I've gotten to Case Closed vol. 11 ... that's the furthest I've ever gotten with a series. The Evangelion manga (at 10 volumes) is a close second :]
Rena Ryuugu
Oyashiro-Sama
Naruto with 28 volumes
fabio de lunatico
Claymore
I tend to avoid the really long series, not least because of concerns over storage space. And filler material, which a lot of long-running manga have, pisses me off.
At 15 volumes Maison Ikkoku is currently the longest completed manga I own. Monster will eventually become the longest, though, with 18 volumes in total.

Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo @ 158 tankoubons.
I wish.. I've read all of the first part of Naruto (27), via purchasing and I've read about 25% percent of One Piece, overall, I skipped loads, though. I started again from where the manga was and I'm slowly catching up with it (Reliving the epic moments). From the 27 of Naruto, I own, though - The next longest series is Death Note at 12. Daym, Shounen sure know how to stretch out a series. Quality not quantity.

Though I've only read around 53 volumes of it, as I've read parts 1-4 of it, and I stopped half way through part 5. Part 6 hasn't all been scanlated yet and I've read a few volumes of Steel Ball Run.
So you've read ALL 158 volumes of Kochikame? Wait, nevermind, read your post. ;/ There's only a few chapters been translated of it, IIRC.Jayme said:

I've kept away from Naruto and One Piece and the waves because they're so long.
Current longest, have them, read them:
Lone Wolf And Cub all 28.
Samurai Deeper Kyo at 27 (38 in all)
Vagabond I'll have 27 soon (still ongoing, hopefully)
GTO 25 in all.
Basara 22 (going to finish soon at 27)
Berserk at 21 (ongoing at 32)
Bleach at 21 (ditto)
Dragon Ball at 20 (I'm stuck here)
Ranma 1 1/2 19 (stuck in old left to right volumes)
BOTI at 18 (ongoing at 22)
Anybody know did Viz decide to drop this? I've been a bit curious about the second
longest running manga at 92 volumes for it's fight scenes, but if they've stopped it, maybe it saves my shelf space for about ten other series lol.

Of course Part 3 is worth buying, but you really need to know some of the things that happened before then.
It's no regular Shounen series btw. It's quite violent.
EDIT: Viz are only doing part 3 of JJBA, after that I doubt anything else will be done. Mainly because the characters stands are named after bands and such.
