Strong Conflict between Uke and Seme

I am seeking mangas, where there is a real conflict of interest between the uke and seem. It has to be the focal and driving force behind the main plot.
I prefer stories in which the uke, as a result of upbringing or expectations placed upon him due to family, class, religion, etc., must remain pure and virginal. He is usually very proud and always strives to behave according to the expectations expected of him. As a result, he is repressed and unhappy. Usually the seme is a very proud person as well and, tries hard to break down the uke's inner set of values, to conquer him completely.
Stories like this include:
Maiden Rose: Taki must remain spiritually and physical pure due to his position as leader of the country. Klaus is driven mad due to the neglect and they end up having a very angsty and unhealthy relationship.
Mirage of Blaze: Kagetora is both by class and birth, of higher rank than Naoe. He also represses himself sexually due to associating the act with dirtiness (due to childhood abuse). This leads to Naoe's insecurity complex and hatred/lust/love towards Kagetora. Naoe's deep fantasy is to dethrone and humiliate his master.
Afuresou na Pool: Ahh half this manga was about the battle of will between Iriya and Kizu. Iriya is a weird combination of proud, scared, and repressed. And Kizu is a predator.
Thanks for your help!

I really liked Yellow and Negai Kanae Tamae. Those fit right on the mark.
Koisuru Boukun is more a struggle between a self-proclaimed "straight" uke with a tsundere complex so it's less of what I am looking for.
Sakura Gari is beautiful and elegant but doesn't quite first the prompt as well.
I will go on and take a look at Not Equal and Yuuutsu na Asa.
