Whoops, I didn't mean to capitalize "creator." I must have thought I was in the wrong forum. ;^)
You've got the "other forum" tagline, too...
I mentioned a couple manga earlier with your daughter in mind... thinking about it, I'm not sure "Fruits Basket" would be perfectly appropriate. It's mostly a lovely, sweet story about coming-of-age and such (with random transformations and a zodiac curse, but that's beside the point) but there are some bits that may be slightly inappropriate... something that may be an implied homosexual crush, for instance, though it's hard for me to tell.
"Rurouni Kenshin", though, should be ok. It's violent sometimes, but very low actual death count, since Kenshin doesn't kill people any more. And it's very historically accurate, so you or she might end up learning something about Meiji-era Japan. It made watching "The Last Samurai" much more interesting for me because I knew the political situtation in the background.
If you like, I'll think about any other manga that might be acceptable. "Ranma" is fairly harmless but gets repetitive and the art's not that great. Oh, yeah, and if they sell it in shrink-wrap, they usually mean it... don't get Battle Royale... ;-)
