What do you think is the best manga series for girls?
4hdcclassic
...could you vague that up a bit? :)
There are literally dozens or hundreds of titles for girls, so it depends a lot on a girl.
I'm not a girl but I have been enjoying Nana a lot. Starts a bit questionably, but manages to put a good plot with some genuine emotional depth and characters who actually grow and develop during the series, it is one of the better manga series I have read and I guess it is shoujo or possibly josei.

I like Ranma 1/2 and Bleach. I'm a girl if that helps any- I like manga to form part of a balanced diet of reading!
It depends what sort of books/ genres you normally like to read. I recommend the method of finding a good bookstore with stocks and flicking through the first book to see what you like.

I went to Barnes and Noble to check out manga and the clerk working there said her favorite manga for girls was Vampire Knight. Has anyone read it? Fruits Basket looks like it might be good too.

I have the whole Maison Ikkoku, Love as a Foreign Language, and some Japanese learning mangas, like Apprendre le Japonais grâce aux Manga, 'Kana et Kanji de Manga' by Glen Kardy.
For other series, I tend to borrow the ones from the local library, as they have rows of mangas. I have been reading lately Emma, 'Black Rose Alice' by Setona Mizushiro. I used to own the whole Paradise Kiss series, but I needed some other books, so I swapped them on BookMooch.
From my childhood, I used to watch the 'Mysterious Cities of Gold', 'Candy Candy' (Korean Manga from 1980s), 'Ulysses 31', 'Albator', 'Capitaine Flam' and 'Goldorak'. I have them on DVDs in my collection.

6> I've read a few chapters of Vampire Knight and it wasn't horrible. Many of my students like it too. Fruits Basket was the number 1 best selling manga in North America for a year or so. If you like girls manga, it's probably one of those 'to read' titles.
There's a rating and genera listing on the back of every Manga in the US. Be sure to check it out.
FYI: My personal favorite manga is Yotsubato which I think is a really good comic for all demographics.

I read some of the first books from Fruits Basket but quit for now, I probably need to try to reread it sometimes later.
It's a good series (or actually couple of first books are pretty weak, but I knew this before from others' comments, and it seems to be rather common in longer manga series that the first book or two are weak), but I was probably reading it a bit too sporadically, for I had a serious case of Russian-novel-problem...there are loads of characters, several of which are called by several names, and the drawing style didn't help...so there was lots of "oh, wait, who is this character?".
And I emphasize, the cast of the manga is notably bigger than in most others and in the books I read several of them were fleshed out and apparently in the later books the rest of them got also their moments in the center...

What is the best manga to read to learn about Japanese culture?

Well, you said you've lived here for 15 years, so I don't know if Manga will be a culture substitute. But, you will get a nice slice of Japanese life from the comic I previously mentioned called Yotsubato. It's available in English, but it's a really good book to read if you want to practice reading Japanese.
Not sure if I'd recommend these to ladies, since they can be a little perverted, but I found that satirical comics like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Excel saga teach you a lot about the culture by criticizing it. In the English versions they have large sections at the back of every volume explaining the cultural nuances.
{edit: saw a really annoying mistake}
