* ''[[Glass Mask]]''. The ([[Print Long Runners|still ongoing]]) manga started in 1976, and was set in then-present day. In later volumes, we're told outright that a little more than seven in-universe years have passed since then; the characters age believably, and the technology level is entirely compatible with the mid-80s... except cell phones and the internet have been featured and discussed (as in, "in this day and age it's normal to talk to people you've never met over the internet"). |

* [[Lupin |
* ''[[Lupin III]]'' has been around since 1967, and none of the characters look any older. This is fine, since the franchise clearly runs on [[Negative Continuity]], but Lupin's grandfather is still canonically Arsene Lupin. Who was born in 1874. Assuming an average of 45+ years between each generation of the Lupin dynasty isn't ''impossible'' (especially considering [[Casanova|their]] [[Handsome Lech|reputations]]), but gets a little less probable with every passing year. |

* ''[[Doraemon]]'' managed to outlive one of its creators, and yet poor Nobita and his friends are still in the fourth grade. |

* ''[[Crayon Shin-chan]]'' [[Author Existence Failure|sadly also outlived his creator]]. To give an idea of how bad this series is with Comic Book Time: Shin-chan is 5 when the manga starts. His mother's friend Keiko marries, gets pregnant and has a baby. Later on Shin-chan's mom also gets pregnant and has a daughter, Himawari. ''Shin-chan's still five'', and even better, ''the babies are the same age''! |
