Paradise Kiss
Yukari is a typical high school student on the fast track to attending a university, but her boring life leaves much to be desired; that is, until a motley crew of fashion design students ask her to model their new clothing line: Paradise Kiss! Now, Yukari must choose if she will reject the life her mother has laid out for her, and start making choices on her own for the first time. While taking her first steps into adulthood, Yukari also begins to realize that with freedom comes responsibility; a life in the fashion industry isn't an easy one, especially for someone unsure of her own intentions…

add recAlso by Ai Yazawa, Paradise Kiss is sure to please you. I don't necessarily think this recommendation is good in the other direction - Paradise Kiss is far more serious than Tenshi. That being said, if you liked the lighthearted aspects of Midori's unrequited feelings in Tenshi, you'd probably love the more dramatic, angsty version of love in ParaKiss.
Gokinjo Monogatari
Alt titles: Neighborhood Story
Sixteen-year-old Mikako Kouda has two loves in her life: fashion, and her childhood friend Tsutomu Yamaguchi. Though she dreams of creating her own clothing brand someday, Mikako's true desires lie with Tsutomu - but there's a problem: he's dating the voluptuous and highly-sought-after "Body-Ko!" The two longtime companions seem to have feelings for each other, but school, other relationships and additional obstacles continue to stand in their way. Will Mikako and Tsutomu ever be together?

add recThough both are tales by Ai Yazawa, Neighborhood Story and Tenshi Nanka ja Nai sync up far more than her other works. Unlike one of her more serious stories, these two have a lighthearted, mildly-comedic feel that helps to break up some of the angst and tension. If one of these was to your liking with unrequited and innocent love, try out the other.
