Line 6:
Shinichiro Josaki is the privileged son of the owner of Josaki Electronis. His hobby is to challenge people to Digimon V-Pet battles, defeats them ruthlessly with his Deathmon, and rub his victory in by [[Kick the Dog|crushing the opponent's V-Pets under his foot]]. Meanwhile, after a friendly V-Pet battle with some friends, Makoto Abe encounters Kentaro Kamon, well-known for his apparent disdain of animals, being the only person without a V-Pet and for getting into a fight with some high schoolers. Makoto discovers he picked up a V-Pet on the street, though Kentaro insists that he hates the things and tries to press it onto Makoto. Makoto uses a 3D virtual projection machine constructed by his brother to bring to life the V-Pet's contents, a so-called defective "Damemon" by the name of Bun, and Kentaro reluctantly adopts it.
 
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 his Greymon and, after revealing he extensively researches the background and strength of his V-Pet opponents, [[Moral Event Horizon|destroys the V-Pet]]. Furious, Kentaro and Bun swear to defeat him in ten days' time.

=== ''[[C'mon Digimon|C Mon Digimon]]'' contains examples of: ===
* [[All Animals Are Dogs|All Mons Are Dogs]]: Bun has the personality of a puppy.
* [[Art Evolution]] / [[Off-Model]]: 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.
Line 18:
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: One of the few adaptations where Digimon don't do this. Instead, their owner orders the attacks by calling them for the Digimon.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Only Makoto's Digimon and Bun are referred to as something other than their species name.
* [[Expy]]: This manga is confirmed to have later influenced ''[[Digimon V-Tamer 01]]'', and by extension everything else ''Digimon'' ever. Taichi Yagami ([[Digimon Adventure|both of him]]) was directly inspired by Kentaro, Shinichiro resembles Neo Saiba (and by extension [[Digimon Xros Wars: theThe Young Hunters Leaping Through Time|Ryouma Mogami]] by way of recursive expies), and Makoto resembles [[Digimon Tamers|Kenta Kitagawa]] (and also [[Name's the Same|shares a name]] with a different ''Tamers'' character). Additionally, this manga's interpretation of Greymon's appearance was adapted into the Veedramon species.
* [[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, kid with traumatizing past whose partner overcomes adversity when they [[Character Development|overcome their resulting personal issues]], developed storytelling capabilities, etc.) in just a few pages.
* [[Glitch Character]]: Bun, possibly.
