this everyday, anybody got a problem wit it
You know what I'm saying agh
Roll up roll up roll up roll up roll up
Get right to it, you ain't even gotta ask
