Most mature school girls
In every anime regarding schoolgirls, I see lots of immature elementary, middle/junior high and high school girls. Some girls are boy-crazy, some are airheaded, some have violent tempers, some have insecure feelings and jealousy. Of course they aren't mature because they're not yet adults but some pre-adult girls can be precocious or mature at an early age. Even young geniuses tend to not act mature. However, as some of those school girls including Sakura Kinomoto (Card Captor Sakura) and Nina Sakura (Ultra Maniac) were character-wise developed throughout the shows, they have proved themselves to be more mature. But other girls have not changed.
The only mature school girls I can think of are Rika Sasaki (Card Captor Sakura), Kozue Aoba (Mahoraba) and Rei Ayanami (Evangelion)
EDIT: Gatekeepers- Kaoru Konoe is always fascinated with Shun. Megumi has a lot of resentment, angst and jealousy towards Ruriko bottled up inside her. Feye is very childish. Ruriko is sometimes irrational towards Shun and doesn't have the courage to express her feelings honestly. Reiko is very airheaded.
EDIT: Marmalade Boy- Meiko is vulnerable, insecure, and is always deeply hurt about her parents' domestic disputes, so she cries to sleep all the time in private and then turns over to Namura. Miki Koishikawa's refusal to accept her parents' official divorce as well as her intolerance of the other family living in her own house hasn't enhanced her maturity at all.
Love Hina- A junior high schooler Shinobu's insecurities, self-doubts and lack of confidence doesn't make her mature. Motoko, a high school student, has a violent temper as well as a superiority complex. Another junior high school girl named Kaolla is a mischievous and hyperactive eccentric.
Ai Yori Aoshi- technically Mayu is a college student but she's 16 years old and she has a bratty personality. Chika is too mischievous to be called mature.
Mahoraba- For an intelligent, cool and intuitive high schooler, Tamami Chanohata sometimes act irritated and very jealous when it comes to Kozue-chan. But the reason that I couldn't see her as mature is because she was so selfish about Kozue that she didn't think clearly about Kozue-chan's feelings, nor have a proper concern.
Neon Genesis Evangelion- Asuka Langley Soryu is very arrogant and impulsive brat.
Ichigo 100%- Tsukasa Nishino is pretty insecure and broods over about Junpei's attention. Yui Minamoto is too childish and bratty to qualify as mature. Satsuki Kitaouji is violent-tempered and very horny about Junpei. Aya doesn't seem a lot mature to me with her shyness and self-doubts.
Card Captor Sakura- Sakura is very boy-crazy with older boys. Meiling acts spoiled and full of pride and is nearly always disappointed to tears every time a plan of hers to win Syaoran’s heart backfires. Even the intelligent, studious and demure Tomoyo has an obsession with Sakura, which hardly qualifies as mature.
Gunslinger Girl- granted, all five preteen girls named Henrietta, Triela, Rico, Claes and Angelica aven't enrolled into a normal school, but they do take foreign language lessons and classic literature lessons from Hillshire and some other adult supervisors. Besides, the girls are still at elementary school age. Also they are taught or rather trained by their supervisors. Henrietta seems quite precocious but still has a lot to learn about (adult) womanhood. Triela is confused about her feelings toward Hillshire. Rico is vulnerable and has some difficulties adjusting to her life or understanding the environment around her. Angelica is always worried whenever her handler isn‘t satisfied with her performance and wanted to die badly because she failed to please her handler. However, Claes appears to be the most mature of the lot
Green Green- Midori Chitose is so boy-crazy with Yusuke, that she never focuses on her high school studies, as if Yusuke was her entire life. Not only Futaba Kutsuki doesn’t even bother to hide her intolerance as well as bad temper towards perverted guys, but as well, she slacks off her studies as if they aren’t important and she sometimes jumps to conclusions.
Magikano- all school girls except Haruo’s two other sisters are so obsessed with Haruo, that they have done may immature things, like competing with each other to the point either they or their love interest Haruo get seriously injured by their own foolish actions. Also, Haruo's youngest sister is always obsessed with money and Haruo's second youngest sister is equally obsessed with food.
Kage Kara Mamoru- Airi Sawagashi reacts violently to Mamoru’s criticism and sarcasm towards her, meaning she lashes out at him. Not a mature thing to do. Hattori Yamame is childish, and so is Hotaru Kumogaku. Yuuna is very air-headed and clueless. Tsubaki Mapputatsu doesn’t act quite mature, too, with her temper, naivete, and poor judgment of character.
Chobits- Yumi Oomura, a 17-year old girl with an inferiority complex, which prevented her ull maturity because she was always crying about persocoms being better than humans and that she could not compete with even a dead persocom for Hiroyasu Ueda's love.
GTO- Miyabi Aizawa always act like a spoiled child. The girls who bullied Yoshikawa end up crying for Onizuka's mercy as he was punishing them to avenge Yoshikawa's humiliation. Even Urumi Kanzaki, a super-genius with an IQ of 200 does have an immature side and refuses to let go of her past in which she was betrayed by a teacher, which is why she pulled pranks on teachers.
Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances)- Yukino Miyazawa is vain and egotistical perfectionist who pretends to be perfect and cool to win praise from others. When she ditches her pretense and starts to act normal, she acts like an elementary schooler instead of high schooler with her irrational temper and love-stricken fantasies.
Ultra Maniac- Ayu is boy-crazy and Nina is clueless and doesn't have enough common sense that she does some foolish things.
I My Me Strawberry Eggs- full of vulnerable junior high schoolers who clearly are confused about their feelings and don't seem EDIT: mature.
My Wife is a High School Girl- How can a whiny and emotionally insecure high school girl like Asami Onohara become a decent housewife, much less a perfect one?
