History Manga / CmonDigimon

* ArtEvolution / OffModel: At the time of the manga's writing, most designs for Digimon weren't well-defined or known. As such, the mangaka just interpreted them his way based on the V-Pets, so most Digimon featured don't look all that much like their appearances in other material, even that written just a year later.

* OneSteveLimit: Greymon's change in appearance can be chalked up to ArtEvolution; others, not so much. Another species called Deathmon shows up in ''V-Tamer 01'', another [=DeathMeramon=] debuts in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', and another Damemon in ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars'', all of which are clearly different monster species entirely. Fans usually refer to the Digimon from this manga by their names from the manga's Italian translation to avoid confusion (so Bun is often called Bunomon), and English dub material renamed the ''V-Tamer 01'' Deathmon to Ghoulmon and the ''Adventure'' [=DeathMeramon=] to [=SkullMeramon=]. On the other hand, none of the aforementioned Digimon from this manga ever showed up in anything else, so it's not as much of an issue as it could've been.

* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler: Kentaro pretends to not like animals or {{Mons}} because his pet dog died in a fire while rescuing him.]]

* BadassAdorable: Bun.

''C'mon Digimon'', penned by Hiroshi Izawa and released in mid-1997 shortly before the debut of its first virtual pet, was a "beta version" of ''Manga/DigimonVTamer01'' released as a bonus chapter in its second volume.

''C'mon Digimon'' was not just the first manga adaptation of the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' franchise, but also the very first adaptation thereof, period. Penned by Hiroshi Izawa and released in mid-1997 shortly before the debut of its first virtual pet, it's little-known and is only a one-shot manga but its influence, even unknowingly, can be felt in pretty much every other ''Digimon'' adaptation since.

* [[AllAnimalsAreDogs All Mons Are Dogs]]: Bun has the personality of a puppy.

* {{Expy}}: This manga is confirmed to have later influenced ''Manga/{{Digimon V-Tamer 01}}'', and by extension everything else ''Digimon'' ever. Taichi Yagami ([[Anime/DigimonAdventure both of him]]) was directly inspired by Kentaro, Shinichiro resembles Neo Saiba (and by extension [[Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersLeapingThroughTime Ryouma Mogami]] by way of recursive expies), and Makoto resembles [[Anime/DigimonTamers Kenta Kitagawa]] (and also [[NamesTheSame shares a name]] with a different ''Tamers'' character). Additionally, this manga's interpretation of Greymon's appearance was adapted into the Veedramon species.

* BeamingGrin: Bun's basic weapon.

* SequelEscalation: [=MetalGreymon=] was presented as the ultimate Digimon in this manga; at the time it was, being one of only three Perfect-level Digimon. Even a little over a year later there were not only dozens of Perfect-level Digimon and thus dozens of comparable strength to [=MetalGreymon=], but an entire higher level had been introduced in the form of the Ultimate[[hottip:*:dubbed as Mega; not to be confused with the dub Ultimate level, which is Perfect]] level. These days? We're talking hundreds upon hundreds of Digimon as powerful or stronger than [=MetalGreymon=], and occasionally a level [[UpToEleven beyond Ultimate]] crops up.

!!''Manga/CMonDigimon'' contains examples of:

* {{Jerkass}}: Shinichiro's favorite pastime is [[CurbStompBattle curbstomping]] the Digimon of other kids and then smashing the V-Pets to pieces, quickly cementing him as this. If the fact that he actually does research on his targets' personal lives just to find the best ways to torment them [[spoiler: (Notably, he wants to [[KillItWithFire have Meramon kill Bun]] to rub in the fact that Kentaro's pet dog died in a fire when he was little)]] is anything to go by, he might even be classified as [[PsychopathicManchild something]] [[CompleteMonster worse]].

* SeriousBusiness: Shinichiro puts a [[YuGiOh Kaibaesque]] disturbing level of serious business into his V-Pet battles; he even specifically researches all of his targets!

* Foreshadowing: This manga is notable for previewing much of what the franchise is known for (a large focus on the connection between kids and their mon's, kids with traumatizing pasts whose (partner's) strength literally increases by [[CharacterDevelopment overcoming the resulting personal issues]], developed storytelling capabilities, etc.) in just a few pages.

The very first manga in the {{Digimon}} franchise, with a character that lent into the design of Taichi and old Digimon designs.

Shinichiro Josaki is the privileged son of Josaki Electronicals owner. He defeats his opponents with Deathmon and likes to rub his victory in by [[KickTheDog crushing the V-Pets under foot]].

Meanwhile, after a friendly V-Pet battle, Makoto Abe notices Kentaro Kamon, who became known for getting into a fight with some high schoolers. Following him, Makoto discovers he picked up a V-Pet and uses a machine to bring Bun the Bunomon to life. Not happy in being strong-armed into owning Bun, Kentaro intends to hand him back to Makoto. However, Makato has been kidnapped by Shinichiro, who defeats Greymon and, after revealing he researches his opponents creepily, [[MoralEventHorizon destroys the V-Pet.]] Furious, Kentaro swears to defeat him with Bun in ten days time.

Though a one-shot, ''C'mon Digimon'' features character development for the main characters, possibly foreshadowing the storytelling capabilities of future iterations. Reading this is recommended

* BadassAdorable: Bun
* BeamingGrin: Bun's basic weapon
* CallingYourAttacks: One of the few adaptations where Digimon don't do this. You only know an attack's name if it was specifically order by the Digimon's owner, [[{{Pokemon}} like those adaptations.]]

* {{Expy}}: This manga later influenced {{DigimonV-Tamer01}}. Kentarou inspired the design of Taichi Yagami, Greymon's appearance (The author had no clue of many of the Digimon's designs) resembles Zeromaru, and Shinichiro resembles a certain antagonistic WhiteHairedPrettyBoy. Makoto resembles a supporting character from ''Tamers''.
* GlitchCharacter: Bun, possibly

* MorphicResonance: Deathmon's face is present to some degree in every form taken
* MythologyGag: If you ever questioned why it's so common to see the leads partnered to a lizard and a canine in later adaptations you'll get your answer here.
* OneSteveLimit: Greymon's change in appearance can be chalked up to ArtEvolution but another Deathmon shows up in ''V-Tamer 01'' and another Damemon in ''Xros Wars'', both of which are clearly different monsters. Fans usually refer to the digimon from this one shot by their Italian names to avoid confusion while the English dub renamed the new Deathmon
* SequelEscalation: Metal Greymon was presented as the ultimate digimon in this series and at the time it was, outside of two others. Now not only are there numerous digimon comparable to Metal Greymon, there are two levels higher than Metal Greymon. Some series go ''three'' levels higher!
