CLAMP
My history with them started around my kindergarten time, and for someone that's nearing 30, it's rather impossible to correctly remember everything in chronological order, so the following is in the order of the works' publication date, not in the order of when I personally come across them.

Series and works (everything listed, I've obviously read, so will not make additional notes on the matter)
 * ~ I own
 * CLAMP学園探偵団［ Clamp School Detectives ］ (3 volumes)
 * 魔法騎士レイアース［ Magic Knight Rayearth ］ (3 volumes)
 * 魔法騎士レイアース2［ Magic Knight Rayearth 2 ］ (3 volumes)
 * カードキャプターさくら［ Cardcaptor Sakura ］ (12 volumes)
 * CLOVER (4 volumes)
 * ×××HOLiC (19 volumes)
 * ~ I previously owned but traded
 * 20面相におねがい!!［ Man of Many Faces ］ (2 volumes) (Now somewhat regretting the decision. It's not because I suddenly realized I do love the books so much, but more because, the newer book covers get worse imo, so I know if I ever want to reobtain the two-book series, I wouldn't like it as much as the original editions.)
 * ANGELIC LAYER (5 volumes)
 * すき. だからすき［ Suki: A Like Story ］ (⅓ volumes) (This one was a failed Christmas gift exchange from a friend; I neither requested it nor wanted it, and it was only 1 volume out of the 3 for the series. I read it, and didn't care for it. There's a chance that that 1 volume is in fact still at home somewhere, but I'm treating it as if I've given it away, because if I hadn't done so already, that's what I'd be doing.)
 * ~ I wish to own (before I die lmao)
 * 東京BABYLON［ Tokyo Babylon ］ (Annoyed because I'm pretty sure I've missed my chance of obtaining the editions I would have liked to own; the newer book covers get worse imo. And since that happened and that I'm not seeing it as a "must", I still don't own it.)

トリニティ・ブラッド［ Trinity Blood ］
This series is as of now the ONE AND ONLY rare case, in which I'm fond of all the existing versions: the original light novels, the manga adaptation, and the anime adaptation. Personally my favorite is the R.O.M. series. BTW, I'm actually still having hopes Hollywood would pick this up lol This series has so much more to offer than half of the other vampire stuff currently on the market!

Yes, I'm aware that unfortunately Sunao Yoshida (吉田直) died before he could finish, what apparently still has a long way to go, but the 6 finished books are solid enough if not touching upon the whole origin of Methuselah.

Inkheart trilogy
Love the books, wish there were more, but am happy with what there is. Before you start talking crap about the film, I'll just tell you, I actually like this adaptation way more than how the HP film franchise is handled comparing to its source material; of course it's not exactly the same as the book, but its treatment and alteration is more reasonable and understandable than the... what I called almost-overated film franchise.
 * Side-note: Don't get me wrong, I DON'T HATE the HP film adaptations, but I'm certainly not overly fond of it like I probably would have been, had it actually been how EPIC it needed to be.

For Inkheart, I'm just disappointed that the film was so under-appriciated and therefore no sequels.

ハイキュー!!［ Haikyu!! ］
I'm pretty sure I've proclaimed this somewhere; problem is I don't remember where, so I might as well add it onto my mass profile lmao. This series, as of now, somewhat topped, if not at least on the same level with, the case I mentioned above with TB; I'm relatively fond of all the existing versions: the original manga series, the anime adaptation, the live stage-play adaptation, and the companion novels.

It was to my greatest shock because prior to this series, I was very judgmental (still am, in fact) and don't care much for even thinking about giving live stage-plays a try: I have a very unfounded and bias preconception that they look silly and they ought to be crap. That is on me, but is also why I was completely blown away by the authenticity of ハイパープロジェクション演劇 「ハイキュー!!」[HYPER PROJECTION ENGEKI “HAIKYU!!”]. I was and still am bloody impressed. Yes, obviously some tweaks were still made, but that's some true respect shown towards the source material, something somehow were always made excuses for when failing to do so in western adaptations. From stage design and effects to soundtracks, everything, the direction and the actual production were just great.
