Now let's see how it stands for manga! Manga is often longer than anime in terms of volumes, so how long are you willing to go? Oh and for you Trigun Maximum fans out there, this can count as all one series, since the only thing that changed was the name.

Hana Yori Dango is 32 volumes,and Inuyasha is 36+....

I may not follow Inuyasha, but I will follow Handan!

kare kano... 18 volumes.

Ranma 1/2 is up to volume 33 or 34 now. I think it's getting close to the end.

Rurouni Kenshin... at 28, though it's only almost over.

I have 25 volumes of Rurouni Kenshin thus far

DNAngel, at 9, is the current contender, but I assure you I will get ALL 7 of the Full Moon series.

...okay, so those aren't very big numbers, but they are compared to the rest of my collection!

Fruits Basket at 13 volumes is the largest of two manga series I own, the other being Azumanga Daioh with 4 volumes. Admitted, I don't own much Manga, but I make up for it with my regular book collection.

I have 21 volumes of Yugioh so far, out of 38.

I think in the end the longest manga series I'll own is Pokemon Special. Volume 22 of the series brings it up to the end of the Ruby/Saphire saga, and then they have to start on the Emerald and Fire Red/Leaf Green arcs, and THEN they'll be moving on to Diamond/Pearl and possibly Ranger + arcs based on any other main Pokemon games that get released. It could never end! ^_^.

up to volume 26 of Rurouni Kenshin.

Probably Detective Conan, which has ~ 47+ volumes and the latest volume I have is 40-something.

Detective Conan/Case Closed - 10 out of 50 (according to anime news network there are currently 50)

Rurouni Kenshin - 25 out of 28

Kindaichi Case Files - 3 out of 27


I had no idea there were that many volumes of Conan - o_O my poor wallet appreciates that it will be a few years before they're all released in the US.

And I'd have more Kindaich volumes, except that none of the stores in my area carry them, and there are other series that are higher on my priority list for the time being.

Yeah, I've been wanting to try Kindaichi Case Files, but I can never find Volume 1 in stores.

Anyway, my longest manga series is, unfortunately, every volume of Mixx's poor translation of the Sailor Moon manga. I really wish someone would rerelease it with a better translation but I may as well hold my breath there.

Otherwise, the only series I've collected are Azumanga Daioh and what's been released of Yotsuba&!

D'oh! I totally forgot Furuba at 13! Forgive me, Takaya-sensei!

Ooh D: Lesse.

x/1999 - Holding at 18
Fruits Basket - 10
Saiyuki- 10 [ counting Reload ]
Hana Kimi - 11 [ Out of 29038490384 ]
Flame of Recca - 15 [ Out of about 30 ]

I could go on and on... I ALWAYS. ALWAYS. [ Ask Yeito ] Pick the longest series. =\ ...... Lol.

Rurouni Kenshin. I own volumes 1-24, and I plan to buy the remainder of the seires (28), as soon as I accumulate some actual spending money. XD

Probably Fruits Basket and Rurouni Kenshin, which I don't own all of yet. Wait, how many volumes are in Full Metal Alchemist?

Six volumes of Magic Knight Rayearth.

Fruits Basket at 13, but I have read alot of mangas online that are far beyond that. They just haven't come out here for me to buy them yet T_T

I own twenty-four volumes of Ruroken.

Oh! Sensei or not-- we must vote you off the island for such an oversight!

*sigh*


Too bad we don't have an island. . .

I own 1-21 of RK.(though i can't seem to find 1) When I accumulate more money, I'll probably continue.

I got so far behind in Ruroken, I just gave up. I'm up to the "East Sea Road' volume, and I have 2-12 of Fruits Basket, 1-3 of Tsuabasa, 1 of More Starlight for your Heart, and 1 of Desert Coral.

For me, it's Please Save My Earth. I'm almost a third of the way through the 21-volume epic. BTW, you can always check out this link for manga comparisons.

I think I just knocked you down 3 belts for that comment, padawan.

And now for something ON topic, this is the #1 reason I can't imagine anyone buying a series without getting to know it first--I'd HATE to get 4 or 5 volumes into a series and then discover something about it I couldn't stand...and then get stuck with those volumes to give away or try to sell. (happened to me with Faeries' Landing)

Yeah, the most volumes I have of a series is Fruits Basket at of course 13 volumes. ^^

Excel Saga, at 14. After that is Jing, with 13.

My longest is Inuyasha at Volume 25, 23 books. I don't have 3 and 4 yet.

I think it'd be Flame of Recca with.. 16 or 17 volumes. :3 Or maybe Rave Master, although I'm missing a few. @o@

A tie between Kare Kano and Rurouni Kenshin (16+ each).
