-----Glass Mask (The manga has been running from 1976. Has had several anime adaptations, the oldest ran during 1984 and the newest in 2005. And we're not counting the dorama, the Noh play, etc.)

-----Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kôen Mae Hashutsujo (Called Kochikame for short, and for good reason. It is the longest continuous running manga series in terms of number of volumes, though Golgo 13 beats it in years. Started in 1976: 30 years, 1400+ chapters in 162 tankoban volumes. IT'S STILL RUNNING.)
-------Also has a 367 episode anime adaptation and two movies.


so yeah, Marik the uberbot got it right.
