Minasaaan! Bomberman desuyo!!

Minasaaan! Bomberman desuyo!! (which roughly translates to "It's Bomberman, Everybody!") was a comedy adventure comic authored by Gen Sato (佐藤元) and serialised in Comic Bom Bom (コミックボンボン). It ran from September 1995 to June 1998, totalling 34 episodes.

A light-hearted adventure series with an ever-changing focus; while some instalments were based off new video game releases, most stories were original and put Bomber Kid (from Super Bomberman 3), Akabon and Honey in starring roles. The series largely takes place in Japan, featuring battles in notable locales and references to local pop culture, including fan-submitted Bombermen based off music idols of the late 90s.

自分の中で大好きだったゲームを漫画に出来たので非常に嬉しかったし、楽しかったけど…、担当がＴＶとかを見ない人でＣＭギャグとかを理解出来ない上、編集長が替わったときに「好み」の問題等で打ち切りになったので最終回まで描けなかったのがファンにも悪いし自分でも不満が残った作品になってしまった。

I was excited to make a game I'd loved into a manga, and had a lot of fun. However, my boss didn't watch TV so my pop culture gags flew over his head, and when the editor-in-chief was replaced, they didn't look fondly on the series and cancelled it. Fans were disappointed as I couldn't draw the final episode, and I had my own complaints about how it turned out.
