Live action dramas and movies based on comics and anime

Adapted from the excellent shounen/seinen manga "20th Century Boys" by Urasawa Naoki.

Has sequels.

Adapted from the seinen manga with the same name, by Nakamura Hikaru.
Also has another version.

Adapted from shounen/seinen manga "Kamisama no Iutoori" by Fujimura Akeji and Kaneshiro Muneyuki. 

The movie is... not exactly good, but for a fan of the manga, it's fairly decent.
(The manga is completely insane. I love it.)

Adapted from the shounen manga with the same name, by Obata Takeshi and Ohba Tsugumi. (The guys who made "Death Note".)

Based on the shounen manga with the same name, by Nakazawa Keiji.
(Several different LAs exist.)

Adapted from the seinen manga with the same name, by Taguchi Masayuki and Takami Koushun.

(One of my all time fav mangas. Gory!)

Adaptation of Kubo Tite's shounen manga with the same name. 

(My guilty pleasure... The only super-mainstream shounen series I've ever liked. I reluctantly confess that I'm a fan... lol...)

Drama adapted from Sanbe Kei's manga with the same name. ("Erased" in English.)

Korean adaptation of Japanese hit shoujo manga "Hana Yori Dango" by Kamio Yoko.

Also has Japanese original versions + Taiwanese and Thai versions.

Thai adaptation of the classic Japanese shoujo manga with the same name, by Kamio Yoko. 

Has original Japanese versions (the best of them all) as well as Korean and Taiwanese versions.

Actually--all the three first versions are good, in their own way. Taiwan's "Meteor Garden" is often overshadowed by the much beloved Japanese original, as well as the super flashy Korean version--but give it a chance. It may be dated in looks, but it's actually just as good as the others. Better, in some ways.

Adaptation of the josei manga by the same name (basically. "Usagi doroppu" = rabbit/bunny drop) by Unita Yumi.

Based on the webtoon horror-manhwa by Kim Carnby and Hwang Young-chan.

The manhwa is excellent--the drama is worth a watch and very cool in many ways--but the plot changes were so massive that it really put me off. Therefore not too good a rating from me...

Korean adaptation (that can be discussed, since it's not very faithful to the original manga) of the Japanese manga by the same name, by Hoji Tsukasa.

Live action version of the josei manga by the same name, by Kimura Marumi and Minato Kanae.

(Don't let the "josei" stamp fool you... this is DARK, psychological suspense, not just a drama.)

(Yoshida--a brilliant mangaka--is also the mangaka behind the excellent SEINEN/SHOUNEN manga "Banana Fish". I refuse to call that piece shoujo (and definitely not "BL", as too many claim.) The only reason it was labeled "shoujo" is sexism. Because the mangaka is female and females "can't" do action/thrillers.)

Adaptation of the shoujo manga with the same name (English; "Absolute Boyfriend") by Watase Yuu.

Har several different adaptations.
