::waves:: Just discovered this community through a recent mention posted to shinkumi--great stuff!
A few anime/manga series that spring to mind...(and an endorsement for Skip Beat! and Fruits Basket, which I also adore--and the relationship between Rin and Tohru is wonderful as well).
Azumanga Daioh (anime/manga)--the main female characters (who comprise most of the recognizable cast) relate with each other in interesting ways...even though the series is completely crazy.
Naruto (anime/manga)--Despite Sakura's and Ino's rivalry over Sasuke, we get a deeper, poignant look at their friendship later on.
Revolutionary Girl Utena (anime/manga), of course--there are fascinating relationships among the female characters. Sure, there's a lot of jealousy, but there's also friendship, attraction and self-sacrifice.
GALS! is basically built around the friendship that springs up between three very different girls--Ran, Miyu and Aya.
Princess Nine (anime)--Hey, it's a girl's baseball team, how can there not be some entertaining interactions among girls! Same is true of Angel Cup (manhwa) (only it's soccer).
Flower of Life is mostly a stream of high-school-life vignettes; several of them involve girls connecting/trying to get along with each other.
A few other titles are "honorable mentions": Love*Com (manga), R.O.D/Read or Dream (manga); Read or Die (anime OVA) and R.O.D The TV (anime); and Venus Versus Virus (manga).
