Owarai Bakudan Super Bomberman

Title (Japanese)

おわらいばくだん スーパーボンバーマン
Owarai Bakudan Super Bomberman

Owarai Bakudan Super Bomberman (which roughly translates to "Comical Dynamite Super Bomberman") was a manga authored by Takeshi Tamai (玉井たけし) and published in monthly children's magazines Shogaku Ichinensei (小学一年生, literally "First Grade Elementary Student") from May 1995 [src] to March 1998 [src] and Shogaku Ninensei (小学二年生, "Second Grade Elementary Student") from April 1996 [src] to March 1998 [src].

The two magazines ran different strips targeted towards different age groups: Shogaku Ichinensei presented full-colour pages with puzzles such as spot-the-difference, maze games and more, as well as three or four-panel manga with a quiz or puzzle related to its action. Shogaku Ninensei's manga was a straight-forward gag strip, featuring simple stories and characters from the latest game releases.

The series was partially collected in three books without the Owarai Bakudan banner, and sometimes featuring colourised versions of previously black-and-white comics.
