Honey and Clover (I don't want to spoil the ending for you but it's basically the exact opposite of what you described)
Lupin III: The Woman Called Mine Fujiko (despite the fact that the show is incredibly sexual and the main character is often naked it's surprisingly a really good show and does a great job of writing an overlooked character from a classic anime in a way that doesn't betray her original characterization at all... it's just fantastic, I'm sorry)
