Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl is pretty good.
It's a yuri series that manages to get the formula mostly right, in that it manages to portray a teen lesbian romance within a framework that could, with some rosy glasses, actually reflect a real relationship. Sure, it's fluffy and a bit cringe at times, but teen relationships are a little cringe, and these characters are mostly mature enough to handle the pitfalls of being with one another.

Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl is the kind of manga that I could read over and over again, and I'd still never get sick of it.
