Manga Suggestions

I was thinking about this while I posted in the Fruits Basket thread. I am more into anime than I am into manga so my knowledge is very limited on the reading material. My daughter loves manga. She is 14 (will be 15 next month). I was wondering if the folks here could offer some suggestions of some titles. My wife will allow no language/sexual references/nudity in these titles. Her tastes would lean more towards the teenage romance type series. All help with this will be appreciated.

Angelic Layer is the first one that comes to mind. It's entirely clean--the only even remotely objectionable think I can thing of is a few passing comments about the color of someone's underwear. There's no language, no nudity whatsoever, and pretty decently dressed people to boot (I can think of the most indecently dressed character, and she's like in a onepiece swimsuit). And there's a little bit of a sugary-sweet romance to it too, but again, very clean, very innocent.

Hikaru no Go is a great series. I've been reading it in Shonen Jump and I love it so far, it's pretty funny. I'm your daughter's age, so maybe she would like it too. Hikaru's a sixth grader, so there's not really any romance, but it's a fun, clean title that I really enjoy. ^.~
