Kodansha announced on Tuesday that it would suspend its publication of Comic Bom Bom, a monthly cartoon magazine for elementary school students.
Since Comic Bom Bom was first published in 1981, the magazine has carried popular cartoons such as "SD Gundam." But the magazine's circulation has been declining lately as its rival monthly cartoon magazine published by Shogakukan dominates the market.
The December edition, released in November, will be the final edition of Comic Bom Bom. Kodansha will begin publishing a new cartoon magazine for junior high school students early next year. (Mainichi)
