Looking for Female on Male abuse

I've noticed anime lacks some certain seriousness when it comes to the topic of boys being abused by their girlsfriends, or even by their female friends. These type of moments are usually used for light hearted laughs and jokes- maybe that's why I hate the Tsundere trope so much. I hate how the female protagonist often abuses the male lead by either using violence or humiliation. The worst part is that we are still supposed to like and emphatize with her. I really can't stand it. They never seem to be self-aware enough to realize how awful it really is.
I'm looking for a manga that takes these tropes and uses them in a realistic manner. Maybe one where the manga portrays the female as a terrible person- someone manipulative and abusive while digging deeper into the boy's mental health. Doesn't need to be like that exactly, of course. I'd just like something that would take the topic of female on male abuse seriously.
PS: Please no hentai!! However, female on male sexual abuse and harassment would be interesting as well, as long as it's treated with respect.
Really hope there's something out there. I haven't read much manga so I'm not sure of how much there is out there. Thought this was the right place to ask for some help. x

Gleipnir is either a good example of this or a really bad example.
In The Earl's Daughter Was Suddenly Employed as the Crown Prince's Fiancée, the female lead isn't abusive, but the male lead's past involves
being sexually assaulted as a child by an adult woman and his trauma from that is treated seriously. But that backstory is also dropped very abruptly into the story, which may be bad pacing or the manga trying to cram in too much story from the original novel.
