I'd recommend Confidential Confessions, it's very good stuff. By the way I'm a guy and I read this stuff. I'm pretty open with stories, but I won't read any of the yaoi stuff.

Reason I read CC books is for something different, that I might not otherwise read, that's the beauty of manga I guess. My 15 year old niece also read them and thought they were good.

I also believe the Erica Sakurazawa series from Tokyopop is also pretty good.

No yaoi? Darn it! *hugs her copy of FAKE*

Peach Girl is the one I recommend. I think it'd be perfect for what you're looking for, although it can be a bit hard to find.

Kare First Love is just what you're looking for:

KARE FIRST LOVE 184 pages $9.95 Category: SHÔJO Available from VIZ, August 2004

Life is pretty dull for four-eyed high school student Karin. She has never thought of herself as beautiful or glamorous, yet one day she finds Kiriya, the hottest guy in school, taking pictures of her in the subway. Karin is not sure if he actually likes her or if he just some kind of weirdo. Things are further complicated when Yuka, the most popular girl in Karin’s school takes a romantic interest in Kiriya and views Karin as her rival. Karin tries build up her courage and self esteem and stand up to Yuka. A modern story inspired by the classic Ugly Duckling fairy tale, KARE FIRST LOVE, from Kaho Miyasaka, realistically depicts a young girl’s path to discover her true self and her first experiences with love.

KARE FIRST LOVE is an ongoing series still published in the pages of Shôjo Comic in Japan and has sold over 1.5 million copies. This is the first time the manga will be offered to an English-speaking audience.
