Pixiv revival

Comic BomBom (コミックボンボン, Komikku Bonbon) was a monthly Japanese children's manga magazine published by Kodansha and aimed at elementary school boys.[2][5] It was first published on October 15, 1981, and ceased publication in 2007. A web version of the magazine has been published on Pixiv Comic since the end of July 2017.

Similar to its rival magazine CoroCoro Comic, the magazine featured many tie-ins with game and toy manufacturers, but these became fewer and fewer toward the end of the publication period.
