Hi everyone,I'm looking for recommendations for a gift for my step-daughter. She is 14, so nothing too mature please!I'd like something with a fantasy twist but that's not essential. What is essential is that the female characters are not sexualized or really "weak" or ive. And that it's not about romance 4m4o6e

I think since this is a gift, OP might be looking for manga actually licensed in English? So I've limited my recommendations to that. Also, note, some of these series are lengthy, so they might not be good one-off gifts.

Completed:
The Tale of the Outcasts (fantasy, action)

Ongoing:
Yona of the Dawn (fantasy, romance, adventure)

This might be a bit late but I would really recommend Tongari Boushi no Atelier

It's a fantasy manga about a world where you draw magic in patterns on paper with special ink to craft different spells. The main character is a young girl who gets dragged into the witch society and learns about magic and makes friendships. The art and world building is also just fantastic. One of the downsides with this would be that it's not fully released but there are 12 volumes right now released in English!

If you still haven't found anything, I recommend you buy Bless (SONOYAMA Yukino) (you can try it out before buying lol.)

Maybe it's a bit too adult for a 14 years old, but in the next few years she will probably be able to appreciate it to it's full potential.

It's about learning how to grow up with a fondness and ion for make-up and modeling, in the context of becoming an adult that will either choose to go pro with it or not, and how to keep enjoying such ion.
The two main character either put make-up on models or model themselves, all in all it's about beautiful people and the art of creating fashion icons.

You can find the first three volumes in original english on amazon, published from kodansha comics.
