For a dynamic that's more about rivalry and intellectual friction morphing into respect and then something more, 'The Huntress' series by Ilona Andrews (starts with 'On the Edge') is great urban fantasy. The leads are both powerful, stubborn adults with their own responsibilities and trauma. They have to learn to work as equals, and the romantic tension comes from that grudging partnership. It's a fantastic model for a relationship built on mutual capability, not rescue.
Honestly, a lot of manga gets this right in a way some novels don't. 'Solanin' by Inio Asano is a brutally real snapshot of post-college drift and how it strains a relationship. It's about a couple facing the 'what now?' after graduation, dealing with dead-end jobs and fading dreams. The love is there, but it's under immense pressure from external realities. The art conveys so much quiet anxiety and longing. It doesn't offer easy answers, which is precisely why it resonates.

On the day we got our marriage license, Ryan Miller laid down a rule: now that we were married, if we slept in separate rooms for more than a week, we were automatically considered divorced.
So every time we argued, the moment he picked up his pillow and headed for the guest room, I'd immediately give in and apologize, no matter who was at fault. For three years, he used that one rule to control me completely.
On my 28th birthday, he stood me up again because of an intern at work.
When he got home, I didn't reach for the diamond necklace he held out to me. He frowned, studying me for a long moment before finally speaking, his voice cold.
"So, in your eyes, a birthday that comes every single year is more important than someone's life? I took Katie to the hospital and came back as fast as I could, but you still want to pick a fight? Emily, your jealousy honestly scares me."
With that, he turned and walked toward the guest room.
But this time, I didn't follow him.
