What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

First thing that came to mind was Ultimate Venus.
I think it follows a bit into this plotline..
A guardian falls in love with their charge, but doesn't want to interfere with their charge's normal development as a teenager. So they completely suppress/repress those feelings to play a perfect parental role, only to watch the one they love grow up and marry someone else...

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Except the perspective is from the charge's point of view. But the protagonist becomes a rich heiress and is given three candidates for marriage, yet she falls for her caretaker and even though he rejects her (mostly due to his duty..I believe), he says he'll protect her no matter who she marries..

Can't think of any manga where love vs duty as you describe is a main point, but here are the closest I can manage:

Annarasumanara - she used to like magic, but as she grows up, she studies and works hard to earn money. She tries to ignore the male lead, a childish magician, who awakens her old feelings.

Boku to Watashi no Henai Jijou - they break up due to a lack of time to spend together.

Glass Mask - he supports her as an actress, angering her to awaken her passion, even though he loves her and would rather treat her better so she would like him. Age gap and social differences also play a role.

Otoyomegatari - a later arc,

Two characters fall in love, but the father opposes the marriage, and in that culture, the daughter has to obey the father without question.

Ga-Rei - Humans with sixth-senses, spirits; love > duty
Vampire Juujikai - Vampires, duty > love
Akagami no Shirayukihime - Prince and peasant girl, prince ditches duty pretty fast

A small sheep dreams - Restricted feelings due to the situation they are both in

edit: also, Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si-Do is a good example I think smile
