Slightly odd request, but I was looking for some series that give a good portrayal of immature, shallow crushes. It doesn't matter whether they fall for someone else later like in Card Captor Sakura or Guyver or they simply move on to being single. The point is that the person has a crush that is ultimately somewhat immature, superficial or just not as profound as they initially think, and they eventually move on. I'd prefer some reflection involved, but despite this I'd like something that's not too far down the shoujo hole.

Hmmm... it's not the main focus of her series, but Takahashi comes to mind as good at portraying these kinds of crushes (alongside the more maniacal unwanted suitor).

Especially thinking of Akane's crush on Dr. Tofu in Ranma 1/2. Though that only lasts for 5 episodes or so.

Kozue's feelings for Godai in Maison Ikkoku is another example of this kind of thing, and that lasts pretty much the entire series. Although she becomes less and less frequent of a character...
